Medicinal cannabis left liver enzymes undisturbed in cancer patients

PubMed · 2026-06-29

A clinical study of 287 advanced cancer patients found that medicinal cannabis, whether CBD alone or combined with THC, did not meaningfully raise liver enzyme levels over four weeks, even at doses up to 600 mg CBD per day.

1

No patients in the cannabis groups exceeded the liver enzyme thresholds of 3x upper limit of normal (or 5x for those with liver metastases) for ALT or AST.

2

CBD doses up to 600 mg/day showed no clinically meaningful liver enzyme elevation over 28 days.

3

CBD-only and THC/CBD combination products produced no significant differences in liver enzyme levels.
