A patient at a local hospital had been taking cannabidiol (CBD) oil for seizures, but rather than helping control the seizures — as expected — the oil was making the patient sick.
The Utah Poison Control Center (UPCC) picked up the oil and had it analyzed. The bottle in question didn’t contain CBD oil, as the label said, but a synthetic spice-like substance, said UPCC Director Barbara Crouch.
As a result, the UPCC and Department of Public Safety (DPS) have issued a warning regarding a product labeled as “CBD” oil that is being sold at area smoke shops.
