I should add that, according to the link you provided, CBD carries very little liability to produce side effects, and makes no mention of safety concerns. The study looks like a well-done literature review. The only significant finding is that CBD can affect the levels of those drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome liver enzymes: P450 3A and P450 2C
There is a lot of work being conducted in Israel regarding the use of Cannabis for medical purposes and the individual substances it contains. Some of the studies conducted there suggest that the medicinal value of the plant is superior to pure CBD. They think that additional substances in the plant act as "entourage" adjuncts to CBD. They have developed strains of Cannabis sativa that are high in CBD and low in THC.
