The annoying thing about this comment that CBD is not risk free, is that virtually nothing is risk free. Water is dangerous if you drink it too fast and too much (every year, people die in marathons from brain swelling from too much water). FDA approved GW Pharma's Epidiolex and kids used up to 1500 mg/day (kids!), and the safety profile was good. To "worry" about 30-60 mg/day is ridiculous.

CVSI has published some small studies in healthy volunteers - that's a start, and they have a system of collecting adverse events at the company. Also, they were the only company to present safety data at the FDA/Congressional hearing.

Liver toxicity in high doses in animals is trumped by high dose use in humans. That is a basic concept in medical research. Human experience trumps animal experience nearly every time.

So I get annoyed when "experts" question the safety of CBD. Same story with supplements. "It hasn't been studied in phase 3 studies." Well if that is that standard, then supplements will be unaffordable.
