According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), synthetic products marketed as cannabidiol (CBD) sickened at least 52 people in Utah last winter, sending 31 of them to emergency rooms. Users reported that they had purchased such products as "Yolo CBD oil" at regular smoking and/or head shops, or acquired them from friends. Unlike the many poisoning victims of K2 and other chemicals sold as 'synthetic marijuana' (a.k.a. synthetic cannabinoids), all of the patients identified in the report believed they were consuming legally derived CBD, which experts maintain has little to no potential for psychoactive effects. She also noted that fatalities following the use of this particular formulation, 4-CCB, have already been reported in Europe.
