Doesn't damage liver if you vape instead of taking as edible.

I don't see why not. Vaping ibuprofen would probably damage your liver too.

When you ingest cbd or thc, it has to be metabolized by the liver first. When you vape it, it enters the bloodstream and goes to brain without the liver being involved.

What study were you reading that compared effects of liver between cbd and ibuprofen?

Low doses of cbd actually reduce liver inflammation and the studies that I read on liver damage were high doses of 50 - 200mg per kg of body weight. There are even studies that say cbd doesn't damage it at all.

The liver filters toxins from the bloodstream, so presumably anything that enters the bloodstream will be processed by the liver.

A small, exclusive lecture was held at my school where a chemical engineer and cannabinoid researcher with several farms came to talk to us about cannabinoids and cannabinoid processing. It takes similarly high doses of CBD and ibuprofen to damage the liver. You're not going to experience liver damage from 50mg of ibuprofen or CBD. This article is decent.

If you don't OD yourself on either, you're going to be fine. My point was that CBD is mostly a placebo (especially the "feeling of calmness") and not a magic drug that cures every disease. Other cannabinoids have much more potential and should be researched further.
