Thanks!
All indications point to the likelihood that medicinally used cannabis by way of vaping or eating is non-toxic to the liver. In fact, lab rat studies on synthetic cannabinoids, as you can see if you peruse Granny Storm Crow's links to health-related abstracts, show that they're downright beneficial to the liver. We can't conclude that that means precisely the same thing for people, but it's a fairly safe assumption that cannabis is probably a heck of a lot less harmful than narcotic pain meds, Tylenol, and ethanol (drinking alcohol) when it comes to liver toxicity.

OK, so that being said, you still have a choice. Eating cannabis probably isn't going to stress your liver. But no one can say that for sure because your liver enzymes aren't being tested daily nor is your liver being regularly biopsied. Considering that you've a tendency to worry more rather than less and that it's not practical for you to undergo regular liver function tests--and considering the fact that you're already taking some prescription medicines that you worry about your liver with--wouldn't you perhaps want to think about giving your liver a break from further substances? For now, I mean.

Tokin, do you have any sort of access to a free or sliding-scale clinic where you might find some counseling services that would aid with the anxiety? And do you ever take any exercise? Those two things would make a huge difference in helping alleviate some of your concerns. I'm sure of it.

Sending good thoughts your way, Chick. I suspect a lot of us are here. Anxiety is a bear, and it's a good thing that you're checking this stuff out and talking about it.
