Common CBD Myths 

Unfortunately, there are numerous myths and mistaken beliefs surrounding making use of CBD. Let’s take a more detailed take a look at the most common ones.

Misconception # 1: CBD is medical, and THC is recreational.

In truth, THC has amazing medical properties as does CBD. Scientists at the Scripps Research Center in San Diego reported that “THC inhibits an enzyme linked in the formation of amyloid beta plaque,” which is the type of plaque discovered in Alzheimer’s illness.

The FDA acknowledges single-molecule THC (dronabinol, brand name Marinol) as an anti-nausea representative and appetite booster. They categorize it only as a Class III drug, which is scheduled for less-addictive substances. 

Misconception # 2: CBD is most reliable without THC.

In truth, CBD,  and THC work best together, just as the cannabis plant produces them.

Scientific research studies have shown that THC and CBD act in tandem with each one improving the other’s restorative and natural healing effects.

Misconception # 3: CBD is not psychoactive.

CBD definitely isn’t an intoxicant, however, it’s an error to label it non-psychoactive.

It does act as an effective mood-altering substance, although you do not get “high” as you do from THC. It’s more accurate to say, “CBD isn’t as psychoactive as THC.”

Misconception # 4: Psychoactivity is constantly a negative adverse effect.

Big Pharma is seeking to manufacture clinically active marijuana-like molecules that do not make individuals “high.” So, to them, the “high” is an unwanted side effect.

In truth, the word euphoria actually implies “having health” in Greek; it’s a state of wellness.

Dr. Tod Mikuriya, a psychiatrist and author of books such as the Marijuana Medical Papers says, “We should be thinking of cannabis as a medicine. One that occurs to have some psychoactive properties, as numerous medications do, instead of an intoxicant that occurs to have a few healing properties on the side.”

Myth # 5: CBD is just like a sedative.

The truth is that very high doses of CBD may trigger a sleep-promoting effect (perfect for those suffering from insomnia), however moderate doses can actually be mildly energizing.

In other words, CBD doesn’t cause sedation, but it may help restore better sleeping patterns by helping your brain produce more melatonin throughout the night.

And since it also helps reduce anxiety, it can help improve the quality and duration of your sleep.

Myth # 6: High doses of CBD work better than low doses.

CBD isolates do require higher doses than whole plant CBD-rich oil extracts. That doesn’t mean the single-molecule version is better.

Reports suggest that a synergistic combination of CBD, THC, and other cannabis components can be more effective at lower doses.

Myth # 7: CBD is converted to THC in your stomach.

There have been extensive clinical trials demonstrating that CBD, even at high doses, does not cause THC-like effects.

On the contrary, in the right amounts, CBD can lessen or neutralize the THC “high.”
