Popular CBD Myths Busted

CBD oil is a hot trend in the wellness sector and with good reason. There are many benefits to CBD oil, including anxiety relief and pain relief. There are still many misconceptions surrounding CBD oil that need to be dispelled.

We will be dispelling some common misconceptions regarding CBD and revealing the truth about this remarkable compound.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a compound found within cannabis plants. CBD is not psychoactive, unlike its cousin THC. It will not get you high.

Hemp plants are often used to extract CBD. These cannabis plants contain low amounts of THC. Hemp-derived CBD products can be legally obtained in most countries, as they don't contain enough THC for any psychoactive effects.

Let's now understand what CBD is. We will also examine some common misconceptions.

Myth #01: CBD Is Psychoactive

CBD has no psychoactive effects, as we have already mentioned. It will not make you feel high. The psychoactive effects of THC are often countered by CBD. For example, CBD can be used to treat anxiety and paranoia.

Myth #2: CBD Is Addictive

CBD isn't addictive. It may even reduce your addiction. CBD has been shown to be effective in treating addiction in rats.

Myth #03: CBD Is Illegal

CBD is legal in most countries because it doesn't contain enough THC for any psychoactive effects. Hemp-derived CBD products, which do not contain enough THC, are legal in most countries. There are exceptions to this rule, so make sure you check the laws in your area before buying CBD products.

Myth #4: CBD Will Make You High

CBD isn't psychoactive so it won't make you feel high. THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, is responsible for the psychoactive effects. CBD can actually counteract the psychoactive effects of THC such as anxiety and paranoia.
