Myth №1: CBD Will Get You High 

The compound that causes a 'high' effect is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is an infamous cannabinoid also extracted from hemp. Even though CBD infused products may contain THC components, small concentrations won't cause euphoria or intoxication. However, before purchasing, each customer needs to check allowed THC quantities in composition while learning whether you will face a psychoactive effect.

Unlike THC, CBD is a non-psychotropic and safe compound that won't change a person's state of mind after intake.

Myth №2: CBD Is Illegal

Nowadays, there are two primary ingredients delivered from the cannabis plant: CBD and THC. Many people confuse these concepts, which has resulted in the myths that CBD is entirely illegal.

Since THC is considered a psychoactive component, the UK government has established amount limits of up to 0.2% of THC in CBD products and up to 0.3% in the USA. If CBD products contain THC levels over this percentage, they are forbidden for selling and purchasing.

Myth №3: Isolated CBD Is More Beneficial 

CBD can be produced by different methods of extractionto receive final CBD infused products.

In CBD isolate, the CBD component is the only active compound of the product without the addition of other cannabinoids.

The full-spectrum of whole plant extracts products include all cannabinoids from the Cannabis plant with permitted amounts of THC. The full-spectrum goods are also rich in terpenes and flavonoids that possess therapeutic properties and give cannabis-specific scent and taste. CBD mix with other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids can increase therapeutic potential due to active teamwork known as "entourage effect". 

In broad-spectrum CBD, there is a variety of different cannabinoids without THC traces.

Broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD products provide advantages of most or all cannabinoids to achieve a more beneficial and potent effect from CBD use unlike isolated CBD, which ensures only cannabidiol benefits.

Myth №4: CBD Is Addictive

CBD is a non-addictive compound as CBD products contain very low concentrations of THC or fully THC-free and can't cause cannabis to be addictive in consumers. Such small doses of THC are just not enough to carry any addiction risk.

Myth №5: CBD Cures Any Medical Condition

Despite various research and constant studies that show the potential advantages of CBD, there is still much to learn about this compound and how it influences people with different ailments and imbalances.

While many people use CBD as a supplement and experience its benefits, it's important to remember that CBD based products can't diagnose, prevent, or cure disorders. Until scientists have sufficient evidence to prove the contrary, CBD can't be considered as a medical treatment to treat or prevent diseases.

Myth №6: Immediate Results After CBD Consumption

Similarly to common pills, food or dietary supplements, the period of appearance of first positive effects depends on the person and the method of consumption, as well as body weight, CBD concentration, individual metabolism and severity of the disorder.

If CBD oil drops are taken by putting oil under the tongue, CBD will enter the system quicker. Inhaling CBD juicefrom vape pens allows us to eliminate the digestion process and provides the most fast-acting results. However, capsules or CBD based food needs to be digested, which takes a much longer time.

It's advised to try out different available ways of CBD consumption and forms of CBD products to find the right method that suits your preferences and body needs.

Myth №7: The Higher CBD Dosage - The Better 

More often seems better yet this doesn't apply to CBD dose. CBD dosage is the crucial point in treatment. All CBD products come in various concentrations and strengths to fulfil the needs of each customer. However, it's always recommended to start with small amounts of CBD and gradually increase it to find your ideal dosage. Also, consistent CBD intake for a specific period can help to recognize a suitable dosage. 

Myth №8: CBD Is Banned In Professional Sport

CBD treatment is reaching a larger audience every day, as well as professional athletes, such as rugby players, runners, golfers, MMA fighters, bodybuilders, and many other athletes.

The CBD popularity in sport has recently increased mostly due to the decision made in 2018 by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to remove cannabidiol from a list of the banned substances. Professional athletes can consume CBD products with allowed amounts of THC without risks of penalties, positive results after drug tests, or disqualification from the sports contest.

Final Thoughts

Cannabidiol is a natural and effective remedy that possesses a vast amount of useful properties. It's commonly used to reduce muscle soreness, regulate sleep or help to cope with anxiety. CBD consumption won't cause a 'high' effect, severe side effects or addiction. Nevertheless, online resources may often leave you with unproven information and obscure facts. This encourages customers to do research and consult your doctor prior to using CBD.

CBD won't prevent your disorders, but it can help to alleviate symptoms and reduce painful discomfort. CBD treatment can take from a few weeks to several months depending on diagnosed diseases, interaction with other medicaments, chosen CBD concentration and method of intake.

Awareness about the pros and cons of CBD is essential for every potential customer. Don't forget to be consistent with your CBD dosage, patient with first improvements and let this useful component provide you with better living.
