As more experts turn their time and attention to raising the standards across the industry, cannabis is evolving and improving every day. Clinical research continues, more states are legalizing cannabis for recreational purposes, and things are changing for the better.
Before we dive into the basics of what cannabis is, let’s look at what it’s not.
- Cannabis make you lazy. Nope. The lazy stoner stereotype is not an accurate description of everyone who partakes in cannabis—and it’s not an accurate description of how every type of cannabis product makes you feel. Sure, some cannabis products can help you relax, but there are also options that boost energy, creativity, and improve focus.
- Cannabis kills brain cells. Actually, no. Using cannabis does not kill brain cells. Heavy use over a long period of time might affect cognitive function, but it’s not permanent or as severe as people may have been led to believe.
- Cannabis has no real medical value. Absolutely not true. Many scientific studies and real patient experiences support the medical use of cannabis. In fact, it’s relied on by people with chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, cancer-related nausea, and more.
- Cannabis is a gateway drug. There’s actually no proof that using cannabis leads directly to the use of more potent drugs.
- You already know how cannabis makes you feel. Many people who have tried cannabis once or twice think that they will have the same experience every time they use it. However, different cannabis strains [LINK TO: BLOG POST – WHAT ARE THE STRAINS OF CANNABIS] deliver different effects. Understanding these differences and how dosing works [LINK TO: BLOG POST – YOUR GUIDE TO THC DOSAGE] can help you find the product that’s right for you.
- Potency is all that matters in a cannabis product. Potency refers to the level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in a product. THC is what gives cannabis its psychoactive power. While some people are on the hunt for the product with the most THC, they’re missing out on the full spectrum of what cannabis has to offer.
With an abundance of strains featuring their own tastes, aromas, and effects, today’s cannabis connoisseurs are exploring a complex, rich world brimming with distinct experiences.
Cannabis is about much more than getting high—it’s about making daily life better.
