The CBD industry is booming, and CBD products have already made their way to millions of Americans' self-care routines. As the interest in cannabis compounds keeps increasing, myths and misconceptions about CBD keep spreading. At Primabee, we want our customers to be well-informed and make confident decisions, so we've decided to shed light on the 7 most common misconceptions we've heard about CBD.

1. CBD Gets You High

CBD is a cannabis compound that is now legal to consume. Hearing the words cannabis and legal in the same sentence has made many people believe CBD is a legal alternative to marijuana and will get consumers high. 

Unfortunately, CBD won't make you feel the same way as marijuana to those looking for a feeling of euphoria and mind-altering symptoms. The reason marijuana produces such effects is due to its psychoactive compound – THC. CBD on the market derives from marijuana's cousin plant with a very low THC and high CBD content; therefore, it doesn't get users high. 

2. CBD Makes You Sleepy

CBD doesn't make you sleepy, dizzy, or tired. Sleepiness is commonly associated with THC – the psychoactive compound in cannabis. CBD products contain only trace amounts of THC, so they don't cause daytime sleepiness. The good news for those who wish to take CBD for a better night's sleep – many brands on the market have paired up CBD with melatonin that will indeed make you fall asleep easier.

3. CBD will Make You Fail a Drug Test

Because employers and different sports organizations might test you for using marijuana, many now wonder if CBD can be a reason for failed drug tests and undesired consequences. Drug tests are screening for THC – the psychoactive compound in cannabis, not CBD; therefore, taking CBD shouldn't cause any problems. However, it's possible to receive false-positive test results if you consume mislabeled CBD products that contain more than the legal amount of THC. To ensure CBD doesn't interfere with your drug test results, use products from reputable and trusted retailers that offer third-party lab test results confirming the low THC content in the bottle.

4. All CBD Products are the Same

CBD is now everywhere, and different product types can get anyone confused. Newcomers may feel overpowered to browse through so many options and may conclude all CBD products are the same so that they can grab one without much thinking. However, CBD products differ in their administration methods, potencies, flavor, quality, price, and the results they drive. 

Tinctures are administered sublingually and provide faster results due to the sublingual blood vessels allowing CBD to travel to the bloodstream quicker. Softgels are easy to swallow, but it may take longer to see the results as the compound will need to go through the digestive system before making it to the bloodstream. Edibles are fun to consume and provide delicious flavors, but similarly to softgels may take longer to affect your body. Topicals are for those who wish to apply CBD directly to their skin and joints.

5. CBD doesn't Work for Everyone

Many skeptics out there may claim they've tried CBD, but it's not for them, or they've not seen any results from it. Although these claims can be valid, it doesn't mean that CBD doesn't work for everyone. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoids system in the human body consisting of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids, that play a vital role in its functioning and responses. Someone might not see any effects from taking CBD because there's no one universal dosage of the compound to take. How much CBD to consume to see its results depends on numerous factors, including body chemistry, weight, or health conditions. 

6. All CBD is Created Equally

Buying CBD in 2021 is super easy – it's everywhere, and it's easy to conclude every brand uses the identical CBD to produce its products. Every brand uses a different quality CBD some of which may come from low-grade impure hemp. The growing practice of hemp significantly affects the quality of CBD, and some manufacturers cut production costs by using imported hemp from countries without strict farming regulations. Such products may contain unwanted ingredients and can be detrimental to your health. 

7. All CBD Products are Safe

Although it's safe to consume CBD daily, as mentioned above, not all CBD is created equally, and some may contain unwanted ingredients. Because of such high demand for CBD products, new CBD retailers appear daily, and it becomes tough to differentiate low-grade products from safe ones. Some may feature high THC content (more than .3%) or unwanted ingredients such as heavy metals, pesticides, or residual solvents that can harm consumers' health. Not all CBD products are safe, and to ensure that you are getting a high-quality product, always look for third-party lab test results. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) demonstrates the content of a product and is how brands can prove the quality of their products.
