Many people are hearing about CBD or Cannabidiol. CBD has become a topic in mainstream media, so this caused people to become more interested in it. Although more people are talking about, they do not necessarily have the correct information about it. So, it is important for people to educate themselves about the myths and the facts related to CBD use.


Here are a few common CBD myths:


Will CBD get me high?
Some people may think CBD is a drug that will cause them to get high. This is untrue. CBD is not a psychoactive drug and does not have any mind-altering effects. It actually helps many people to feel more energized and creative. Others think it will cause them to feel sedated and cause them to want to sleep all day long. This is not a fact. Many people report feeling clear-headed and it is perfectly fine to use for daytime use. THC is the drug in marijuana that actually causes a high feeling, not CBD.


Is CBD a gateway drug?
Another myth about CBD is it is a gateway drug and it is extremely addictive. Many people think this because of CBD's association with marijuana – another common myth. Due to this, many people are very leery of trying CBD because it is extracted from the marijuana plant. Many scientific studies stress the fact that CBD is not addictive and have found many holes in the idea that CBD is a gateway drug. The World Health Organization has stated CBD is fine for consumption.


Is CBD new?
A large number of people are under the impression that the health benefits of CBD are just now being found out. The truth is our ancestors having used CBD since ancient times. The uses of CBD ranged from religious activities to be used for medicinal purposes. Many people are using CBD to help with anxiety, depression, cancer treatment, epilepsy, and more ailments. 


Is all CBD created equal? 
Some people think that all CBD products are the same. They are definitely not all the same and there are things people should look for before using any CBD products. It is recommended to purchase CBD from vendors who have some form of third-party testing. It is good to know how the CBD is actually distracted. If it is solvent-based, it is best to find out what kind of solvent is used.

The Accidental Phenomenon That Became Strain of the Year
 
Here's something most people don't realize about Super Boof: the name that eventually won Leafly's 2024 Strain of the Year wasn't even the breeder's original choice.
San Diego cultivator Blockhead created this Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies cross as "Blockberry" - a straightforward nod to his breeding handle and the cherry genetics. But as cuts circulated through California's cannabis community, "Super Boof" caught on instead. The internet loves what the internet loves, and sometimes a less refined name just sticks.

        Answered: WTF ... are Penis Envy Mushrooms?
    
    

Are Penis Envy Mushrooms Worth the Hype?
Penis envy mushrooms represent one of the world's most potent and widely used psilocybin mushroom strains. They are considered 2-3 times more potent than other strains of Psilocybe cubensis (cubes) and are mostly used for their therapeutic roles for addiction, mental health disorders, anxiety, and depression.  
The name “Penis envy” originated from the unusual growth pattern of its fruiting body that looks like the penis. Contrary to some common myths about the strains, the name “penis envy” has nothing to do with the male reproductive system.

        Exploring the Sacred Aztec God Mushroom Strain
    
    

Introduction to Psychoactive Mushrooms
Psychoactive mushrooms, also known as hallucinogenic mushrooms, have been revered for centuries across various cultures for their profound spiritual, medicinal, and recreational properties. These remarkable fungi contain psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin and psilocin, which have the power to alter perception, thought, and mood. The use of these mushrooms dates back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures, where they were considered sacred and integral to rituals and ceremonies aimed at communicating with the gods and ancestors. The Aztecs, in particular, held these mushrooms in high esteem, often referring to them as “the flesh of the gods” due to their ability to induce mystical and divine experiences.
What are Aztec God Mushroom strains? 
This is a strain of psychedelic mushrooms commonly harvested in Central America and Southern Mexico. They possess a moderate to average psilocybin potency and have been widely utilized by the Aztecs for religious purposes. They are widely cultivated or harvested for their above-average psilocybin content, which is suitable for beginners and prolonged trips when taken in large doses.
