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.

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

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.
