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.

Golden Teacher Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know

Golden Teacher mushrooms (GT Mushrooms) are one of the most popular strains of psilocybin mushrooms. They are mostly cultivated for their above-average psilocybin potency, which serves as a beginner's gateway to psychedelic mushrooms. They feature caramel-colored stems and caps speckled with yellow hence the name Golden Teacher. 

These psychedelic mushroom strains are also known as golden caps, boomers, goldies, caps, and cubies. While the information on their origin is quite unknown or undocumented, anecdotal reference shows that the golden teacher mushrooms were first reported in a scientific literature in 1906 in Cuba, while research on the strains is most likely to have started in the early eighties.

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.
