Debunking the Myth That All Cannabis Makes You Feel High
At Star Life Dispensary, we frequently encounter customers who express concerns about trying cannabis products because they believe every cannabis product will produce an intense psychoactive experience. This is one of the most persistent misconceptions in the cannabis industry, and today we’d like to set the record straight.
Understanding Cannabis Compounds
Cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids, each with different effects on the human body. The two most well-known are:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): This is the psychoactive compound responsible for the “high” sensation.
- CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive and often used for potential therapeutic benefits without intoxicating effects.
CBD Products: Experience Without the High
Many of our products at Star Life Dispensary contain primarily CBD with minimal or no THC. These include:
- CBD oils and tinctures
- CBD topicals for localized relief
- Hemp-derived CBD products (containing less than 0.3% THC)
- CBD-dominant flower strains
These products allow users to explore potential benefits of cannabis without experiencing psychoactive effects.
Low-THC Options
For those who want to experiment with minimal psychoactive effects, we offer products with balanced or low THC-to-CBD ratios. These products may produce mild effects that many users describe as subtle and functional rather than overwhelming.
Different Consumption Methods Affect Your Experience
How you consume cannabis also influences the intensity of effects:
- Topicals: Applied to skin, these rarely produce psychoactive effects even when containing THC
- Microdosing: Taking very small amounts of THC can provide subtle effects without strong intoxication
- Tinctures: Allow for precise dosing to control effects
Individual Factors Matter
Everyone’s endocannabinoid system responds differently to cannabis. Factors affecting your experience include:
- Body chemistry
- Tolerance levels
- Metabolism
- Product potency

At Star Life Dispensary, we prioritize education and responsible consumption. Our staff is trained to help customers find products aligned with their desired effects and comfort levels.
Understanding that not all cannabis products cause intoxication opens the door for more people to explore potential benefits for wellness without unwanted psychoactive effects.
