Setting the Record Straight: Not All Cannabis Products Get You “High”
At Root 9 Dispensary, we frequently encounter customers who are hesitant to try cannabis products because they’re concerned about experiencing intense psychoactive effects. This is perhaps one of the most persistent myths in the cannabis industry, and today, we’re going to debunk it once and for all.
Understanding the Cannabis Spectrum
Cannabis contains over 100 different cannabinoids, but the two most well-known are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). While THC is indeed responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis, CBD is non-intoxicating and won’t produce those psychoactive effects many people are concerned about.
Types of Cannabis Products That Won’t Get You “High”
- CBD-Dominant Products: These contain minimal THC and high levels of CBD, offering potential therapeutic benefits without intoxication.
- Hemp-Derived CBD: Legally required to contain less than 0.3% THC, these products don’t cause psychoactive effects.
- Topicals: Even when they contain THC, cannabis-infused creams, balms, and lotions typically don’t enter the bloodstream in sufficient quantities to cause psychoactive effects.
- Microdose Products: These contain very small amounts of THC, designed to provide benefits without noticeable intoxication.
Benefits Beyond the “High”
Many people use cannabis products not for recreational purposes but for potential wellness benefits including:
- Stress management
- Sleep support
- Physical discomfort relief
- Relaxation without intoxication
