Frequently Asked Questions

Are CBD and THC the same thing?

No. THC is psychoactive (creates a “high”), while CBD is non-psychoactive and often used for relaxation or pain relief. Both interact with the body differently and have distinct wellness applications.

Does cannabis cause schizophrenia or other mental health issues?

Cannabis does not directly cause schizophrenia. However, heavy use may exacerbate symptoms in those predisposed to psychosis. Moderation and medical guidance are key for at-risk individuals.

Is it safe to drive after using cannabis?

No. Cannabis can impair reaction time and judgment. Driving under the influence increases accident risk, similar to alcohol. Wait several hours or use caution, especially with edibles.

Is medical cannabis just an excuse for recreational use?

No. Medical cannabis is backed by research for conditions like chronic pain, crohn’s disease, epilepsy, and nausea from chemotherapy. It’s prescribed in controlled doses for therapeutic benefits.

Are edibles safer than smoking cannabis?

Edibles avoid lung irritation but pose unique risks due to delayed effects (30 mins–2 hours), leading some to overconsume. Start with low doses (5–10mg THC) and wait patiently.

Does cannabis kill brain cells?

This myth stems from outdated studies. Modern research shows no evidence of brain cell death. However, heavy adolescent use may impact brain development, emphasizing the importance of age-restricted use.
