Bursting the CBD Bubble: Some Common Myths About CBD, the Wonder Compound

December 11, 2014

With CBD making major headlines for its life-changing effects, it is no surprise that a lot of people are clamoring for it.  It would seem to be a good thing – all this attention on a compound which science has just recently discovered to have significant medical potential with wide spread applications.

Trouble is, novices to cannabis therapeutics seem to think this is something new to cannabis. And rather than legitimating that cannabis has great medical value, legislators want to divorce CBD from the plant without understanding how it works and ignoring decades of research on THC, which has a proven track record for helping people with life-threatening and chronic conditions.

According to Constance Finley of Constance Pure Botanical Extracts, she and her staff field inquiries everyday from people looking for CBD, only to find that it’s not quite what they expected.

Everyday we receive multiple requests for CBD from people who have cancer.  They experience immense relief that they have found us who have been raising CBD and making cannabis oil as high as 70% in CBD for several years.  And then we have to tell them that the confusion on the web, the get quick rich schemes of carpetbaggers coming into what they hope is the fast money of cannabis oil and mistakes repeated as facts so many times that the mistakes develop “legs” and respectability from repetition.  I, who raised CBD and made CBD rich oil before anyone I knew, am too often in the position of explaining to cannabis novices that their understanding of cannabis therapeutics is quite flawed.

Here are the top three myths about CBD that they have encountered:

Myth #1:  CBD is what most people seeking cannabis therapeutics need.

Myth #2:  CBD is the main cancer-fighting compound in cannabis

Myth #3:  CBD is not psychoactive.

Read here to find out why these are myths and what the research says about CBD.
