Myth 1: Cannabis is a gateway drug Some people claim that using cannabis leads to using harder drugs. This is just not true.

Myth 2: Cannabis doesn’t kill brain cells. In fact, some studies suggest that compounds in cannabis, like CBD, may even have neuroprotective properties.

What type of high will I get from Cannabis?

Myth 6: All cannabis gets you high but not all cannabis is created equally. There are different strains and products with varying levels of THC and CBD.

So if you’re looking for the medicinal properties without the high, consider trying CBD-rich products.
