We often hear that people are sceptical about how CBD strains compare to THC strains when it comes to quality and flavour. Understandably, 10 years ago, when the CBD industry was in its infancy, there was a big gap between CBD and THC genetics. However, there has been so much innovation in creating truly noteworthy CBD strains that stand out since then. The best CBD growers are innovating strains that are completely indistinguishable from THC strains. Beyond the genetics, the facilities putting out these CBD strains are state of the art, using the latest technology and growing techniques. There was a time when CBD flower was lacklustre, but especially in Europe, due to recent legalities, CBD flower is surpassing the quality of THC flower. Our advice is to be careful where you buy your CBD flower, only from reputable sources, to ensure you're getting the good stuff!
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear about CBD is that it's just a "wellness trend" or that it doesn't actually do anything. People either expect it to get them high or think it's totally useless if it doesn't. Both couldn't be further from the truth. What most people don't realize is that CBD works subtly and cumulatively--it's not about instant fireworks, it's about balance. In my own journey healing from chronic pain and burnout, CBD was a game-changer. But I had to learn (the hard way) that quality, dosage, and consistency really matter. Not all CBD is created equal--and if you're using the wrong kind or not giving it time, of course you're going to think it doesn't work. That's exactly why I created Hey Mary Jane. I wanted to offer full-spectrum CBD products that are thoughtfully formulated with other botanicals, so people could actually feel the difference. It's not about chasing a high--it's about coming back to yourself. And when you approach it with the right education and intention, that's exactly what it helps you do.
For so many times, I've always come across that CBD is just a marketing gimmick with no real benefits. Many people assume it's part of a passing trend rather than a legitimate option for improving well-being. From my experience, this misunderstanding comes from a lack of access to reliable information. CBD has been used for generations in natural healing, and its growing popularity isn't just hype, it's because more people are finally discovering how it can support their health. Unlike THC, CBD doesn't cause a high, making it a safe option for those looking to manage stress, discomfort, or sleep issues without unwanted effects. I believe in making alternative medicine more accessible so people can make informed choices about their health. Many individuals miss out on the benefits of medical marijuana and CBD simply because they don't know where to start or fear outdated stigmas. That's why I focus on education and providing easy access to medical marijuana cards, so people can explore natural solutions without confusion or hesitation. Holistic health is about looking at the whole picture, finding what works for each person, and removing unnecessary barriers. When people understand that CBD isn't about trends but about real, lasting relief, they feel more confident in trying it for themselves. The more we promote awareness and accessibility, the more people can take control of their health in a natural and informed way.
One common misconception about CBD is that it produces a "high" similar to THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. This misunderstanding often deters potential users from exploring the benefits of CBD. Based on my experience and research, I can confidently say that CBD is non-psychoactive. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system without altering the mental state. In fact, many users report feeling more relaxed and focused after using CBD, which can help alleviate anxiety and improve overall well-being. To address this misconception, I encourage open conversations and education. Sharing scientific studies and personal testimonials can help demystify CBD. For instance, after incorporating CBD into my wellness routine, I experienced significant relief from stress without any mind-altering effects. By promoting accurate information, we can empower individuals to make informed choices about their health and wellness.
A common misconception about CBD (Cannabidiol) is that it causes a "high" like THC. Many assume CBD has psychoactive effects, but in reality, CBD is non-intoxicating and interacts with the endocannabinoid system differently than THC. It primarily supports stress relief, pain management, and sleep regulation without altering mental clarity. To address this, education is key--CBD products derived from hemp (with <0.3% THC) are legal in most places and do not impair cognitive function. Sharing scientific research, third-party lab testing, and personal testimonials helps demystify CBD and reinforce its benefits for wellness rather than recreation.
