5 Myths About CBD and Cannabis That People Still Believe

Cannabis and CBD are hot topics these days, and almost everyone has heard of them. Yet, despite their growing popularity, there’s still a lot of misinformation floating around.

1️⃣ CBD gets you “high” just like THC

One of the most widespread myths. But here’s the simple truth: CBD is not psychoactive.
Unlike THC, CBD won’t get you high, won’t alter your consciousness, and won’t affect your coordination. Instead, it helps calm the nervous system, support recovery, and reduce anxiety — all without the “high” effect. So no worries: you can take CBD before work or during a stressful day without any problem.

2️⃣ Cannabis is just a drug

Cannabis is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. For thousands of years, it’s been used to make textiles, food, medicine, and paper. Yes, some strains are high in THC, but today we’re mostly talking about industrial hemp and CBD, which are legal and non-addictive. Cannabis today is seen as both a superfood and a natural aid — it’s definitely not just a “drug.”

3️⃣ CBD and hemp products are illegal

CBD products made from legal industrial hemp are allowed in most European countries (including the Czech Republic).
The key point: they must contain less than 0.3% THC (in the Czech Republic) and can’t be marketed as medicine unless officially registered. At Euphoria, we take this seriously — our products meet all legal requirements, so you can enjoy them without worry.

4️⃣ Hemp products are addictive

Another common misconception. CBD is not addictive.
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), CBD has no potential for abuse or dependence. In fact, some studies suggest it may help people overcome other addictions (like nicotine). The myth of addiction likely comes from associating cannabis with THC, but CBD is a completely different story.

5️⃣ CBD is just placebo and doesn’t work

While the hype around CBD sometimes feels like it’s being called a miracle cure, science backs up real effects — especially for inflammation, pain, anxiety, insomnia, and recovery. Of course, it’s no magic bullet, and it works differently for everyone. But it’s definitely not just a trendy placebo.

CBD and cannabis deserve to be seen without outdated prejudices. They’re natural tools that can help us live better, calmer, and healthier lives — if we know what to expect and how to use them properly.
