You’ve probably seen endless blog posts promoting the benefits of medical marijuana, cannabis extracts, and overwhelmingly positive news articles. While I am a huge fan of cannabis legalization and normalization within society, we have to face the fact that we still live in a world with societal issues.

They'll say things like marijuana is the "devil's lettuce," a "gateway drug," or "makes you stupid." They couldn't be further from the truth, and the reality is no one has ever died from a marijuana overdose.

What’s the difference between CBD Oil and Hemp Oil?

Coffee consumption is increasing within all age groups, and it’s the primary source of caffeine for the average person.

Current situation:

In the recent past the popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) has grown in leaps and bounds. In just a short period of time, this cannabis extract has been shown to have a number of health benefits.

A lot of people disregard marijuana, weed, pot, reefer, etc. as a gateway drug. I believe it can be depending on the person, as it was in my case. Trying any substance can easily lead to curiosity of other substances. I smoked marijuana for the first time my freshman year in high school. I fell in love with the effects of being high. I got to the point to where I would skip class to get high with friends. My senior year I would smoke marijuana every night before bed. I noticed I would be extremely sleepy and groggy the next morning. I would fall asleep during class and get in trouble. Marijuana would make me lazy, tired, and unproductive. I told myself I would never try any other drug, especially meth or heroin. Marijuana would lead me to curiosity of other substances later on.

Marijuana? The cure or the enemy?

Weed is the most consumed substance all around the world and it's also the most readily available. However, this doesn't change the fact that most people still believe in some of the myths regarding cannabis. Here we will debunk the most popular ones and go over some facts.

Smoking marijuana does not seem natural to many people because it has not been a legal substance for very long. It is still illegal in most states, so some individuals may just now be learning the side effects of the drug and wanting to know the symptoms of being high on marijuana. How do you know if you’re high and if you have smoked enough to get high? Drug abuse is a real problem, so knowing the side effects and being aware of these symptoms is important in order to smoke weed responsibly.
