Myths and Facts about CBD

Myth: CBD gets you high

Fact: CBD improves mood, but it is not psychoactive

CBD is not impairing, meaning it does not cause a “high.” CBD can be derived from hemp or from non-hemp plants. Hemp is defined as any part of the cannabis sativa plant with no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the mind-altering substance in marijuana.

Myth: CBD is just a con

Fact: CBD contains active ingredients

Studies suggest, that CBD can also be a potential treatment for anxiety disorders, it is a strong anti-oxidant and poses anti-inflammatory properties, even cardiovascular system could be a therapeutic target for CBD. From all the available data, we can conclude, that CBD is not a scam.

Myth: All CBD products get the same results

Fact: Every CBD product is different

The amount of CBD in the product you buy, as well as its potency, depends on who made the product. Since you only get therapeutic results by taking the right dose, you can’t be sure what health benefits you may or may not get from the products available on the market.

What can I buy at a Dispensary?


In each transaction, dispensaries are allowed to sell up to the equivalent of 28.35 grams or 1 ounce of usable cannabis. That means up to:

  • 28.35 grams (1 ounce) of dried flower, or
  • 4 grams of solid cannabis concentrates or resin, or the equivalant of 4 grams of concentrate in liquid form (solution in milliliters), or
  • 4 grams of vaporized formulations (oil), or
  • 1000 mg of multiple ingestible cannabis-infused products (10 100 mg packages) like gummies

A purchase of a combination of products may be 1/2 ounce of dried flower plus 2 grams of concentrate, or 5 packages of gummies and 1/2 ounce of dried flower.

Legally allowable product categories include dried flower, concentrated oils, resin, vape formulas, tinctures, topicals, syringes, lozenges, and soft chews, but availability will vary by dispensary. Perishable edibles like cookies and brownies are not available for purchase from any dispensary.

Equivalency is based on total weight of the product sold. For products containing both THC and CBD, equivalency is based on the total weight of the concentrate. For example, a product containing 400 mg of CBD and 100 mg of THC, total weight is 500 mg or 0.5 grams.

Reminder: The law allows adults 21 years and older to be in possession of 1 ounce total of cannabis and cannabis products.
