Top Cannabis Myths Debunked

Introduction

Despite growing legalization and acceptance, cannabis is still surrounded by myths and misinformation. At Scarlet Reserve, we see how these misconceptions can create confusion for new and experienced consumers alike. To help bring clarity, we’re addressing some of the most common cannabis myths and setting the record straight.

Myth 1: All Cannabis Gets You “High”

One of the biggest misconceptions is that all cannabis products are psychoactive. In reality, compounds like CBD are non-intoxicating and widely used for relaxation and wellness. Even THCa flower, in its raw form, is non-psychoactive until it’s heated. Not all cannabis experiences are about feeling “high.”

Myth 2: Higher THC Always Means Better Quality

Many people assume that more THC equals better cannabis, but that’s not the case. Quality also comes from terpenes, aroma, and balance. A strain with moderate THC but a rich terpene profile can deliver a more enjoyable and consistent experience than one with very high potency.

Myth 3: Cannabis Is Unsafe Compared to Alcohol

Cannabis has long been compared to alcohol, often unfairly. Research and consumer experiences show that when used responsibly, cannabis carries fewer long-term health risks than alcohol. At Scarlet Reserve, we emphasize education and responsible use so customers can make safe, informed choices.

Myth 4: Legal Cannabis Isn’t Regulated

Some people think legal cannabis is a free-for-all, but the opposite is true. Products sold through licensed dispensaries are subject to strict state regulations and testing. At Scarlet Reserve, every product on our shelves is sourced from trusted brands and comes with verified lab results.

Conclusion

Misinformation about cannabis continues to spread, but education helps consumers make smarter choices. By debunking myths about THC, CBD, safety, and regulation, Scarlet Reserve empowers shoppers to understand the full picture of cannabis.
