Common Misconceptions About CBD And Why They’re Wrong

Are you scared that using CBD will get you high or make you fail a drug test? We’re here to tell you that’s not true and why! CBD has a lot of misconceptions about what it is and what it does, but we’re going to tell you the truth. 

Common Misconception #1: I can get high from CBD. 

False! Marijuana comes from a type of cannabis plant that contains CBD and THC, and CBD comes from that one part of the plant. While CBD is a chemical that’s part of the cannabis plant, it’s possible to get THC-free CBD. Our Miralon products are THC free because our CBD products come from hemp plants. Other CBD companies might use a mix of the cannabis and hemp plants, so their products can contain THC. It’s why it’s important to read about the product before buying, and why our products have a QR code so our consumers can track their products from seed to bottle. 

Common Misconception #2: I can fail a drug test from ingesting CBD. 

Another common misconception, besides getting high from CBD, is failing a drug test. The short answer is it depends. The long answer has a lot of factors that need to be considered. First, you have to assess what CBD product you’re using. If you’re using one that contains THC, then you’re more likely to fail a drug test. If you’re using a CBD that’s THC free, you’re less likely to fail.

The next factor to consider is the lab and the test itself. Most labs only search for the THC cannabinoid since it’s the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Other labs will check for the spectrum of cannabinoids. And depending on the sensitivity and testing methods, results could come back positive. At the end of the day, it depends on the testing standards of the lab administering the drug test. Miralon products are THC free but may have non-detectable trace elements of THC.

Common Misconception #3: CBD is illegal.

Also wrong! The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 allowed businesses to start marketing CBD products and legalized the farming of industrial hemp as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. In short, CBD is legal in all 50 states. It’s why checking that the CBD company you’re buying from is certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority, like us! Our accreditation with the U.S. Hemp Authority reassures our customers that our hemp products are safe and we follow the best practices. 

Common Misconceptions #4: CBD is taken only when needed.

Just like with any preventative medicine, it’s best to take it consistently to see results. For maximum results, we recommend combining ingestible and topical Miralon CBD products. The ingestible product helps work from the inside out and provides long-lasting benefits while the topicals work from the outside in and provide immediate relief. 

When you take your Miralon product is up to you! Since our products can be used for mood support/calming effect or to help with sleep, Miralon CBD products can be taken any time day or night. It may help promote better sleep, so some consumers take it before bedtime. Other consumers have reported that they have felt the maximum benefits by taking one dose of Miralon in the morning and one-two doses before bedtime.
