Common Cannabis Myths That Need to Go Up in Smoke

Separating Fact from Fiction in the Cannabis World

As a trusted dispensary serving communities across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, Altius Dispensary consistently encounters misconceptions about cannabis. Today, we’re clearing the air about one persistent myth that needs debunking.

The Myth: All Cannabis Products Will Get You “High”

This is perhaps one of the most common misconceptions we hear at our Round Lake Beach location. Many first-time visitors to Altius Dispensary believe that all cannabis products will produce intoxicating effects. This simply isn’t true.

Here’s why:

• Cannabis contains numerous compounds called cannabinoids
• THC is the primary compound responsible for psychoactive effects
• CBD and other cannabinoids don’t produce intoxicating effects
• Many products are specifically formulated to be non-intoxicating

Understanding Your Options

At Altius, we offer a wide range of products with varying THC and CBD ratios. Many customers seeking wellness benefits without psychoactive effects can choose from:

• CBD-dominant products
