CBD has become a wellness buzzword, and for good reason. You can now find CBD in everything from skincare and gummies to bath bombs and even personal lubricants. But with all the excitement comes confusion—and plenty of myths.
At MedRoots, we believe in clear, honest conversations about wellness. Since we specialize in plant-based, non-addictive CBD products designed in partnership with medical professionals, we hear many questions from curious first-timers and longtime CBD lovers alike.
Let’s clear the air and unpack some of the most common myths surrounding CBD.
Myth #1: CBD Will Get You High
Let’s start with the big one.
Fact: CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. It doesn’t produce a “high” or cause intoxication. That’s THC’s job—a completely different compound also found in cannabis.
MedRoots products contain hemp-derived CBD that complies with federal regulations, which means they contain less than 0.3% THC, so low that it’s considered non-intoxicating. You can use our suppositories, patches, creams, and gummies without worrying about altered mental states.
Myth #2: All CBD Products Work the Same
Fact: Not all CBD products are created equal, and how you use CBD matters. Different formats offer different benefits, absorption rates, and experiences.
Here’s how some of our most-loved products fit into daily life:
-
CBD Gummies: Great for convenient, on-the-go wellness support with a sweet twist.
-
CBD Transdermal Patches: Provide slow, steady release for all-day support.
-
CBD Suppositories: Offer targeted, fast-absorbing delivery for those who prefer an alternative to oral or topical CBD.
-
CBD Muscle Cream: A topical option that can be incorporated into recovery or wind-down routines.
-
CBD Lubricants: These are available in both oil-based and water-based options for those seeking plant-powered intimacy and comfort.
Everybody is different. We encourage you to explore what works best for your lifestyle and wellness needs.
CBD Myth #3: CBD Works Instantly Like a Painkiller
Fact: While some people do notice quick effects, CBD isn’t designed to be an instant fix, and it definitely shouldn’t be compared to over-the-counter pain relievers or pharmaceuticals. Instead, think of CBD as a daily wellness companion, more like a supplement than a symptom-chaser. It works best as part of a consistent, long-term self-care routine.
At MedRoots, our products are crafted to support comfort and balance as part of a broader approach to wellness. Whether you’re using a transdermal patch for gradual release, a suppository for targeted support, or gummies as part of your evening wind-down, the key is to give your body time to respond and adjust.
We often hear from users who don’t necessarily feel an overwhelming change on day one. However, after a week or two of regular use, they notice subtle shifts in how they feel daily. Those small, cumulative benefits add to a more balanced well-being.
Like any wellness routine—stretching, eating more greens, or taking your daily multivitamin—CBD works best when used consistently and mindfully. MedRoots supports that journey with clean, plant-based, non-addictive options that fit naturally into your lifestyle.
Myth #4: CBD Is Only for People with Health Conditions
Fact: CBD isn’t just for people managing health issues—it’s for anyone interested in a plant-based approach to wellness.
At MedRoots, we work with pelvic health doctors and other professionals looking for non-addictive options to support their patients’ comfort. But we also have plenty of users who simply want to feel more balanced, rested, or in tune with their bodies.
CBD can be a part of anyone's wellness journey, from supporting a better bedtime routine to helping you show up more fully in your daily life.
Myth #5: CBD Is Illegal or Unregulated
Fact: Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal in the United States as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC. That said, not all CBD companies follow the same standards.
At MedRoots, we’re committed to transparency, testing, and quality. We source our ingredients responsibly and work with medical experts to ensure we’re creating effective, trustworthy products that prioritize your safety and comfort.
Myth #6: You Can’t Use CBD with Other Wellness Products
Fact: CBD plays nicely with others. CBD can often be added without conflict if you take daily supplements, practice yoga, or have a skincare routine you love.
Of course, checking in with a healthcare provider is always a good idea—especially if you’re currently on any medications. But many people find that CBD seamlessly fits into their morning, post-workout routines, or even their bedtime wind-down.
