10 Common Myths About CBD (And The Truth Behind Them)
CBD has exploded in popularity across the UK — yet with that growth comes a lot of confusion, misinformation and outdated assumptions. Whether you’re new to CBD or already use it daily, understanding what’s fact and what’s fiction helps you make confident choices about your wellness routine.
Here are the 10 most common myths about CBD — and the real truth behind them.
Myth 1: “CBD Gets You High”
CBD is non-intoxicating. It doesn’t produce a “high” or impair your thinking. That effect comes from THC, a different cannabinoid that is tightly regulated in the UK. All CBD products sold legally in the UK — including our CBD oils and gummies — contain less than 0.2% THC or 0% THC depending on the spectrum.
Myth 2: “CBD Works Instantly for Everyone”
Some people feel the benefits quickly, but for most, CBD works gradually. It builds up in the body over days or weeks as it supports the endocannabinoid system. Consistency matters more than one-off doses.
Myth 3: “More CBD = Better Results”
Higher strength doesn’t always mean better results. CBD is about finding your personal “sweet spot.” Many people benefit from low or moderate doses. Starting low and increasing slowly is the safest and most effective approach.
Myth 4: “CBD Is Addictive”
CBD is not addictive. It doesn’t create chemical dependency or withdrawal symptoms. In fact, some research suggests CBD may help support people managing stress-related habits.
Myth 5: “All CBD Products Are the Same”
Quality varies dramatically. Differences in extraction, sourcing, strength, testing, and formulas all impact how a product works. This is why we only stock trusted, lab-tested brands like SOOL, Reakiro and Orange County CBD.
Myth 6: “CBD Is Illegal in the UK”
CBD is fully legal in the UK as long as it meets strict regulations — including being derived from approved hemp strains and containing less than 0.2% THC. All products at Natural Euphoria comply with UK Food Standards Agency rules.
Myth 7: “CBD Will Make You Sleepy During the Day”
CBD itself is not sedating. It helps regulate stress and support balance, which may help you sleep better at night — but most people feel calm, not drowsy, during the day. Feeling overly sleepy usually means the dose is slightly too high.
Myth 8: “CBD Is Only for People With Health Conditions”
Many people take CBD simply for everyday wellness — for calm, focus, balance, better sleep or post-workout recovery. You don’t need a specific issue to benefit from CBD.
Myth 9: “CBD Gummies & Edibles Don’t Work”
Edibles work — they just work differently. Gummies, chocolates and drinks take longer to absorb because they pass through digestion, but they offer longer-lasting effects. They’re ideal for steady support throughout the day. Explore our CBD Gummies and edibles range.
Myth 10: “You Can’t Take CBD Every Day”
You can — and most people should. Daily, consistent use supports your endocannabinoid system and helps CBD work more effectively. Many users take CBD morning and evening or microdose throughout the day.
The Truth: CBD Is a Personal Journey
No two people experience CBD in exactly the same way. Your perfect dose, timing, and product type depend on your lifestyle and goals. The key is to choose high-quality, lab-tested products and give your body time to respond.
