The hemp and CBD industry has grown rapidly in recent years, but with that growth has come a lot of misinformation. Whether you’re new to hemp products or already a user, you’ve probably heard some things that just aren’t true.

It’s time to clear up the confusion. Let’s break down five of the most common myths about hemp and CBD—and explain why they simply don’t hold up.

Myth #1: Hemp and Marijuana Are the Same Thing

One of the most common misconceptions is that hemp and marijuana are identical. While both come from the cannabis plant family, they are very different in composition. Hemp contains very low levels of THC (the compound that causes a high), while marijuana is bred to have much higher THC content.

The truth: Hemp won’t get you high and is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Myth #2: All Hemp Products Will Make You Feel the Same

Not all hemp products work the same way. For example, a vape cart delivers quick effects through inhalation, while gummies take longer but last longer in your system. Pre-rolls, disposables, flowers—each type has a different delivery method, strength, and user experience.

The truth: Your experience depends on the type of product, dosage, and your own body.

Myth #3: Hemp Has No Real Health Benefits

Some people still think hemp is just a trend with no real purpose. But research and user experiences tell a different story. Many people report better sleep, reduced anxiety, pain relief, and overall wellness support from regular hemp use.

The truth: While more studies are ongoing, hemp has already shown promising results for real health benefits.

Myth #4: You Can’t Trust Online Hemp Stores

It’s understandable to be cautious when shopping online—but not all online hemp retailers are the same. Reputable companies provide third-party lab testing (COAs), clear product descriptions, and great customer service.

The truth: You can trust online hemp stores that are transparent and quality-focused, like Viva La Hemp.

Myth #5: More Is Always Better

When it comes to hemp and CBD, taking a larger dose doesn’t always mean better results. In fact, finding the right balance for your body is key. Start low, go slow, and monitor how you feel.

The truth: Quality, not quantity, matters more in your wellness journey.
