Separating Fact from Fiction in Cannabis Education

As a trusted voice in the New Jersey cannabis community, New Era Dispensary feels it’s important to address some persistent myths that continue to circulate about cannabis consumption and dispensaries. Let’s clear the air about one particularly stubborn misconception.

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

This is perhaps one of the most common misunderstandings we encounter at our locations throughout New Jersey. Many first-time visitors to our dispensaries in Bridgewater, Edison, and other locations express concern about the psychoactive effects of all cannabis products.

The Reality:

Not all cannabis products produce intoxicating effects. In fact, many therapeutic compounds in cannabis, such as CBD, have no psychoactive properties whatsoever. Here’s what you need to know:

• CBD products derived from hemp contain minimal to no THC
• Many topical products don’t enter the bloodstream
• Different strains and products serve different purposes
• Medical products can be formulated to minimize psychoactive effects

Understanding this distinction is crucial for both recreational and medical cannabis users. At New Era Dispensary, our trained staff can help explain the differences between various products and their effects, ensuring you make informed decisions about your cannabis use.

Why This Matters

This understanding is particularly important for:
• First-time cannabis users
• Medical patients seeking specific benefits
• Seniors exploring cannabis options
• People who want to avoid psychoactive effects

We believe education is key to responsible cannabis use. Visit any of our locations in Franklin Township, North Plainfield, Piscataway, or South Bound Brook to learn more about our products and speak with knowledgeable staff who can guide you toward the right options for your needs.

Remember, whether you’re new to cannabis or an experienced user, staying informed about what you’re consuming is essential for a safe and positive experience.
