At Cultivate Las Vegas, we’re committed to providing our customers with accurate information about cannabis and its products. With our doors open since 2018, we’ve become a trusted name in the Las Vegas area, known for our unmatched quality and customer service. However, we recognize that there are still many myths and misconceptions surrounding cannabis that need to be addressed. In this blog post, we’ll debunk some common myths about cannabis.
Myth #1: Cannabis is a Gateway Drug
One of the most persistent myths about cannabis is that it serves as a “gateway” to harder and more dangerous drugs. However, numerous studies have debunked this claim. The overwhelming majority of cannabis users do not go on to use harder drugs, and many factors contribute to substance abuse beyond just cannabis use.
Myth #2: Cannabis is Highly Addictive
While it is possible to develop a dependence on cannabis, it is far less addictive than many legal substances, such as nicotine and alcohol. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 10% of cannabis users will become addicted, and withdrawal symptoms are generally mild.
Myth #3: Cannabis Causes Lung Cancer
There is no conclusive evidence linking cannabis smoking to an increased risk of lung cancer. In fact, some studies suggest that compounds found in cannabis may potentially have anti-tumor effects.
