1. Marijuana can cure cancer


 Marijuana has been used medicinally for thousands of years. In fact, marijuana was one of the first drugs ever discovered and it’s believed that the earliest known written documentation regarding its medicinal use dates back over 5000 years ago. There are many different strains of marijuana and each strain has its own therapeutic properties, but they all have one thing in common – they’re not going to cure cancer!

 2. Smoking pot makes you stupid

 This myth actually comes from a time before we knew anything about THC and CBD, when people would smoke weed just for the “high” alone. High doses of THC do make you feel like you’re smarter than usual, but smoking too much of it can cause paranoia and even hallucinations. People who think this way might find themselves having trouble holding down jobs or paying attention in school.

 3. You can overdose on marijuana

 You may have heard of someone taking too much weed and then dying, but usually these stories aren’t true. While it is possible to overdose on THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), it takes at least 10 times the recommended dose to kill an adult human being. Even if you did somehow manage to OD on THC, your body would still produce enough enzymes to break it down into inactive compounds.

 3. You cannot overdose on weed

 This is another common misconception about cannabis. Many think that they can overdose if they consume too much of it. However, this is not true. Studies show that the lethal dose of THC is around 15 grams. That means that if you were to smoke 15 joints, you would die.
