Cannabis, Answered Without the Judgment.
The questions I get asked most, answered plainly — from nearly twenty years of teaching real people. No hype, no fear, no shame in asking.
These come straight from Shannon — nearly two decades in cannabis, more than 30,000 medical cannabis patients, over 1,000 industry professionals, and hundreds of students taught. She's not a doctor, and this is education, not medical advice. But you're getting real answers from someone who has actually done the work.
Everything here is for education and enjoyment, never medical or legal advice. Cannabis is different for everybody, so if you take medications or have a health condition, check in with a professional you trust.
The Basics
THC is the cannabinoid that gets you high. CBD does not. It works with your body differently, and most people describe it as relaxing without the intoxication. Both come from the same plant, and a lot of products blend them. If you're nervous about feeling altered, CBD is a comfortable place to start.
