First Myth

• Myth I have to get high to get help.
• Truth This is completely false.

5

• According to Dr. David Hepburn Of the many
  cannabinoids available only a small few cause the
  stoned effect, THC being the most common one.
  However the vast majority, including the
  medically beneficial CBD, CBG and CBC will not
  cause that same psychoactive effect.

Second Myth

• Myth I dont want to have to smoke medicine.
• Truth There are other methods of administering
  medical cannabis instead of smoking.

7

• Dr. Hepburn explains
• The advent of oil extraction, and the ability to
  provide those oils in capsules, has led to this
  option becoming the most sought after delivery
  mechanism. Many children with conditions ranging
  from epilepsy to autism are treated successfully
  with medical cannabis and none are smoking.
• However, Dr. David Hepburn clarifies that there
  are situations/ conditions where inhalation is
  the best delivery method, such as migraines,
  nausea and some types of spasms and pain. The
  medical means of inhalation is vaporization, not
  smoking.

Third Myth

•  Myth It will make you psychotic.
• Truth False, Cannabis has not been shown to
  cause schizophrenia.

10

• Dr. David Hepburn mentions that it has not been
  proven to cause schizophrenia, In fact, countries
  where cannabis use is prevalent have the same
  incidence of schizophrenia as countries where
  cannabis is nowhere to be found.
• While it can most likely exacerbate and initiate
  first break psychosis in those who are
  genetically predisposed (ie. those who have the
  AKT1 genotype), using cannabis is akin to pouring
  gasoline on a pile of sticks. If there are no
  underlying embers, it will cause no reaction at
  all.
