In recent years, CBD has gone from niche curiosity to mainstream must-have. From stress relief to improved sleep, CBD seems to be everywhere — in skincare, supplements, teas, and even water. Yet despite its popularity, one of the most common questions we still hear as the scientists of eQuivex aQua is: “Does CBD get you high?”
The simple answer is no. But let’s dig into that, especially if you’re someone who’s curious about trying CBD for the first time or concerned about its effects. There’s a lot of confusion out there, and we believe it’s our responsibility as a wellness company to clear things up and empower you to make informed, confident decisions.
The Confusion: CBD vs THC
Cannabis is a plant full of compounds, and two of the most well-known are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). While they come from the same plant family, their effects on the body couldn’t be more different.
THC is the compound responsible for the “high” feeling. It interacts directly with receptors in the brain that influence mood, perception, and coordination. When someone consumes THC, it binds to the CB1 receptors in the brain, triggering a psychoactive effect.
CBD, however, doesn’t do this. Although it also interacts with your endocannabinoid system — a powerful network that helps regulate sleep, immune response, mood, and more — it doesn’t have the same binding effect on those brain receptors.
This distinction is crucial. And it’s why products like eQuivex aQua, our CBD-infused water, are completely non-intoxicating and safe for daily use.
The Science Behind CBD’s Calm
Let’s give you a glimpse behind the curtain.
As we work at the intersection of biotech and wellness through Cape Sativa and our parent company, 3Sixty Global Solutions Group, we’ve had the privilege of working with leading researchers in CBD innovation. What we’ve learned is that CBD helps the body reach homeostasis — a fancy term for balance.
Rather than disrupting your mental state (as THC does), CBD promotes calm, clarity, and recovery. It works with your body rather than against it. That’s what makes it so powerful for individuals dealing with:
- Everyday stress and anxiety
- Mild pain and inflammation
- Restlessness and sleep difficulties
THC-Free, Worry-Free
Let’s address one more concern: Can there be any THC in CBD products?
In many products on the market, the answer is yes — even in trace amounts. That’s why we’ve made it a mission to create a pure, THC-free CBD water that delivers all the benefits without any of the risk.
Using our patented Nano Technology Platform, we create water-soluble CBD particles that your body can absorb quickly and efficiently. It’s not just a drink — it’s a delivery system for wellness. You get great results, maximum benefit, and total peace of mind.
We test every batch, verify every ingredient, and remain transparent about every step of our process.
Who Is CBD For?
If you think CBD is only for people with chronic illness or elite athletes, think again.
We designed eQuivex aQua for people like you — busy professionals, parents, students, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone who just wants to feel better in their body.
If you’ve ever said:
- “I need to calm my mind before bed.”
- “My muscles feel tight and sore after workouts.”
- “I get anxious before meetings or tests.”
Then CBD can likely help you. And you can be confident knowing that it won’t change your state of mind or affect your ability to perform.
Debunking More CBD Myths
It’s amazing how many myths still surround CBD. Let’s take a moment to tackle a few.
- Myth #1: CBD is addictive
Truth: CBD is not addictive. In fact, the World Health Organisation (WHO) concluded that CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. - Myth #2: CBD shows up on drug tests
Truth: Pure CBD will not show up on drug tests. However, low-quality products containing trace THC might. That’s why sourcing from trusted brands like eQuivex aQua matters. - Myth #3: CBD works the same for everyone
Truth: Like any supplement, CBD can work differently depending on your body, lifestyle, and needs. However, most people notice calming and pain-relieving effects with consistent use.
