Cannabis Strains that are High in CBD

Most cannabis strains on the market are bred for their cannabinoid potency in THC, which is the active part that give a psycho effect. There are 85 active cannabinoids that are known in cannabis and cannabidiol or CBD is growing in popularity for it's high effectiveness for medicinal use without the psycho-active properties.

Treatment with Cannabidiol CBD

Cannabidiol in marijuana is the second most prevalent cannabinoid behind THC. At first it was thought the only benefit of CBD was to counteract the stoned effect that THC gives. However, CBD has been shown in research to give anti-inflammatory, analgesic and lower anxiety without the psycho-active effects that THC gives. These benefits have shown promising results for treatment in crohn's disease, PTSD, multiple sclerosis and a form of epilepsy called Dravet's Syndrome. Strains high in THC are usually at levels of 20% above, where CBD over 4% are known to be in high concentration. The FDA is approving a study this year to look at the effectiveness of CBD in children to hopefully make this a more accessible treatment.(Source)

Many patients are vocal about the importance of THC with CBD for complete effectiveness as a treatment. The government has acquired a patent for the benefits in THC, and research has showed it to help with appetite loss, nausea, multiple sclerosis and pain. Allowing to manage the percentage amount of THC and CBD gives the most effectiveness as well as also having control of how it is consumed. (Source)
