CA - New Medical Marijuana Strain High In CBD (Cannabidiol) Strips Away The Buzz (April, 2010)

A new strain of cannabis that contains low amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and high amounts of CBD (cannabidiol) allows patients to attain significant relief from illness while reducing intoxication. CBD has also been shown to slow, stop, and sometimes reverse the growth of tumors.

what does cbd exactly do?

[beta447]

@crallex It has anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumoral effects. And probably other good stuff Pfizer doesn't want you to know.

One common misconception about CBD weed like Harlequin, Trident, and Omrita rx3 is that it

"doesnt get you high". This is absolutely untrue, I am a new medical patient and tried the CBD rich Harlequin which has around 7% CBD and only 5% THC and it went something like this:

2 Bowls- Relaxed, clearer vision, felt more awake, happier.

....after half a joint:

BAKED. CBD rich Marijuana still does get you high but the high is different. Paranoia is not present and you dont feel the stoned effect

@Nephil2012 "NO" essentially by robbing the CBD of the Hydrogen component you render it "compromised" experiencing what is "left over" ...the THC. sorry guy :(

In summary, here are the pro's and con's of both types of weed: High THC, low CBD (Most stuff being sold on the streets and in dispensaries, otherwise known as "good shit" by the high school and college kids) -Taste enhanced (food tastes better) -Musical sense is enhanced (sounds sound more clear and are louder) -Sleep inducer (Makes you really sleepy) -Paranoia/Anxiety High CBD, low THC -Feel warmer -Feel more awake -Doesnt make you sleepy -Doesnt give you the sensitivity like THC

@mostliberal Yes, I do know of a strain with lots of CBD and lots of THC. If you are in the Bay Area, look for a strain called "Cannatonic". It has a 1:1 THC to CBD ratio which people thought would be impossible to achieve, since the plant can either get more of one or the other.

Anyways, it is sold at Berkeley Patients Care Collective (11% THC 11%CBD) as well as Berkeley Patients Group and other places in the Bay. Have not tried it because I am very lightweight and get high off lower thc.

I always hated the weed that is sold on the streets and even in some dispensaries. Stuff that yields 15+ % THC would always get me super paranoid and anxious. I would often feel those effects for literally a week after staying sober, I would still feel them!

CBD rich weed is completely different, I feel high but I dont get as much paranoia and the only downside is I dont get the sleepiness that THC gives me and I also get sort of a hangover for the next day, but it goes away unlike THC weed.

@Nephil2012 why don't you do it and test it rather then ask someone on youtube?

[Nephil2012]

If i do a BHO extraction for hash oil will it contain the CBD's as well, or only the THC?

[Tombuchaill]

@BuddieTheBud Does it make you drowsy at all? I want to use it for an illness so I'd be using it everyday.

[Tombuchaill]

@beta447 It also has an anti-convulsant effect, its found more in indica strains. some say it can cause enough sedation to effect daily function though, but using an indica strain with some thc can offset this.

@rohr4urface he is obviously a noob,haha somebody get that guy some indica!!
