Hello fellow tokers, I am new to the site and thought I'd place my first post on this subject. CBD, or cannabidiol is the other major constituent cannabinoid found in marijuana. It generally comprises between 2 and 10% of the total cannabinoid content of most MJ. These numbers are affected by strain, and growing conditions, but are for the most part accurate.THC is by itself a stimulant and a mild to moderate halucinogenic. This is one reason that Sativas give a more"up" and "active" high, as they have higher levels of THC than CBD. CBD, on the other hand, is responsible in large part for the lethargy and couch-lock that a user may experience. Cannabidiol is found in higher concentrations in Indicas which helps to explain their mellow, lock-me-to-the-couch-and-and-eat-everything-in-sight buzz. CBD can, in high enough concentrations cause a mild to severe headache, although "headache weed" is usually attributed to commercial grade stuff that hasn't been finished propely in the last 1-2 weeks of growing, or allowed to cure properly. This is obviously driven by a desire for higher profits rather than good quality smoke.
