If Hemp is High in CBD - why aren't we using hemp?

Vancouver seed bank has hemp seeds.. Great service

I saw on another forum that this strain was tested and cam up at 3.93% CBD

 

Here is the link to Project CBD they can explain it better than I.

Click on the "Science" tab, watch the video and listen to what the Good Dr. has to say. He has been studying it longer than any of us.

Most people don't like pure CBD any better than pure THC. I think he says it causes depression but It has been a while since I watched the video & my memories are frequently flawed. In the USA both are available pure more or less in pill form. Most of us get our best relief when we get some of each in our dose. Some people like more CBD than THC others like it better the other way round but they seem to work best when they are allowed to work together. What we really need is a home test kit so we can blend the two together intelligently to meet our individual needs.

 

Sorry bro, that's just not correct. CBD concentration is not limited to indicas, nor does it cause 'couch lock'. You may be thinking of CBN, the cannabinoid produced when THC breaks down, e.g. trichs that start to loose their heads, and/or turn brown.

 

Just want to add a few things to this thread: someone was asking about CBD high strains. Although there are not many available at the moment, that is rapidly changing as more and more people look for these medical wonders - myself included. I do have a list (somewhere!) of these strains, ask and I will dig it up for you. Of the current 'regular' strains having a higher concentration than most, White Widow is one of the best. Problem is, there are so many different 'real' WWs, it's a crap shoot. Northern Lights isn't bad as well.

Someone mentioned Strawberry cough - supposed to be one of the higher CBD strains generally available at 0.25% - sounds pathetic, doesn't it ?!

Compare that to Cannatonic, which has close to 50%, and the difference is outstanding!
Just heard that a Japanese firm has produced something with virtually 100% CBD, aka trace THC. To a medical user, this could be the silver bullet we're looking for.

thanks for reading

 

Hemp is by definition any cannabis plant that has more CBD than THC, although for legal purposes, the THC usually has to be less than 0.3%. There are strains that have CBD over 10%, and some that the leaves alone have 4% - this would allow multiple harvests per year since the plants don't have to flower in order to get a decent amount of CBD (by extraction). Since hemp cultivation is legal in many places, many people are looking at mass production using various extraction techniques.

High CBD strains are hard to come by at most dispensaries since it doesn't sell very well.

 

BINGO! At last someone who knows what they are talking about! Hemp may have more CBD than THC, yet it is still pityfully low in both.

 

Someone on another forum tested a strain of hemp and it came out as 3.93%

4% is noted as being a high amount of CBD. So I guess until a heap of differen't hemp strains are tested then people can't really go making these claims. These are the type of claims that halt progress!

Very high CBD strains, which ones? - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Indeed. This is probably one of the most informative and interesting threads i've read through in a while.

Thanks for the link

 

Sometimes I smoke some hemp rope and I trip balls.

 

Whew, I thought I was alone with that

 

CBD from hemp is legal and available (for a price). Dixie Botanicals has a hemp CBD tincture I've been using it for several months now and it's helped with my anxiety.

 

I just looked into that.. is it really legal? I was under the impression CBD was treated just like THC. Would you say it's effective and the results are noticeable?

 

I use it every day (a dropper full) and sometimes as much as 5x a day. It's totally given me my emotional balance back.

The tincture is from Hemp, not marijuana and they are selling it as a "dietary supplement". I get my hemp oil in a red white and blue US postal box. It comes every month, just like clockwork.

Do you know if letting a plant ripen to mostly amber trichomes will increase the lvls of CBD as opposed to THC content?
Thks much as always

 

Yeah I read that sativa has higher thc and indica has higher cbd.

Try to post in the open forum, and ask question there
you will get more answers if you ask your question for all to see.
There are some many strains you need to narrow down what works for you and refine it from there.
The rope joke was ment for this thread not as a response to your question.
