Traditionally, the THC content is the sole indicator of strength and quality of a variety, but that's changing, while the benefits of the other cannabinoids, and in particular the CBD are scientifically recognized. THC is the cannabinoid that is largely responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis and is at recreational users because of its intoxicating properties still the most sought-after connection. For this reason, most breeders have focused on increasing the THC content, but neglected other cannabinoids such as CBD.
With more and more scientific evidence supporting the medicinal effects of cannabis, we see not only a revival of the legal and socially acceptable use of medical cannabis, but also a shift of focus to other cannabinoids. THC has proved that it has its own medicinal qualities, but it is the CBD, which has moved because of its wide range of medical qualities into the spotlight. Especially the lack of a psychoactive effect makes CBD attractive for a variety of applications because it was administered successfully children without it caused a frenzy. As a result, produce cannabis breeders now many new varieties that have high CBD values.
While the mass media CBD pick up on stories of how the little girl Charlotte, who beat her epilepsy with a CBD-rich variety, the consciousness spread all over the potent medicinal qualities of this cannabinoid. The legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use in a number of U.S. states has the availability of CBD-rich varieties increased even further. However, not all medical users lucky enough to be able to buy cannabis in pharmacies legal and illegal cannabis from the road is not suitable for medical use. Therefore, many take it into their own hands and build their own supply, from which they produce their own drugs such as tinctures and concentrates.
CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol, the second most important after the THC and cannabinoid in the cannabis plant. If you look at the cannabinoid content of a variety, it is quite common to find a THC content of about 12-20 percent, where everything is 20 or more, as is very highly regarded. This is not the case in the CBD - it is rare that such high values of it are to be found; each CBD content, which is 4 percent or more is regarded as a CBD-rich species. Although 1% CBD is already much better than nothing, but in recent years, varieties with 18% CBD have emerged, although they are still rather difficult to come by. Commercially available CBD-rich varieties contain between 8-12% CBD.
WHAT CAUSES CBD?
Initially it was always thought that CBD would modulate and attenuate some of the effects of THC - which was a good reason for growers to neglect it. Recent studies have shown, however, that it is actually the CBD, which potentially has the most medicinal value. It is true that CBD changed the way how THC interacts with our body, but not necessarily negative. It counteracts some of the unwanted side effects that may be associated with high THC doses, and prolong its effects.
Used alone, it has been shown in the CBD that it is applicable and useful in a variety of diseases, ailments and problems. Research has shown that CBD showed promising results in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease, PTSD,and epilepsy, CBD is a component of cannabis that may help the patient to cope with chronic pain, cramps, and arthritis.
Again, it should be noted that CBD, unlike THC, is not psychoactive. Therefore, and tinctures and extracts are used to treat children suffering from debilitating illnesses - such as the above-mentioned case of Charlotte, a cannabis takes tincture, which is made from the aptly called CBD-rich variety "Charlotte's Web", to fight their seizures. Before taking cannabis Charlotte had 1,200 seizures per month - now she has about 3 and shows a balanced behavior.
In addition, CBD has no negative side effects, does not harm the body or mind, is not addictive and can not be overdosed
THE TOP 5 OF THE CBD-RICH VARIETIES
The following 5 varieties are those who have shown that they have a very high CBD content and are well suited for those who want to establish and / or grow their own medicine. You are highly recommended.
SHARK SHOCK
CBD Crew Shark Shock Shark Shock is one of the fine creations of the breeder of the CBD crew. The CBD crew are cannabis growers who defy the norm. They are not interested in mass-market THC-rich varieties and focus all their energy on CBD-rich, high-quality, medical varieties. Shark Shock is no exception, it is one of the few species where the CBD content outweighs that of THC.
