Can anyone clearly explain why CBD is good?

What would be the benefits of a high cbd strain?

Strains high in CBD are often used for medical purposes. CBD is what can help give you that very stoned, narcotic effect and helps as a sleep aid and with pain relief, along with many other symptoms. Lots of good info on the net on CBD.

CBD does not get you stoned, it does not really alter your state of mind, it's been exaggerated a lot on the net...
So if you are going to read info online, make sure you read those ones with reliable sources like reputable universities.
Dont believe CBD do all the magic just because the business people say so

^ I think CBD has some effect on the high, as its been shown to possibly potentiate the effects of THC. It also has anxiolytic properties which I could see making someone feel "more stoned" I dont think CBD would produce any noticeable effect on its own but I feel it does contribute to certain effects. CBD certainly has medical benefits aswell which could help alot for people like me, who have rheumatoid arthritis or similar ailments.

I heard that THC is the more get you stoned ingredient, while CBD levels are greater benefit for various medical ailments. Thanks for all of your opinions. I guess the best thing to do would be to add a high cbd strain to my next grow, smoke it, and compare.

from what I understand, if you vape, that is a straight thc high. The cbd/n's are what keep you from getting that paranoid feeling.

Thanks for the input, I'll try to remember that next time !!

The recreational grows are more for THC over CBD. THC is the buzz. Strange, I never get paranoid when smoking mj. The thing about having high THC levels and low CBD is that the stoner will laugh at things that aren't at all funny. This is not something that doctors want when it comes to medical mj

This fella has a good grip on things

Just came across this little gem for those who want CBD, but not THC.

ACCESSING 0.5 to 2.0 GRAMS CBD
FRACTIONATING THE PHYTOCANNABINOIDS BY THEIR VAPORIZATION POINTS
http://leavesofgrass...annabinoids.pdf


Patients can use heat to fractionate or separate the active ingredients in cannabis by their vaporization or boiling points. In particular for those patients that need relief from pain, inflammation, muscle spasm and or anxiety during the daytime CBD or Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that once separated from THC. CBD is a uniquely potent antioxidant that can cross the blood-brain barrier in addition to CBD�s ability to reduce anxiety, pain and inflammation outside the CNS (Central Nervous System). Interestingly, CBD is claimed in United States Patent 6,630,507, which notably has been assigned to the United States of America Dept of Health and Human Services. In particular note the definitions of Oxidative Associated Diseases for which CBD is ideally suited.

Once convinced of the utility of this non-psychoactive phyto-cannabinoid, the challenge is how to extract it from cannabis. Of the strains in this county Northern Lights has the highest CBD concentration at 1.0%. Since a pound of cannabis weighs 454 grams, there is 4.5 grams of CBD available. Another strain, White Russian has 2.0% CBD. White Russian is reportedly sensitive to mold but if compatible with your environment, it would be a 100% improvement in CBD concentration. While some might raise their eyebrows at the low amount of CBD present per pound of cannabis, it is important to know that there is 10 to 100 times more CBD per pound of cannabis than Vit C per pound of fresh oranges, for oranges 3 months old it would require 20 to 200 times as much raw material to produce an equivalent 500 mg daily dose.

An article in The Journal of Autoimmunity showed that at particular mouse strain that develops diabetes 86% of the time and is the animal model on which oral and injectable anti-diabetic medications are tested, when given 5 mg/kg body weight per day, 60% DID NOT GO ON TO DEVELOP DIABETES. This would have to be the greatest demonstration of an �ounce� of prevention is worth a pound of cure. There was poster presented at the International Cannabinoid Research Society meeting this last summer that used a dose of 10 mg/ kg which would be equivalent to 1,000 mg / day for 190 pound patient.

Specifically, since Delta 9 THC vaporizes at 157 degrees centigrade and CBD vaporizes at 188 degrees centigrade, this difference can be used to separate these components. Given the predominance of THC (94% of all cannabinoids present) it is necessary to lower the THC content before collecting the CBD or the level of intoxication is so prohibitive as to prevent access to an adequate amount of CBD. The most efficient approach is to use a variable temperature heat gun. This can be calibrated the heat gun to 166 degree centigrade with the Fluke Digital Thermometer available in the waiting room. At this temperature THC is converted into a vapor and removed. Now you have pre-heated low THC cannabis which can be placed in a collection vaporizer such as a Volcano set at the 6 position or if you have a digital at 190 degrees centigrade to convert CBD from a liquid to a vapor. If there is too much residual THC effect you can raise the preheat temperature to 176 degrees centigrade because a few strains do have some Delta 8 THC, which vaporizes at 175 degrees compared to Delta 9, which vaporizes at 157 degrees centigrade. Please note that I carry a Fluke digital thermometer with which you can calibrate your variable temperature heat gun.


Alternatively the high CBD cannabis created by stripping out the THC can be used by any means if you do have access to a collecting vaporizer. The amount of THC removed is a function of how finely the cannabis was ground to increase the surface area and how long it is heated. It requires a shift in thinking in that there can be powerful medical benefits without the familiar THC effect, for many older patients this can be comforting information. Once again to develop an appreciation for the breadth of medical utility attributed to CBD please review the patent currently held by the United States a copy of which is available at www.LeavesOf Grass.info.

Yea i think cbd does effect the high for sure, but most say its an opposite of thc, the more cbd u have, the less stoned/intensive the high would be. And yes! I do believe that it has lots of medical benefits, just might not be so magical as the cbd products companies are advertising, but still magical ))
