Title: High CBD Marijuana Strains
Post by: jsmith9099 on February 28, 2012, 06:28 am
I took a look at SR today and was unable to find any high CBD strains. I did a search here on the forum, and there's been some talk about it, but I have yet to see anything (although perhaps I just overlooked it).

Is anyone offering high CBD strains, tinctures, or anything?

For those of you who are unaware. some great information on CBD, as well as a list of high CBD strains can be found at http://projectcbd.org.

Although I imagine most of SR users are recreational drug users, I know there has to be a market for this stuff. Why isn't anyone selling it?

That's very interesting, I'll ask around but it seems like a very niche market for growers.  Just sayin... ;)

Look for a pure indicas....Or just leave your bud out in the sun for a few minutes.That should help decrease the effects,you don't want from the bud....

Most people on SR are looking for drugs to get high with though, so that's what vendors are going to be selling. If you're looking for it for medical purposes then get a card and find a dispensary that would have those sorts of strains. If you're not in a state that has medical then you're kind of fucked.

I took a look at the list on that site, none of the growers around here have those particular strains.  The closest would be the Granddaddy Purp Indica and that's already listed...

Yeah, it is a niche market, but thanks for looking, mushitup, I appreciate it.

I can't say for certain since I've never tried it, but higher levels of CBD could possibly have recreational potential, provided there is enough THC. From what I've read, CBD competes with THC for the cannabinoid receptors, so equal or higher levels of CBD compared to THC would probably not produce as much of a high as high-THC low-CBD marijuana, and would be much better suited for medicinal use. However, lower levels of CBD (but significantly higher than most commercially available cannabis) could enhance the high that THC provides in many respects.

CBD is said to reduce anxiety, fearful thoughts and paranoia, psychosis, mitigate memory issues associated with THC (perhaps even eliminate them entirely?), and increase alertness and concentration, along with many other things. From that standpoint, it sounds like an excellent daytime smoke for those that want to get high, but still need to get work done. Or, it could be used by those who enjoy marijuana, but get far too panicky and paranoid (I know a few people like that). Probably most interesting as far as recreational use is concerned, is CBD's effect on THC clearance from the body. CBD affects the liver enzymes that are responsible for breaking down THC, causing higher levels of circulating THC for a longer period of time. What does that mean? You get higher and stay high longer.

GDP is a great strain...But the gdp on SR is not the real GDP,Just some mediocre bud.
