Yep, most pharmaceuticals seem to do more harm than good. Cannabis can be a fantastic medicine. Strains high is CBD are generally lower in THC (such as Harlequin and Harley-Tsu). I prefer these kinds of strains since I don't really like being stoned and they help to relieve headaches. My partner uses CBD infused bath salts (not the kind some people smoke) and they tend to work very well for relaxation.
Any strain can be harvested for CBD.
Un-ripe blossoms contain extremely little THC if any. All un-ripe cannabis blossoms are LOADED with CBD.
All strains produced it, CBD is the precusor to THC.
CBD (cannabidiol) is polymerized with CBC (cannabichromene) during the _slow drying of the branches known as 'curing'_ into THC (tetra-hydro-cannabinol).
Over time, THC breaks down into the useless CBN (cannabinol), as far as I've read CBN has no effect, period.
Best thing for us all to do is GROW IT. Presidents Washington and Jefferson did. It was a needed cash crop for centuries, and will become one again come hell or highwater!!! :^)
@matherly, you know your weed! I'm still learning. But I do know that it helps. The FDA won't be able to make that decision for me.
ah, it says you get delivery.
Here in the valley that isn't available.
In Ventura county however, its the only way as there no dispensaries.
Still, pretty local if you are out in Thousand Oaks, etc.
That is good to know, @ironwood. Bath salts would be great. Thanks for the tip.
