Which Cannabis Strains are High in CBD? 2019 Updated
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, a non-intoxicating cannabis molecule with a variety of anecdotal and studied benefits such as:
Pain relief
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-epileptic
Anti-anxiety
A strain can be either dominant in THC or CBD — or it can be a combination of the two. Both THC and CBD have unique medicinal properties, some of which are amplified when both compounds are present, such as pain management.
CBD-dominant or balanced THC/CBD strains tend to be the best choices for consumers prone to anxiety, as CBD can help curb the negative, paranoid side effects some consumers experience with high-THC strains.
GODFATHER OG
Godfather OG takes the top of our list for strongest THC strains with an incredible 34.04% THC. OG strains have long been prized for their unbelievably relaxing effects, and Godfather OG is no different. Although it has a dubious lineage, with different online sources listing various genetics, most acknowledge Godfather OG as a combination of Granddaddy Purp (GDP) and OG Kush.
There is a spiciness in Godfather OG’s scent that should be familiar to OG Kush connoisseurs that is coupled here with some subtle grape notes from the GDP. One of the heavier OG strains available, Godfather OG is best used after physical activities and is often recommended for users hoping to get a good night’s sleep.
ACDC (The Marijuana Strain That Doesn’t Leave You Feeling Thunderstruck)
This strain is a 50/50 hybrid and it has one of the highest CBD:THC ratios around. You can get up to 20% CBD versions of ACDC, and while some contain up to 6% of THC, it is possible to get one with as little as 0.42%. ACDC generally leads to a strong euphoric feeling, making the user feel calm and happy. It is ideal for daytime use as it tends to make users more focused on their work and also increases sociability.
ACDC is generally used to help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, inflammation, migraines, nausea, neuropathy, arthritis and bipolar disorder. It is also a favorite for people with chronic pain, and it is even a good choice if you’re looking to mitigate the effects of chemotherapy treatment.
SWEET PURE CBD
Professional breeders gathered ‘round and reached an accord to hybridize a high-quality Diesel strain with a CBD-rich plant. This resulted in a super sweet strain coined as Sweet Pure CBD. It’s a sativa-dominant plant that provides growers with a solid amount of CBD ranging between 8–15%. The THC-levels are very low, reaching 0.4–1% depending on the phenotype.
Indoor growers shall be blessed with 400–500g/m² of Sweet Pure CBD buds. Outdoors, this variety produces approximately 375–600g/plant. The flowering phase lasts for around 9 weeks, which is required to develop those perfectly ripe buds, drenched in medicinal cannabinoids. Outdoor growers should harvest this strain during the end of September.
