Hello, i have a son who suffers from early onset schizophrenia. he is 24. meds hes on are zyprexa, cogentin, and med. mj for side effects. i have been researching and have come to find out e'thing i grow is high thc and low cbd. he does well, but has trouble w movement and attention span. i read where a high cbd plant could do tremendous things for him. trouble is every time i find a strain my seed bank is sold out or doesn't carry type. i use attitude seeds, 4 years no problems getting order. I TRULY appreciate any replies to this thread. i am a part of the community in MI, but haven't found anyone interested in helping. best info from nate morris and his cbd website. http://www.nathaniel-morris.com/ This medical mj has changed our lives in such a positive way i have Great Hope for my sons future. i am an excellent gardener and look forward to getting to know you guys. B Blessed in Jesus name! <3 Prayers, Maryjane

Yes.
CBD Crew as them at a level 50% CBD-THC content. Dutch passion also sell one of them (skunk haze i think)
its just finding them in stock.(Attitude as them so email them for a price match at £34.50 Seaofseeds and single seeds price)
Seedsman's skunkman line as a few G13skunk, Big Afghan to that are higher CBD

Are you sure that isn't 5%?

To be clear, something that is 1:1 THC/CBD will be roughly 50% CBD as a percentage of cannabinoids.
I think this is how the Harlequin strain got its name. Harlequin being the Italian clown with a half-white half-black costume. (And that would be another strain to look for).
Depending on what exactly you're trying to accomplish, the THC/CBD ratio is probably actually MORE important than the simple overall CBD percentages. Also, bud CBD percentage is one thing to look at. . .but so are all the other factors to consider in picking a strain, such as yield, flowering time, ease of growing, etc. ESPECIALLY if you're going to make extracts (which seems like a good idea here) a high yielding lower CBD percentage strain may actually be a better performer than a low-yielding high CBD percentage strain.
Anyway, you can buy CBD-crew strains from Mr. Nice's auction site that have high CBD content. Some of these types of strains may put out plants with mostly THC, mostly CBD, and close to a 50-50 combination. So depending on what you get, you may need to do some selection.
The Sannie strains mentioned above are certainly good, but they aren't considered high CBD strains in the sense that they don't have more CBD in them than typical indicas/kushes. I don't think that's what the original poster is after.
I think for the original poster, if you live in a medical state, a really good option (and perhaps the best one) is just find someone local whom you trust, and source a clone of a high-CBD strain. Cannatonic is one that a lot of people like.
If you're willing to take a little trip, or know someone in Colorado, this may be a good option:

Two friends in their mid 70s, both receiving cancer treatment, have been useing http://original-ssc.com/reggae-seeds-juanita-la-lagrimosa.html as an edible for apx. two years. Their comments are generally that they do not feel as "confused" when using; which is pretty much 24/7...FWIW

I've never grown em out to see the winner but id be happy to give ya a clone off each so you could find the one that works best with you. Im mite free its a new grow all from seed very clean house setup. they are at the age that I'm gonna whack the first batch of clones so please get with me and let me know. Im near the capital as well id be willing to travel a bit of a ways.

I know of a strain that is 14-20% CDB and less than 1% THC. Also many autoflowering strains have a high CBD like 12%THC and 4% CBD

Have you considered naming these strains so that anyone reading this thread can look for them?
As already mentioned earlier in this thread, well known high CBD strains include:
Harlequin, Cannatonic, Sour Tsunami, and various ones from CBD crew (EG CBD Skunk, CBD Widow, etc).
There is one called Juanita la Lagrimosa that is about 1.2:1 CBD:THC from Sensible Se-eds.
Supposedly the clone only Raskal OG has a similar cannabinoid profile, and there are a few well know drug strains that can also have appreciable levels of CBD (like LA confidential).
There is one out there called "Ruby Slippers" that's got a high CBD level.
Avideckel is one that's virtually all CBD with negligible THC, though this was developed in a research setting in Israel, and I don't know how available it is, even there.
One key point is that with many if not most of these strains, the plants will put out various phenos, and typically only 1 in 4 of them will be high CBD/low THC.
If you're growing a clone of a tested/known plant then you're fine.
But if you're growing FROM SEED, this is potentially a problem, because unless you have your own plants tested, it may be difficult to impossible to identify the ones that are rich in CBD. Typically these sorts of plants will also put out individual phenos that are 2:1 CBD/THC, and mostly THC. Testing is expensive, but it can be done on plants still in veg stage, so you don't necessarily have to waste your time flowering out plants that won't give you desirable levels of CBD.
Again, from a practical perspective, if you're in a medical state, the simplest/best thing to do is probably just to find a clone of a plant known to have whatever CBD profile you're interested in. That cuts out a lot of hassle in gambling with variable CBD genetics.

By the way CBd crew is a group of very respectable breeders who collabed to form the CBd crew especially for Mmj patients needing high CBd strains... Also cannatonic is one of the first well known high CBd strains think I would try that good luck
TY so much! you can contact me on facebook (maryjane bunker) anytime or @ [email protected]
