Seeking strain with high CBD, low THC

Hey all,

So due to some recent medical psychological issues Im having, THC is not agreeing with me anymore. Panic attacks,wose depression feeling way to messed up etc. I've been researching a lot on these strains that have been around for the last few years with High CBD and low THC. Some of the names include Harlequin, R4, Cannatonic X, Cannatonic #4, AC/DC. If a strain has high CBD and some THC though I believe I will still be able to take it because the CBD will mild out the psychoactive effects.

My main dilemma with getting these strains is that I live in fuckn Wisconsin. I can't see Gov. Walker passing that bill anytime soon...So for right now my options are to find these seeds online or drive to Michigan and hopefully be able to get temporary residence so I can get a card. (That would be awesome but I'm not sure it would work). The latter is the ideal situation, otherwise going online, because these types of strains are only a couple years old, these seed websites are able to basically charge your whole mortgage for a couple seeds. Its honestly kinda disgusting to me. Anyways maybe this is a far out question but Im looking for maybe anyone who can point me in a solid direction given my dilemma's or maybe somebody grows this strain themselves. If so, Id love to discuss this topic in depth. Im definately willing to pay a decent amount of money but not $300+ for a couple of plant seeds like these places are selling for, that would just be the worst honestly.

If anybody can respond to this Id really appreciate it. Peace.

Harlequin is my favorite High CBD strain. The high is very functional and clear. As far as I know, it's clone only however, been that way since the 70's. But I have seen seeds for sale, but I also hear they are fake. If you know anyone in Colorado who can drive some clones to you, there is a free for all project here and you can get free clones - no card needed. R4 seeds used to be free if you had a card, I see they are charging for them now 3 for $30/6 for $50 which is not bad, but a little high. If I had a card I would gladly sent you some... In Jan, here in Colorado it wont be an issue to get the seeds without a card, but till then...
 
Thanks for the reply Jester. Yea I've been hearing so many good things about these types of strains lately. And I've heard about this CBD free for all organization, problem is its hard to contact them ( no phone number) and I have no idea where their even located within michigan:confused:. But that's definitely an option Im still really considering. My first option right now, that I might even try this coming weekend, is to drive to Michigan and see if its even possible to establish temp. residence and get a card. I know you have to have proof of residence like bills and stuff and I Might even just pay it out for a month, get the bills(proof) then get the card. Im a student in college right now so it would be quite the task lol. As in Im pretty damn poor:roll: That's also the reason Im trying to avoid Col., simply because of the distance-gap. Anyways maybe with some luck, I can actually pull this off...

They are available as seeds at not quite the price you cited. check out cbd crew. Harlequin is clone only, although there are harlequin crosses available as seed.
Check out seedsman.

Yes, some strains of marijuana have been bred to have higher CBD levels. There is also the hemp plant, which has resin that is high in CBD and has only trace amounts of THC. Check out HempMeds, they have several products including chewing gum. Since it's a product using hemp, which is legal to have in the US (just illegal to grow) you can acquire it in any State.

:mrgreen:
 
Thanks for the replies purp and roll. That seedsman site you pointed out purp is great, wayy more manageable prices, than what I've been looking at. Rollitup, yea man I have looked into hemp seeds, I kinda went away from that but hey I might who knows it might work. One thing I have heard though is that if the plant has high CBD its okay to have some THC like say 5-7% as long as the cbd is high. Basically as long as the psychoactive high is very mild Ill be okay, I just cant be smoking like I used to anymore. And to be honest I like the clear headed high more:blsmoke:

Sorry for the confusion. Compounds like CBD and THC are found in the cannabinoid, which is in the resin. Hemp seeds don't have any cannabinoids, so the resin must be harvested from the hemp flowers.

Will hemp oil / resin. help with pain control. and nausua? bc id love to be sober andd pain/nausa free. iv been using heavy indicas bc they have been all that works but can't do couchlock all day everyday.
 
Hey clown, nice name btw. :clap: When it comes to hemp, my knowledge of that is very limited, but I have heard some good things about it. I do know from what I've read, and I've been reading alot. Is that rich strains of CBD with low THC are working wonders for pain relief in patients, without the psychoactive properties that most marijuana has. CBD contains all or I'll say most of the medicinal properties for cannabis while THC has the psychoactive elements of it. Now for some people THC is needed as it can help with symptoms Im guessing mostly mental. But for physical, again from what Ive read you want high CBD. Thats just my two cents, Id definitely do some homework on it, I've only been researching this stuff for a couple weeks. I used to smoke heavy indica all day but like I said above, I just cant do that anymore with my symptoms so Im hoping AI find some relief in this new direction of rich CBD lower THC. Wish you good health and luck!

HempMeds oils and gum are insanely over priced, and downright weak. Their oil is something like only 18% CBD, that's total garbage when you consider the $5,000 price tag for a 90 day supply.

Hemp is just another strain of cannabis but it happens to be a sativa that produces low levels of total cannabinoids and to have a roughly 10:1 CBD to THC ratio. Crossing breeding it with any other high cannabinoid producing strain (which people call marijuana) is the key to coming up with new high CBD strains.

Some of the research suggests that having both THC and CBD is more usefull in many cases. The CBD Crew is aiming for a 1:1 thc:cbd ratio.
 
Yea Huel your definitely right about the pricing man. This site called Canadian hemp co. is selling a couple harlequin seeds for 340.00. Thats just fucked. Not right. What Im aiming for idealy is to have two strains, one rich in CBD with very low THC, like "R4" and then possibly another strain closer to a 1:1 ratio. Iv'e heard taking combinations like these simultaneously produces great results/effects. Don't get me wrong Im going to search far and wide until I can get my hands on some, but to pay $340.00 for a couple of plant seeds, I just cant do.

"Tora Bora has tested at 11% CBD"

from a breeder friend of mine. His TB turned into a dud, but I'm sure you could find seeds online (He doesn't pay for seeds, rather he makes his own, its free, the TB was probably gifted to him) anyway thats his 2 cents via me.
 
Havent heard of TB but ill definately give it a look. Thanks man. My main issue though is I need a strain with more CBD than THC, less psychoactive effects. IF TB carries that trait thatd be great.

From my understanding THC is needed to activate the CBD. Like a key for a car, CBD would be the gas. How much THC exactly I have no idea.

Thats what I've been hearing also, if it has 0% THC and 20% CBD or w.e. your not going to get the medicinal effects, thats why smoking hemp really is not ideal. Least from what Im reading so far.

Hey man, you're in Wisconsin. You should hunt yourself up some flowering ditchweed there or in one of your neighboring states. Midwestern ditchweed is descended from early 20th century hemp crops which I think descends from 19th century Kentucky hemp, with some European mixed in. The Kentucky hemp I think was originally imported from China as a fiber crop. I think ditchweed is an important segment of Cannabis genetic diversity that ought to be preserved and cultivated. It's tough, prolific, and has managed to outwit the DEA for a lot of years. Maybe it is a high CBD crop.
