Cannabidiol also known as CBD is the second most common active ingredient in marijuana which is also known as cannabis. Although CBD is an important ingredient in medical marijuana, it is gotten directly from hemp which is often referred to as the cousin of marijuana. Cannabidiol is one of the hundreds of components in marijuana but unlike its counterpart THC, it is not psychoactive. This means that it does not cause the user to get ‘high’.
According to reports from the WHO, nobody has exhibited potential for dependence or abuse from the use of pure CBD. Rather, there are anecdotal evidences that show the medicinal or health benefits of cannabis/cannabidiol. There are many strains of this element and we will briefly list in this article these strains with a focus on berry pie strain and health benefits of cannabidiol in general. Stay with us as we explore these subjects…
Different Strains of CBD
Researchers and different experts posit that there are more than 700 strains of cannabis. Strains in this sense refer to cultivars or specific varieties in cannabis. Every one of these strains is made up of special combinations of terpene profiles and cannabinoid. These combinations determine the flavour, aroma and effects of the strain.
Strains are made through the process of specialized breeding by which cannabis growers cross various parent plants with the preferred traits to get end-products (plants) with specific features. Cannabis growers noticed the demand for different strains of CBD that have distinct characteristics and provide specific effects. This has led them to start creating marijuana strains that are cannabidiol dominant.
The following are some of the most popular strains that are in the market: –
- ACDC
- Remedy
- Charlotte’s web
