Magnificent sativa. Heady, but not intoxicating. Great chill type of sativa good for grilling, chilling, socializing, board games, enjoying nature, you know, chill kinds of things. I wouldn't call it energizing as much as it is stimulating. What I mean is I don't think this would be good for very physical activities, but for more mental type of things, I'd highly recommend. It gets your brain going and gives good focus. Great for first timers.

More sativa dominant than indica dominant strain makes it perfect for morning, afternoon, or evening use. Tasted very floral, but still skunky with that diesel flavor. Gave a very cerebral high but still relaxed me which washed away any anxiety that I had. I absolutely loved this strain!

This strain is like no other to me. It smokes with a floral flavor and scent, is quickly effective and completely enjoyable. Great pain relief for nerve pain and myofascial pain. Calm giggles. Fun memories. ... also the best s*x I’ve ever had. 10/10.

In 17 years I have never smoked a better tasting strain. This is what medicine should feel like. For me, this is the first time I have had a single strain balance my physical and mental life so perfectly. This is for sure a Sativa dominate flower but with a relaxation and body high that makes you want more. Have you ever smoked specifically because you craved the taste? Like almost hungry for the taste? Yea, me neither until Lilac Diesel. I have finally found my medicine!

Top Picks — High CBD Strains

 

So, consumers are able to benefit from the bodily effects of cannabis without affecting their headspace. High CBD strains are most commonly used for medical purposes, but they may also benefit anyone else looking to use cannabis products without getting high.

Located off of 495 in Lowell, MA, Smyth Cannabis Co. is the most popular dispensary for high CBD strains in Andover, Ayer, Billerica, Burlington, Chelmsford, Nashua, Dracut, Groton, Haverhill, Lawrence, Littleton, Lowell, North Andover, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Westford, Wilmington, Woburn and the surrounding towns.

 

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, CBD is an active ingredient found in cannabis. CBD does not contain THC. And unlike THC, CBD does not have any psychoactive properties. So, CBD alone will not make a consumer feel high.

How Does CBD Work?

Humans brains have our own internal endocannabinoid systems that we use to maintain homeostasis. This system also allows us to process cannabinoids through a network of neurotransmitters and receptors.

THC activates the CB1 receptors in our brain, whereas, CBD restricts activity in the CB1 receptors. They produce opposite effects. Additionally, CBD also binds to other parts of the body (including 12 targets in the brain alone) to make you feel good.

Because of the way that they interact with both our endocannabinoid systems and each other, at least a small amount of THC does need to be present in order for the benefits of CBD to reach their full potential. But luckily, products high in CBD are readily available at your local dispensary. Here are our favorite high CBD strains of marijuana:

5. Charlotte’s Web | Hemp CBD

charlotte's web

Charlotte’s Web is actually a strain of hemp originally bred with cannabis to create a new strain with higher CBD and lower THC than most other marijuana strains on the market. This strain contains less than 0.3% THC and is non-intoxicating. Its name pays tribute to a young girl named Charlotte Figi who was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy. Her physicians and parents say her seizures were dramatically reduced by her consumption of medical marijuana when she was just five years old.

  • Breeder: Stanley Brothers of Colorado
  • Cross: Industrial Hemp x Unspecified Cannabis Strain
  • Tastes Like: Sweet, Woodsy

4. Ringo’s Gift | Hybrid

ringos gift

This high CBD strain was named after Lawrence Ringo, a cannabis activist and pioneer community known as the “Father of Cannabis.” Ringo’s Gift comes in many different phenotypes with different ratios varying from 1:1, all the way up to 24:1. A 13:1 ratio of CBD to THC is standard for Ringo’s Gift. In short, this strain is known to help consumers sleep.

  • Breeder: Southern Humboldt Seed Collective
  • Cross: Harle-Tsu x ACDC
  • Tastes Like: Earthy & Woody

3. ACDC | Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

acdc strain

ACDC is a high CBD strain popular with medical patients. The CBD to THC ratio is about 20:1. Commonly used to combat the negative side effects of chemotherapy, it produces almost zero intoxicating effects for most consumers.

  • Breeder: Resin Seeds
  • Cross: Cannatonic x Ruderalis
  • Tastes Like: Earthy & Woody

2. Stephen Hawking Kush | Indica

stephen hawking kush

Named after the famous scientist, Stephen Hawking Kush was bred as a party of Alphakrokik Genes’ series of high CBD strains known as “Great Minds.” There are 3 known phenotypes of SHK, all with similar flavor profiles. Above all, the relaxing effects of this strain help to suppress nausea and alleviate pain.

  • Breeder: Alphakrokik Genes
  • Cross: Harle-Tsu x Sin City Kush
  • Tastes Like: Fruity w/ Notes of Mint

1. Sour Tsunami | Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

sour tsunami

Sour Tsunami was one of the first cannabis strains bred to to be high in CBD, as opposed to THC. Its characteristic dark green and purple buds produce a gassy, diesel flavor profile. Like other high CBD strains, sour tsunami is used to treat pain without making consumers feel the “high” of a strain higher in THC.

  • Breeder: Southern Humboldt Seed Collective
  • Cross: Sour Diesel x NYC Diesel
  • Tastes Like: Gassy; Musky

Where to Buy High CBD Strains

Again, THC must be present in order for CBD to be fully efficient. So you’ll need to visit a local dispensary to purchase a high CBD strain of marijuana.

High CBD strains are most commonly used for medicinal purposes, although their bodily effects can be beneficial to recreational consumers, as well. For this reason, consumers without a valid MA medical marijuana card may have the best luck finding a high CBD strain at a dispensary that has dual licensure to sell both medical and recreational products.

Hemp CBD vs. Cannabis CBD

The CBD products you see available over-the-counter in stores are derived from hemp, not cannabis. Unlike cannabis, the hemp plant does not contain any THC. Consequently, CBD products purchased anywhere other than a marijuana dispensary are not likely to yield any noticeable results, because they do not contain THC.

The 2018 Farm Bill made certain hemp-derived CBD products with less than 0.3% THC federally legal. However, CBD products containing more than 0.3% THC are still considered marijuana, and therefore federally illegal. Cannabis (including all its active ingredients) is legal in Massachusetts for both recreational and medical use.

3 Best Weed Strains For Beginners

3 Best Weed Strains For Beginners

Often times, a bad first-time experience with marijuana can discourage a person from giving it a second chance. Regardless of whether you choose an indica, sativa or hybrid, enough of any high potency weed will make you feel disoriented. You’ll want to judge the effects of your strain choice before reaching this stage, so it’s important to start off slow. New users, or those with a generally low tolerance, should be extra careful to avoid getting too high. Here are three of best weed strains that we recommend for beginners:

Located off of 495 in Lowell, MA, Smyth Cannabis Co. has the most popular weed strains for beginners near Andover, Ayer, Billerica, Burlington, Chelmsford, Nashua, Dracut, Groton, Haverhill, Lawrence, Littleton, Lowell, North Andover, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Westford, Wilmington, Woburn and the surrounding towns.

 

 

3. Blue Dream | Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

https://www.leafly.com/strains/blue-dream

This sativa-leaning hybrid was bred from a combo of Blueberry and Haze. Originating from California, it is now one of the most sought-after strains widely available in the U.S. Tasting also of sweet berries, Blue Dream has a peppery/piney kick to it to add a level of complexity. It averages around 18% THC, but also tests low for CBD concentration, making it an easy weed strain for beginners and veterans alike.

 

2. Blissful Wizard | Hybrid

This creamy, lemon-lime flavored strain leads to a bubbly and blissful high. Additionally, it’s been credited with alleviating physical aches pains and chronic nausea. THC content is higher than that of Blue Dream, so beginners should tread very lightly with this one. But we do think the pleasant high achieved by this strain will leave a positive lasting impression on the newbies.

1. Granddaddy Purple | Indica — The Best Weed Strain For Beginners

https://www.leafly.com/strains/granddaddy-purple

Also known as “Grand Daddy Purp,” “Granddaddy Purps,” “GDP” and “Grandaddy Purple Kush.” This strain is known for its stunning deep purple flowers and its sweet, berry-like flavor profile. This calming indica is a top choice for weed strains for beginners. While you may find yourself in a pleasant daydream, you most likely won’t stray far from the couch after smoking this one.

Avoid Strains Very High in THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the cannabinoid in marijuana responsible for making you feel high. While THC is the driving force behind the pleasant effects you may feel, such as a heightened sensory perception, laughter and an increased appetite, it can also cause adverse reactions. Too much THC can lead to feelings of nausea, anxiety, lethargy, dizziness and paranoia.

I like to compare it to cooking. THC, like salt, can always be added. But it can never be removed. So start off slow with THC — you can always add more if needed!

High CBD Weed Strains For Beginners

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a cannabinoid found in both cannabis and hemp plants. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive effects, meaning it does not give you a euphoric head rush. CBD will not get you high. Instead, you will feel its affect throughout your body, in the form of calm comfort, sleepiness and an overall sense of relaxation.

It is important to note that in order for CBD to work effectively, at least a small amount of THC must be present.

Consider Your Delivery Method

So you’ve chosen your strain,  but what next? Consider the following when deciding how you are looking to use it:

  • Smoking allows you to control your dose and only take a small amount at a time. Most negative affects will subside after just half an hour. Don’t just jump right into a whole pre-roll — consider a few hits from a bowl or even a one-hitter to control your pace. Smoking does however cause a burning sensation in the throat which usually leads to coughing. Vaporizers are said to be easier on the throat and oil cartridges for them are readily available at most dispensaries.
  • If smoking isn’t for you, cannabis edibles can also be ingested. There are a variety of different products available in all different forms and flavors. Effects are often more intense, longer-lasting and can take up to two hours to really kick in, which may catch you by surprise.
  • If you’re looking to use marijuana for relief of symptoms such as localized pain and inflammation, topicals are a good option. Cannabis cannot enter your system through your skin, so even topical products with a high THC content are a safe bet. Topicals allow you to feel the physical benefits of cannabis without any of the psychoactive effects.

I underestimated this strain - the THC was listed as incredibly high and my God, it was! I smoked it before bed and usually, I just knock right out but NOPE. I went into creative overdrive - stayed up writing and editing for a good two hours before realizing how late it was!
