A strain can be high in THC, CBD, or a
combination of the two. Both compounds have unique medicinal properties, some of which are amplified when both compounds are present (e.g. pain or nausea relief).
But keep in mind, while the strains below have a
tendency to contain higher levels of CBD, not every harvest will demonstrate a CBD-rich chemical profile. Take
Critical Mass and
Warlock as examples. These strains can express a high THC profile with only minimal levels of CBD, but you also see instances in which the
cannabinoid content is reversed. It all comes down to how a strain was bred and
which characteristics the plant ends up expressing.
Indicas- Stephen Hawking Kush, Pennywise, Sweet -n- Sour Widow, Dark Star, Critical Mass,
CBD Shark,
Hybrids - Sour Tsunami, Ringos Gift, Purple Cheese, Nebula 2 CBD, Midnight, Maui Bubble Gift
Cannantonic, Harle Tsu, Blueberry Essense.
Sativas - Island Sweet Skunk, Hawaiian Dream, Med Haze, Johnny's Tonic, Jamaican Lion,
Swiss Gold, CBD Haze
Here are some of the strains, I didn't copy all. Some of these strains I've seen and some I haven't . They have the list on Leafly - they wouldn't let me copy it for some reason.
I live in the Pacific Northwest south of Seattle.
