CBD is one of the most sought-after cannabinoids. Though people have always been more appreciative of THC due to its euphoric effects, they are becoming more aware of what CBD has to offer.
Owing to the therapeutic benefits of CBD, marijuana strains that are rich in the substance are becoming a great asset to the medical industry. People suffering from different disorders are adding CBD-rich marijuana strains to their regime in order to recover better and faster.
This article will discuss some of the best varieties of marijuana rich in CBD and their qualities.
Candida
Candida is the hybrid strain of two of the most popular marijuana strains: ACDC and Harlequin. The strain produces insanely high levels of CBD and barely any THC. This can be quantified by the percentages: 20% CBD and less than 1% THC.
Candida does not produce any significant psychoactive effects. You can find this strain in two different forms – Indica-dominant and Sativa-dominant. Sativa-dominant Candida strains are harder to grow from marijuana seeds, while Indica-dominant forms are easier to grow.
Sweet Pure CBD
The hybridization of a CBD-rich plant and a high-quality Diesel strain resulted in the creation of a super sweet strain called Sweet Pure CBD. This Sativa-dominant strain contains around 8-15% CBD, while the THC levels range between 0.4-1%.
Warlock
Warlock gives you the best of both worlds, just like a magician. Having equal amounts of CBD and THC can result in a balanced effect. The therapeutic benefits of Warlock know no bounds. It can be used to treat a multitude of diseases, such as Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention-Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and anxiety disorders. It can also be used to boost focus and kill boredom.
Elektra
While Elektra may remind you of electricity and energy, it is anything but. The strain has a calming and soothing effect on your body. People often report sleepiness after consuming this strain, so you can definitely use it if you have trouble sleeping or are an insomniac. Since the levels of CBD in this strain are significant enough, we can count it to high-CBD strains.
What makes Elektra even more desirable is that it has a sweet smell of chocolate, red wine, and citrus, which is a great combination. It can also be used to treat different kinds of anxiety disorders.
Suzy Q
While some will say that Suzy Q does not deserve to be called a high-CBD strain, we will keep it in the category. Suzy Q does not contain high levels of CBD but has almost zero traces of THC, which makes it dominant in CBD.
This highly effective cannabis strain can be used to treat a number of conditions, especially involving pain. Consumers frequently use it to treat some types of headaches.
