I would absolutely agree with this. It seems like every dispensary has a special house clone that is 30% thc, yields 3lbs per light, has a super high calyx to leaf ratio, and finishes in 45 days. And they'll sell you a clone, yea right.
A plant either has THC or CBD. If the plant has 25% THC it most likely has 0% CBD. The plant could have 12.5% CBD and 12.5% THC, or 0% THC and 25% CBD, but it won't have 25% THC and 12% CBD. No way, you're talking 37% cannabinoid content.
I can't seem to get the new search function working properly but there was a breeder discussion by reeferman and mosca about CBD content in marijuana. CBD and THC are inversely proportional in the plant. Modern drug cannabis has had all the CBD bred out of it in lieu of greater THC. Hemp, or wild ditch weed type cannabis is high in CBD and has little to no THC. Apparently if you want a high CBD strain cross some dank with some ditch weed. the high apparently sucks from high CBD strains, bad headache and very lethargic foggy headed stone. Not enjoyable in the least.
I was looking for a good drug cannabis that is relatively high in CBD. the best I came up with was brazil amazonia, supposedly 16-18% THC and 6-8% CBD. Something like this sounds more realistic. I don't think THC and CBD numbers on marijuana have jumped 50-100% since spring 09. There's alot of hype on the market so buyer beware.
c4NN4daze, I think those numbers are correct. The cannatonic sounds like a good strain, but it's only at 7% THC if it's proportional? that's kinda low. you don't want the CBD too high or you'll be having a bad time medicating. I would prefer about 1/3 CBD and 2/3 THC so the THC euforia can get you over the shitty CBD feeling.
