What makes you say that?i'd wager the trait bein more sativa than anythin.

All credits due to Robert Clark, bought his Marijuana Botany book at 14, thanks Tattered Cover :) (Screw the 'grow bibles ,ect' if you spend money on a good weed book, make sure Robert Clarke is in the author spot. Perhaps for the more science oriented though)
"Geographical Distribution of Cannabinoid Phenotypes:
Utilizing GC, Samll and Beckstead (1973b) analyzed 350 sample of Cannabis from police seizures and germplasm collections representing approximately 50 countries that were grown outdoors during the summer of 1971 at Ottawa, Canada. Graphs of d9-THC percentage versus CBD percentage produced "three large modally distinct groups with respect to cannabinoid content."
Type 1 samples contained larger amounts of THC (>0.3 percent) and limited amounts of CBD (<0.5 percent). Type 1 samples typically originated from south of 30 degrees north latitude. Type 2 varieties contained relatively high levels of both THC (>0.3 percent) and CBD (>0.5 percent), and Type 3 varieties contained very little THC (<0.3 percent). Types 2 and 3 usually originated north of 30 degrees north latitude....
They (Small and Beckstead) attributed the difference in varieties to origin north or south of 30 degrees north latitude and to selection for fiber and seed varieties at northern latitudes and drug varieties at southern latitudes.
....
North America: North American self-sown popluations have the lowest chemotype ratios (THC etc, to CBD etc.) since varieties were originally introduced for fiber use. NI.H was introduced from W.Europe in early 17th century and BLH from China in the late 19th century. This accounts for the similarity between cannabinoid ratios for N.America and those for W.Europe and China and reflects the primary uses for Cannabis in these regions for fiber and seed."
Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany
By Robert Clarke, Mark Merlin
Sooo...It seems that is may be more Human induced trait than anything. Just how long we been growing this shit?
Or read and answer for yourself.

CBD is more likely a ruderalis trait if it is not a Sativa trait. Indica is not used in hemp to any real extent. Most strains of hemp have at least 2% CBD....
Sorry guys the sight wouldn't load on the phone. Here are the pics

Anyone have varieties tested from CBD Crew? Or mr nice? Or anyone else.
Peace
Charlotte's Web (I refuse to endorse those involved, so I will refer to it as 'high CBD MMJ or R4') is a marijuana plant, not a hemp plant. The guidelines for hemp in Colorado only limit the THC, there is no limit on the CBD. I could be way off, but I think there may be a way to produce a low-THC plant, like hemp, and breed high CBD qualities into the hemp plant. However, I am nowhere near even chucking pollen, so all I know is what I read and hear from people. If people can find a way to produce this product outside the US (Uraguay?) I don't know if hemp is subject to the same restrictions as MMJ[citation needed]. I know you can't bring seed across state lines, but I am unsure about the finished product, whether it's extracted into a liquid or other concentrate form..3% thc is too limiting, what if the plant test at .4? Dept of ag comes out and destroys your whole crop. Is testing even accurate enough at that low level? Had the same thought though, crossing some high cbd strains with hemp, it would be interesting. It only cost a couple hundred dollars to register to grow hemp. And the feds dont seem to be making water an issue with hemp. It would be a lot easier than growing pot, legally.
I dont know if charlottes web is below .3 or not. It was supposed to be around there I think, but you risk the whole crop if some material test above that.
