Hello Pinkus, I hope you don't mind me sharing my opinions regarding your post.
When most people think of Cannabis potency, THC levels are obviously what is used as a standard measure. I think it is misleading to only judge a plants potency strictly on THC level.
I know from my own personal research that C. Ruderalis does in fact contain minute amounts of THC. Maybe 1-5% at best.
Also, let us not forget that THC is not the only Cannabanoid that determines the kind of high we get.
I had pure 100% THC injected straight into my blood stream though an IV once many years ago...long story, paid research....But let me tell you, I thought I was going psychotic. It is not a fun high and is absolutely terrifying without the other Cannabanoids (CBD/CBN/etc) present.
It is well known by now that CBD/CBN all have a direct influence on the kind of high/potency we achieve in conjunction with THC.
CBD can help with anxiety/paranoia/insomnia/pain managment/etc and it also helps you feel relaxed/calm compared to injecting pure THC or a pure Sativa variant (high THC/THC-A; low CBD/CBN).
CBN is semi-psychoactive with 10% of the stregnth of THC/helps reduce blood pressure/has anti-depressant properties/etc.
C. Ruderalis is know to have high amounts CBD/CBN which, IMHO, is a great way to get high when crossed with a high THC photo strain.
It, in my opinion, adds personality to the high. Some people want to get that racy/speedy high. Great, go smoke an African strain. Some people want a balanced high with proportionate amounts of a full Cannabanoid profile.
I dunno, I just took some huge hits off a gravity bong so my mind is all over the place.![]()
agreed.. I had given 2 clones of the same strain different seeds.. to a friend wen he left to go back to Colorado.. he got back.. had them tested .. clone a was 17.5 thc. 1.1 cbd.. and at the time they weren't testing for terpenes.. clone b was 20 thc and 1.5cbd .. and clone A.. stunk like a bitch.. Clone B was frostier.. but not as stinky.. and Clone A had the better high of the 2..
that's when I stopped caring strictly about THC.. and started to give a shit about terpenes.. and other cannabinoids ..
its like.. look up wat the terpenes effects are without thc and cannibinoids.. and find what effect your looking for.. then find the strains that contain that .. and you will find strains that u like more then high thc strains for sure..
its all personal pref tho.. some like downer bud some upper.. some inbetween.. lol
