One way to tell if you have some CBD in the strain you are working with is how long the buzz lasts.
CBD helps to regulate how fast the THC is matabolized in the liver.
A strain with little or no CBD will hit fast and last only about one to 1.5 hours.
With CBD the high lasts longer ~ 4 hours or so as it slows the degradation of the THC.
Both THC and CBD start out in the plant as a single chemical. This is then converted into various canaibanoids depending on the amount of specific enzymes in the plant.
Plants with good CBD count might be viewed a less potent as there is a competition between THC and CBD.

Satori
Satori
I ordered the Mandala's Satori seeds when I read "...helps depression and anxiety", my two ailments. I can say with out any doubt that this is true. While THC in any form or fasion helps my depression, some "specimens" of bud I've smoked have worked much better than others. I have found that Sativa dominant strains work best for me. Satori does keep me up at night. I have horrible insomnia. I have to take a coctail of pills for it. Now that I've got the Satori going for daytime use, I need a good sleeper. One unique thing about Satori is that it hardly gives me any munchies at all. Nor does it give me a heart-racing speedy feeling or cause impulse shopping. I have some bagseed indica Afgani? which gives me mad munchies, racy feeling chest, and makes me impulsive. The THC makes me happy none the less.
So, my holy grail now is a strain that will put me to sleep without giving mad munchies. Does this exist?

"So, my holy grail now is a strain that will put me to sleep without giving mad munchies. Does this exist?"
I'm also looking for something like this; whenever I smoke less than a few hours before my bedtime, I can't get to sleep. This seems counterintuitive but for some reason I'm just overstimulated by it and I can't stop thinking...one exception was a bud I had in amsterdam called "stargazer," which made my whole body feel like it just got a blow job... I'm wondering if I can find that strain or something similar.
*edit* I found some beans, but they're absurdly expensive in my opinion... (75 Euros...)

This thread is amazing. I will report my findings as soon as I'm done flowering.
I'm sure you know this already, but I personaly can only sleep with high indica strains inside me. As far as I am concerned cannabis is the best cure for insomnia I have found and I have tried everything from magic crystals to date rape drugs and opium. It also carries far less risks.phattybudz said:"So, my holy grail now is a strain that will put me to sleep without giving mad munchies. Does this exist?"

i recommend citral kush or hindu kush for people that have any kind of cramping like colon attacks,stomach pains etc... also its good for (IBS) irratable bowel syndrom & nausea. its also very good for people that have chronic fatigue syndrom or lupus or any other kind of auto immune system problems that are sensitive bcuz its a mild indica thats not heavy & it wont wipe you out or put you to sleep. also good for anxiety/panic attacks bcuz of its relaxing effects.
also for anxiety & depression i like the euphoric & giggly type highs like blueberry,bubblegum,leda uno,strawberry haze .basically anything that has an upbeat happy high without the racyness.
i grew some blue mystic that was one hit & lights out sleepy time.so im guessing maybe anything white widow crossed for sleep.

have you tried eating it? I would reccomend making some bud olive oil or cannabutter. For me, whos just getting his health back from a period of lack of nutrition and drinking waaaaaay to much and just laying around all the time. I must say using the whole plant root and all for these cooking processes is super dank. Its like cannabis is this super regenerative plant. (I also have autoimmune which means my immune system freaks out and uncarboxylated cannabinoids aka THCV are great for so just water tea can be quite health giving as well). Also if you do make bud oil or butter, slow cook that shit. And don't let it get to hot, i've heard the temperature of thc decarboxlyation (aka 'activation') is 175 F or recently 250 F. I cooked some oil at about 200 and its great as a mood stabilizer and apetite stimulator and real good for my stomach too. I cooked it with cardamom cuz it helps fat digestion (being its all in peanut oil) and a little cinnamon (to kill off my nasty rotted away stomach bacteria).
anyway, hope this might help and if anyone has temps for decarboxlyation... let me know. (or links to good shit about detailed shit about cannabinoids)
peace, mazza

I'm Bipolar II with severe sleeping disorder, GAD and panic attacks (well I don't have GAD anymore).
I used KC Brains Original NL in conjunction with psychotherapy and it just blew my GAD away in a year, my consumption of xanax and rohypnol got significantly reduced. It helps my sleeping disorder very very much also. I have tried several strains after that and GHSco Himalayan Gold is my favorite so far although I would like to try my own grow of Original NL and see if it is any better, it was a while since i smoked this. The HG is very leafy so its a pain to manicure.
I don't even need to smoke anymore to keep my GAD away.
I belive the weed keeps me emotionally level but I can't be sure becouse I always run out.
But when I do run out it have the exact same effect as if I stop using my Ergenyl Retard as mood stabilizor. First i get a hypomanic episode, then i'm normal for a short while and then i crash into depression. Although now I have stoped and started using ergenyl so many times that the side effects from it are really bad with migrane, upset stomac, freezing sensation, skin rashes and probably more I have forgotten. So I'm working on my grow setup to keep me with a constant supply of weed becouse I cant use Ergenyl any more and I don't dare to take Lithium with my habit of stoping and starting my madication all the time.
So I want to replace it with weed and it doesn't hurt that it gives a nice buzz too.
I don't need the rohypnol at all when I have weed either but I won't let go of my xanax becouse I never know when the next panic attack comes and if the weed will really work that time.
But I live in a stupid country where rohypnol is legal and weed is illegal.

Any advice on a Sativa that is good for chronic pain & nausea?
I've been on Silver Haze for a week.
Been afwul nice as I've been productive as hell. Today was the last day.
Nice focus with only a hint of brain fog that usually set in as it wears off. Motivated with low anxiety and did a fairly ok job on my back pain.
I'm thinking of adding it to my list of strains I should get seeds of in the future.
Tomorrow I start in on the resin. Then the leaf.
Gonna be at least a week before I can pick up more meds, maybe longer.
Almost considering going 11/13 to speed things up as I still have around 30 days or more left to go.
Hell of a rollercoaster but the end is in sight!!!

Must not have been that good of a blow job if 75E is too much. You could grow pounds of blow-job material over a few years period, even with a small setup.
Sounds worth it to me!

Kalichakra (Mandala Seeds):
Main Pheno. Makes you grin, lazy and happy. lasts very long, nearly no tolerance buildup. good against anxiety, backpain
Strawberry Cough (Dutch Passion):
Up-High, mellow in low doses, quity trippy when dosing higher. euphoric, yet cold. kills anxiety. could alter your perception of everything a little bit, but thats fine
