Hi,
High CBD strains are a relatively new phenomena to the cannabis community. Having had the opportunity to medicate with Harlequin (8%CBD/6%THC) I figured I'd share some personal insight...
Bit of Background
I've been using cannabis for 25 years... the last 5 years I've been 'medicating' with it. At least 'intentionally' medicating with it. Turns out I'm one of those folk that have been self-medicating for an underlying issue for decades.
My main issues turned out to be pain and autism and having cannabis around always helped life move a little smoother for myself and everyone around me.
The Last Few Decades
My cannabis use has increased, as has my access to high-end genetics... or is it the other way around?
Turns out that it's actually the other way around. My issues are lessened/negated with the use of cannabidiol (CBD) and the cannabis I've been using has been decreasing in CBD content.
I Had THE Cut of ECSD
Talk about a super-low CBD cut of cannabis. Ouch!
I would take a big huge bong rip and have instant memory loss. Looking for lighters in hands, hats that are on heads, sunglasses on face... that type of stuff.
No big surprise that I lost the cut through a mis-labeling incident... Right?
High THC, Low CBD Cannabis Fun?
Yeah, if you don't have anything better to do than stand around high as 'uckall. Know what I mean? I'm more focused on getting my brain to function properly in the first place... I really don't need help with screwups.
Chasing CBD
So anytime I'm medicating with cannabis there are two effects that I'm aware of... how 'high' or 'stoned' I'm getting and how 'medicated' I'm getting.
With the majority of strains... I'm pretty high by the time I'm 'medicated' properly. I don't use indicas or indica-dominant hybrids much so you will hardly ever find me 'stoned.'
I recently medicated for a while with Harlequin and found myself chasing the 'high'... The exact opposite of what I've done for 25 years.
I'm so conditioned to be 'high' by the time I'm well 'medicated' that I have adapted to medicating by 'high.'
Harlequin doesn't get you high or stoned... period.
So here I am, smoking a few bowls... not paying attention and subconsciously toking until I'm 'High'.... which never happens so I keep toking until my conscious realizes what's going on. lol
A very welcome switch indeed.
Harlequin
I'm excited to turn half my next harvest into harlequin canna-pills... medicating to sufficient levels without getting 'high' or 'stoned' makes me giddy every time I think about it.
With the CBD levels going lower and lower because of prohibition... the cannabis I've been using has been becoming less and less effective, requiring me to use more of it. End result? By the time I've ingested enough CBD, I'm so high I have functionality issues.
With Harlequin I'm going to medicate myself sober! LOL
Keep it Clean!
