CBD, or cannabidiol, is used to treat inflammation, pain, and headaches. What makes this strain type different than the rest is the low THC levels. Low to no THC levels will reduce the psychoactive or head-high effect of marijuana and still provide all the medical benefits associated with the plant.
The top reasons to use CBD strains are for pain, inflammation, stress, and relaxation. The low THC levels make this a perfect strain to medicate with during any time of the day. This type of cannabis has been used lately for patients trying switch off painkillers to a more natural/healthier type of medicine. Other uses for the CBD strain are nausea, seizer suppressant, anxiety, and depression.
When growing the CBD plant it is impossible not to include THC in the process as they both go hand and hand. Naturally occurring CBD will have traces of THC in the buds, on the other hand, mad scientists in a lab can synthetically engineer CBD extract with no THC at all. That is why the legal world is up in arms.
