It's possible some of your seeds would be CBD rich, but you'd have to grow a bunch out to identify the different phenos that come up. And you've got to know your parents, as not all Cannatonic expresses CBD at any significant levels. If you have time and space it could be a fun project.

thanks G. I'm not sure if the
male had much CBD. So we have 2 find out.

I'd do a lot of reading on breeding first. Here's a start. http://anthro.palomar.edu/mendel/mendel_1.htm After reading this I decided I was to old to start such an endeavor.

I'll send you all the decent links I find Nutty.

Been doing some reading on cannabinoids, their chemistry, relative concentrations, and more importantly their affect on the body. Seems the THC/CBD ratio is critical to how each molecule behaves...but I have to study this much more to get a grip on it.

I'm trying to reconcile why when I push back the harvest time, the buds do help with neuropathic pain. Does the plant produce CBD (and other cannabinoids) even when thc is degrading ? Is it perhaps just the heavy body buzz that is helping ? Any ideas anyone ? Nutty, when Di was first trying canna, what did she find helped her? Ah, so many questions, so few answers!

There is an answer for each question, Grasshopper, one must listen closer look clear.

I think ratios depend upon what one is treating, or whether juicing for general health and prevention.

The "magic" 1:1 CBD:THC ratio that many strive for is probably great for MS spasticity issues and pain, which is what Sativex is all about.

But we're talking a different beast altogether than juicing, main difference being decarboxylation, which potentiates the THC.

In juicing, theoretically one can get much more CBD-a and other cannabinoids and terpenes into the system.

Dr. Courtenay has a great chart on his site about the Pharmacological actions of non-psychotropic cannabis that I find valuable info: http://cannabisinternational.org/about.php

For one thing I'm pissed at myself. I only saved one link out of the many I've been on. Now I'm trying to find em back.

I'm far from a science whiz. Or any other whiz for that matter. But the way I get it. They haven't identified all of the cannabiniods in cannabis yet. Di still doesn't really smoke. She prefers not to take edibles very often either. Don't ask me I don't get it. She is sure gettin' to be a champ at shootin' down this juice though. She wants to take a lil more than the 30-40 mls she has been doing. Maybe like 50-60 and take it 4-5 times a day.

Do you normally just take it once a day?

I'm making enough for 3-4 daily doses...usually falling around meal times. I was reading something from Dr. C that suggested keeping "topped up" through the day was more beneficial than a big dose once a day.

I dont smoke it anymore either. Haven't in a number of years...lungs more sensitive as I get older, I guess. I vaporize when I need pain-relief or sleep aid from a THC dominant Indica. Or during a flareup.

I get it. She does not want to be stoned all of the time. I'm constantly having to decide if I want to be functional - and hit the pharmas, or spend the next few hours in la-la land. After a few days of being ripped, I need a rest! Frankly, until my health went to crap, once a week was fine.

I wait till late afternoon,to bake so I have all day to do things.But I admit I a wasted lump at night.
