Here are some of the most commonly referenced CBD-rich cannabis strains — these are varieties known for having higher cannabidiol (CBD) levels relative to THC, which often means therapeutic effects with little to no strong psychoactive “high.” This is general informational content about plant genetics and cannabinoid profiles, not a recommendation to acquire or use cannabis in any particular jurisdiction.
🌿 Classic High-CBD Strains
1. Charlotte’s Web – Very high cbd cannabis seeds, extremely low THC; famous for its use in treating severe epilepsy in children.
2. ACDC (AC/DC) – A Cannatonic phenotype with very high CBD:THC ratios (often ~20:1), minimal psychoactive effects, and broad therapeutic interest.
3. Cannatonic – One of the earliest CBD-focused hybrids; balanced or CBD-dominant depending on phenotype.
4. Harlequin – Known for a consistent CBD presence and a milder, clearer experience than many THC-dominant strains.
5. Ringo’s Gift – Variable CBD:THC ratios (from balanced up to very CBD-dominant) due to crosses between high-CBD parents.
🌱 Other Notable CBD-Dominant Varieties
6. Sour Tsunami – One of the first bred specifically for CBD yields rather than THC.
7. Remedy – A mostly indica high-CBD strain with low THC and soothing effects.
8. Sweet and Sour Widow – Balanced CBD/THC (~1:1), offering gentle effects suitable for some medicinal users.
9. Blueberry CBD – A fragrant, fruity strain with notable CBD levels around ~16%.
10. CBD Gorilla – A relaxed-feeling hybrid with decent CBD content and mild euphoria.
📌 Notes on CBD Strain Information
- The CBD vs. THC ratio and cannabinoid levels can vary widely between growers, seed banks, and plant phenotypes — even within the “same” named strain.
- Many high-CBD strains were developed by crossing traditional marijuana genetics with hemp varieties to minimize THC and maximize CBD.
- Some strains historically known for THC content may have CBD-dominant versions bred specifically for their therapeutic profiles.
If you want, I can also summarize what potential effects these CBD-dominant profiles are commonly associated with (e.g., pain relief, anxiety support, inflammation), or explain how CBD ratios differ and what that means.
