While cannabis is a single plant, it is not a monolith. It can be found in a number of strains with their own attributes, and features. Some Cannabis strains contain very high levels of CBD. Cannabinoid does not have any intoxicating effects, but rather offers several health benefits like Chronic pain relief, seizures, anxiety, sleep disorder, skin health, etc. For some, CBD has become alternative medicine to deal with their health issues.

What does it mean by CBD-dominant strain?


CBD and THC are the two main active ingredients found in cannabis plants. While CBD doesn’t cause you high, THC does when taken. This means THC is psychoactive.
