CBD and the CBD/THC Ratios in Cannabis Medicines

What is CBD and shouldn’t we be using CBD in isolation?

Both THC and CBD are both cannabinoids and have a host of medicinal benefits, CBD especially shines for certain disorders and diseases. For example, CBD has been shown to be an excellent neural protector, it suppresses seizures, reduces inflammation, reduces anxiety and even fights cancer cells and tumours. CBD also seems to reduce the intoxicating effects of THC in certain dose levels.

All of our own products are thoroughly lab tested for CBD

However, we should not be thinking about CBD in isolation. While THC and CBD have gotten the most attention, studies suggest that the many compounds in cannabis are working together to produce a synergy of effects.

There’s a lot we don’t know about how the plant works, but we do know that some compounds are travellers for others, some activate one another and in some cases increases the effectiveness of the others. Our studies, as well as other studies out there, have shown that certain compounds needs to be present in proper ratios in order for it to be most effective.

Many studies show CBD works well, but this is because they were legally allowed to study CBD. Having worked with patients over two decades we could run any test to show CBD works better when not isolated… if we were legally allowed to test. Do you think a vitamin C pill is healthier than an entire orange?

What kind of CBD to THC ratios are you seeing help certain issues?

We have been collecting and watching patient data for the past 15 years in an effort to hone in on what strains are helping certain conditions. From the data we’ve collected, we have been able to narrow down some into certain categories. For example, here is what we have found with the most popular CBD ratios:

A 10:1 extract (that means very little THC and no psychoactive effect) we have found that it targets the neurological disorders and conditions very well for some people suffering things like epilepsy, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, anxiety, depression, mild arthritis, restless leg syndrome.

This is basically a legal hemp product without THC (or less than 0.3% by law). It does, however, contain a number of other cannabinoids, including CBDA and CBN which adds to that ‘synergy’ we were talking about.

For our 3:1 ratio: there is a very mild psychoactivity and some reports suggest this targets auto-immune conditions and certain types of cancer really well. We have seen real success with problems such as Crohn’s disease, colitis, MS, extreme arthritis, pain and inflammation.

For our 1:1: There is a mild psychoactivity associated with his ratio and it is great for certain cancers, severe pain relief, appetite stimulation even and topically for skin conditions.
