Guide to Identifying and Understanding “What is Good Weed?”
When it comes to finding the THC, CBD and CBN levels of a cannabis plant the only way to accurately determine the % of the chemical compound in the DRY plant is by using an High pressure liquid chromatography; HPLC.
*Pro tip: Your dealer doesn’t have an HPLC, therefore they cannot just tell you how much THC is in the cannabis you are purchasing. The highest ever recorded THC percentage on any dry plant ever recorded was 31% on Marijuana found in a tomb of a Chinese king buried with his pot and seeds hundreds of years ago. There has never been any recording of present day cannabis achieving over 30%.
THC – (Tetrahydrocannabinol) – gets a user high, a larger proportion of THC will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don’t get high.
THC is responsible for most of the cerebral (mental) effects of cannabis. Besides potentially inducing feelings of euphoria and happiness, THC can cause people to feel anxious, nervous, or paranoid. *
CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. Larger amounts of CBD tend to relax both mind and body, and decrease feelings like anxiety, nervousness, and paranoia.
Cannabis that has a high level of THC and low level of CBD (Cannabis Sativa) will produce a very strong cerebral high. The body may feel more physically energetic when compared to ingesting cannabis with larger levels of CBD.
Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong cerebral high. The body will feel somewhat relaxed and heavy. At lower dose sizes, physical activity is possible (with effort).
As the dose size increases, the body will feel more relaxed and heavy. This makes physical activity require more effort. Fresh hashish is an example of a cannabis product with high levels of both THC and CBD.
Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD (Cannabis Indica) will produce more of a stoned feeling. The mind feels relaxed and dull, the body feels relaxed and heavy, most people do not like to engage in physical activity.
CBN (Cannabinol) is produced as THC ages. High levels of CBN tend to make a person feel messed up rather than high. CBN levels can be kept to a minimum by storing cannabis products in a dark, cool, airtight environment.
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is found primarily in strains of African and Asian cannabis. THCV increases the speed and intensity of THC effects, but also causes the high to end sooner.
If you are a grower, you can experiment with different strains of marijuana to produce the various qualities you seek. A medical marijuana patient looking for something with sleep inducing properties might want to produce a crop that has high levels of CBD.
Another person looking for a more energetic high will want to grow a strain that has high levels of THC and low levels of CBD. In general, Cannabis sativa has lower levels of CBD and higher levels of THC. Cannabis indica has larger amounts of CBD and lower amounts of THC than sativa.
