Wouldn't you say it works in tandem with, rather than counteract THC? Since they are different compounds essentially. That's why balanced strains are so effective in the sense that the utilization of the THC ( more so relaxes the mind ) and CBD ( more so body effects ) give you a more blanketed medicinal effect.
I have had personal experience with medicinal marijuana here in Canada. I have used CBD oil and it worked wonderfully. I had a bad spot in my back for a few years that stretching could not fix until I started using the CBD oil. I think it was the first time my body wasn't tensed up in some way for those few years after injuring my back. everything kinda just released and my back soundsed like a water bottle. I can now bring my knee to my chest with little discomfort when before i could hardly make it past my waist......i'm 28 I shouldn't feel that frial haha.
Great post :)
CBD and THC work better when they're used together. Full spectrum medicines (tinctures, RSO, etc) are typically superior for management of most types of medical issues that cannabis helps with. Research "The Entourage Effect"
Absolutely. I've only recently continued learning more about the more scientific/medicinal side of cannabis use as I had stopped for some time. The learning curve is quite high if you want to really get into the nitty-gritty details, but it's a fun journey to learn what works for you.
We are just starting to understand the broad uses of this once demonized plant!!!!
I just made a post about the science. Thc lowers cb1 receptors and cbd prevents that decrease. REEFER MADNESS
Yep Full Spectrum is the best cannabis medicine !!!!
Yes. I absolutely agree. Wholeness.
thanks for your comment! Yes they work together.....what I meant is that high levels of CBD can curve the psychoactive effect of THC
I am a fan of CBD, but ive seen studies where CBD can potentially have no affect while taken alone. Either way its definitely better than pharmaceuticals.
it increases cb1 receptor density. i just made a post about it. Though if you don't have endocannabinoids like anandamide from lack of linoleic acid ingestion you won't feel the benefit until you take some thc. Increases the potency of thc
I suffer from an autoimmune disease called Meniere's Disease and one of the major symptoms when I have an episode is severe nausea. I am not a cannabis user by any means (only used twice my entire life and that was when I was MUCH younger) but I did try the CBD oil when I was having an attack. It did surprisingly relieve some of the nausea and even helped control my vertigo.
For better or worse, THC is what is typically effective for nausea. Try using a mixed-ratio CBD:THC product. Something like a 20:1 tincture would have enough THC to help and the CBD would still do positive things for you. THC (and its acidic form, THCa) are very medicinal when used correctly.
I've seen many cases get relief from these oils....some even claim to be healed!!!!!!
My father uses it for pain relief to great effect.

It's an incredible medicine for our elderly people!!!
Grannies are gonna get tricked into using thc without cbd and lose their mind. I just did a writeup on the dangers of pot. Often overlooked by those in denial of their worsening memory recall and increased pain/desire for smoking more pot after sativa use
