New Grower High CBD Cannabis: Strains and Benefits?

[ska'd 4 life]

I've smoked different forms of cannabis for around 25 years and have often experienced the panic attacks, anxiety, and strange deep introspective thoughts often related to death and other dark thoughts, after smoking. At times i often thought why am i smoking this stuff this is not an enjoyable experience? I went through a period in my younger years where i consumed a whole raft of drugs hard and soft, some after a period of use i would bulid up a tolerance to and would need to take more to acheive a high, but i have never developed any tolerance to cannabis whatsoever in all those years. It's pretty much guaranteed that 1-2 joints would hammer me everytime. I started growing late last year and chose auto's due to space and ease of growing, i'd never smoked autoflowering cannabis before that. For me they're like the thing i've been searching for all those years! I've grown 5 different strains so far with another 3 different strains currently on the go, all of them have provided me an enjoyable panic/paranoia/anxiety free smoking experience. I can smoke during the day and function with a chilled state of mind and i can smoke at night and get a good undisturbed nights sleep. I'm not sure wether this is because most auto's are indica's or because they're lower in THC and higher in CBD's? I'm currently smoking some Pakistan Ryder which is described as having up to 20% THC but no panic attacks or anxiety whatsoever, the same with the other strains i've grown. The high from auto's is EXACTLY what i've been searching for all these years!

I would imagine half a gram each would make you and your girlfriend feel like that or anyone for that matter because the effects are something like three or five times stronger than smoking the same amount of weed, plus eating weed would on average make you high for around six hours when smoking it around two hours so you could of overdosed. I had a panic attack and my vision went completely blank while queuing in the supermarket with a bottle of coke for around five minuets (everyone thought I was drunk and everything), that was after a fat joint of Rocky (hashish, resin.. everyone calls it different things lol). And I didn't feel right for days so we both probably overdosed on our experiences . I'm going to get some auto cheeses in for the next grow and see what there like, keep me updated on your grow GreenKnight I would like to see how yours turn out :group:. I would presume they would have a heavy couch-lock high being a cheese.
May peace and big buds be with you :group:

Rocky, eh? I like that one. Haha. I haven't heard any funny nicknames over this way.

And yes, it was definitely not a good first experience for her! I knew it was coming, and she wouldn't take no for an answer Lol.

That sounds pretty scary, Pigeon! I was driving when I had mine..... And started feeling mad tingling/loss of feeling in my neck, then it spread to my chest, down to my legs. I was hyperventilating like crazy too. Another funny thing was, I hadn't even smoked anything yet. I felt always on edge and anxious though, regardless of whether I was stoned or not...Definitely some residual 'Rocky' kickin' around in my system, and probably not enough rest, combined with an improper diet

If you'd like to follow my grow, here's the link to my Little Cheese (sounds a bit phallic doesn't it??....) : https://www.autoflower.org/f44/little-cheese-auto-small-cfl-grow-20183-2.html
I'm in need of posting an update SOON. I'll be able to post up the week 4 pics early on next week when they'll be 28 days old on Tuesday. They're starting to smell a little bit, but it's pretty subtle. I need to order some ONA gel perhaps; does anyone know of something comparable that I could get at Wal-Mart or something? Thanks!

I think it had to do with what furrything was saying -- too much of that sativa and not enough of the other cannabinoids (other than thc) to balance it out....I think it's as you described, furrything, that the profile should be pretty well-rounded, and that we should avoid those sativas late in the day! For example -- looking at Sour Diesel's profile, it's basically the grass-appropriated cup of coffee -- over 21%thc and .30% CBD. Definitely not enough couch-lock going on there to get to sleep, and avoid anxiety....

I agree with what you said about less being more! I can fill the elbow bowl of my Extreme Q a couple of times (maybe around 100mg per pack) and feel wonderful for a few hours. An ounce of bud can last me a very long time; however, I have known people to smoke much more. One guy I knew in particular said he was smoking up to a quarter ounce per day. He eventually began having some pretty severe psychotic episodes which developed into schizophrenia. Very unfortunate, however he's been doing a lot better as of lately. It's interesting though, I have read that some schizophrenics have found that CBD in cannabis actually helps treat their schizophrenia, and is much more effective than its (evil) pharmaceutical counterparts.

Funny that you should mention sativex, Krug. Sounds like those guys' efforts have not been in vain! I have read that some schizophrenics are begging for CBD itself to be isolated into a pill, or something like sativex spray for them to medicate with. It's an interesting idea for sure -- IF it is indeed CBD that helps psychotic episodes, rather than a balanced cannabinoid profile, as Furrything mentioned might be optimal! Some more research needs to be done for sure.

Thanks for citing your personal experiences Ska'd 4 life. I think weed is much, much better when you are able to get the same effect from a nice small amount, and not be feeling the need to smoke gram after gram. I can't build a tolerance to it like I did with alcohol over the years, or even coffee for that matter. I have found though, that the more weed I smoke, the less interested I am in consuming coffee, or drinking to the point of intoxication. Usually I just get super involved in whatever I'm doing (normally video games or homework) and forget about that other shit.

Kedo-san: I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience! I know a panic attack could never compare to a heart attack! That must've been extremely scary. When I had a panic attack for the first time, I just had the loss of feeling in my neck at the onset, the spreading of that feeling to my extremities, and shortness of breath. After lifeguarding/teaching for five years, I seemed to think that this must be what the onset of a heart-attack feels like! My heart was racing and I thought I was going to die. Thank God I didn't have anything like you described. I'm glad it got sorted out for you, and wish you zero recurrences!

Sorry for the rant, the bouncing around onto different tangents. It's been most interesting reading what you guys have to say. Glad I found autoflowering seeds, and the autoflowering network at just the right time

Yeah there are loads of funny names for weed around here, if I go to the next town its called something different then in the end I have to say 'Cannabis pollen mixed with shit thats compressed into a block' then there like "oh yeah.. How much do you want" . Mine wont take no for an answer but its totally different the other way around . It was but I would not want to be driving while it happened like your panic attack my vision went completely blank like all I could see was pitch black , Did you pull over ok? There looking good GreenKnight and I like your grow box you might have to make it taller I think when they get older my Auto#1 was a full two and a half feet and I had to make the grow space in the wardrobe a bit taller to house the lights. I buy all my stuff from my local Hydroponics shop or the internet (internet is cheaper but you have to wait for your stuff) so its always a compromise :no:. I'm 90% sure that schizophrenia tabs have CBD in them... Correct me if I'm wrong. My problem is if the weed is there I wont stop smoking it because I'm bored and going for a spliff every five minuets because I'm bored of Playstation isn't the answer so I need to grow some of that Sativex or a ten hit strain with like <5% thc because when its there I smoke it like cigarettes any strains come to mind except Sativex anyone? Sorry to hear that Kedo-San... I hope it doesn't happen to any of us. Rantings good :thread: Peace and big kind buds be with you all :group:

Thanks man!

I actually just got some larger pots and put one outside (after realizing my new pots don't fit in my box ). But I have a couple new strains I want to start as well. I got some Critical Jack autos and he threw in two Blue Widow phenos as well; I might just germ them and put them outside, see how they do. I think I'll finish this second Little Cheese in the box, seems to love all the light to herself.

I hear you about wanting to light up frequently....Been there a while back....Lately I've been really busy with sports and work, etc...so consumption isn't very high- but I know what you mean, when I smoke I enjoy smoking non-stop for the entire day/night. A lighter strain should be good for me too, I hope. The Seedbank guy said he'd have something for me in a couple weeks, not sure if they'll be autos though...

Reviving this as I just picked up a pack of Sin City Seeds "Treasure Island" (Swiss Gold x ACDC) which is 4:1 CBD:THC ratio http://www.seedsman.com/en/treasure-island-feminised-seeds-7. Sin City have another strain which is HarleSin (Harlequin x ACDC) at 2:1 http://www.seedsman.com/en/harlesin-feminised-seeds-7. They also sold out on "Thunderstruck" (ACDC x ACDC) which is 20:1 but they will re-stock later this year or early 2015.

I´m glad that folks are producing these strains as a single puff off of ANY "normal" strain will give me a panic attack. Although if I smoke all day I´ll be mellow at bedtime.
