CBD IS CANNABIS' NEW QUEEN: IS THC RELEVANT? von Constance Finley
In 2013, I wrote a blog that is still frequently read: “CBD for Sale but Who Needs It?” . Who needs it are people with anxiety, migraines, low grade pain, ADHD, bipolar disease, menstrual cramps, depression, etc. CBD is proving to be a broadly useful compound even when separated from its natural cohort THC. CBD’s structure was discovered by Raphael Mechoulam in 1963, about the same time his group identified THC’s molecular structure. For decades, THC was the only face of cannabis. Now, in 2018, CBD is the Queen of the cannabinoids, nudging THC off center stage.
In 2009 and 2010, when I bought the first fragile trays of Harlequin clones, a CBD rich strain that was the first we had access to in Northern California, Harborside Dispensary Oakland staff gave me several free each time, “nobody wants these anyway – we can’t sell them”, they said apologetically. At ICRS last year in Montreal or at IACM in Cologne this winter, the number of CBD research abstracts equals or exceeds those on THC. CBD is now ruling over her brother THC with a heavy hand. Why?
