More Research Approved!
As the years went by, experts described more hopeful studies involving CBD at conferences of the ICRS, the International Association for Cannabinoid Medicine, and Patients Out of Time. Some California scientists kept up-to-date on the research, and O’Shaughnessy’s reported on it. However, we were merely spectators, not members, until the fall of 2009. This is when Oakland’s Steep Hill Laboratory experimented with cannabis samples provided by Harborside Health Center and found a few strains with higher CBD than THC.
After that, Several dozen labs in medicinal marijuana states were calibrating cannabinoid ratios and recognizing the occasional CBD-rich strain before long. We originally defined “CBD-rich” as 4% or more by dry weight for data gathering purposes. In addition to balanced strains with roughly equal amounts of CBD and THC, a handful of CBD-dominant strains—with 20-to-1 CBD: scientists found THC ratios or higher, raising a cottage industry of CBD-rich concentrates, oil extracts, and other CBD-rich goods.
That was a brief history of how CBD got it’s start. Thanks for reading and join us for new blog posts every week.
