Cannabidiol is also psychoactive. It reduces anxiety. And there are several other psychoactive substances in marijuana. The giggles it induces aren't from the THC. The THC is just the most mind-distorting of the alkaloids in marijuana - paranoia, memory disruption, time stretching out. A low THC version would make you clearer headed, it's true, but you will still giggle like an idiot.

Funny, I already heard of someone breeding a 100% THC free version of cannabis. Did the feds burn it?

THC and CBD are closely related, in fact i think that prior to becoming CBD, all CBD is at first produced as THC by cannabis sticky buds. cannabidiol is supposedly an anti-inflammatory, sedetive and anti psychotic, makes couch lock so you can't get off your couch for hours cos you are too heavy and makes you sedated.

Cannibis for fibre production has done this long ago to satisfy the drug narks. It now appears as another version growing in uber-cool drug rooms.

This is wrong the israelis are turning the clock back, its taken like forever maan to grow blunt so potent that you turn to jelly now they will accidently leak this mutation out and it will interfere with good weed until it takes over and man will have to buy hard drugs then, which im sure they cant wait to sell us. I love weed cos its not a drug its a herb! And it like just grows man no chemicals no secret labs or bellies full of condoms filled with deadly powders. I use it to control my adhd, weed lowers my revs. But with all things too much of anything is bad for you.

This is completely inaccurate. THC is responsible for making you feel HIGH, CBD is responsible for making you feel STONED. A lot of people use the terms HIGH/STONED interchangeably, but they are in fact 2 different things. THC gives you a CLEAR Head HIGH. CBD gives you a MORE intoxicating effect sometimes called "couch lock"
There are 2 main sub-species of cannabis, Indicia (relatively higher in CBD) and Sativa (relatively higher in THC) and anyone who is experienced with both will confirm exactly what I'm saying.
Depending on what you are treating with medical MMJ, one or the other could be a better choice, but what this article is claiming is just flat out wrong.

It will never have any market value.

This sounds just like the Marinol scam. Saying it worked but didn't get you high for $7/pill. If it's inflammation wouldn't an aspirin be better than the strain mentioned plus cheaper? I don't smoke Indicia as it just knocks me out. Where some/best strains of Sativa let me keep working and few side effects while cutting my back pain so I don't have to do Vicodin, etc I have to do when pot isn't available. What this is about is money, not anything else. Anyone 21 or older should be able to buy or grow their own. Think how much fighting, poisoning and life destruction if those drinking alcohol were to switch to pot? No one has every died from pot poisoning.
