Cannabidiol. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of at least 60 active cannabinoids identified in cannabis.[4] It is a major constituent of the plant, accounting for up to 40% of the plant's extract, as a non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid.[5] CBD is considered to have a wider scope of medical applications than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).[5] An orally-administered liquid containing CBD has received orphan drug status in the US, for use as a treatment for dravet syndrome under the brand name, Epidiolex.[6] Clinical applications[edit] The bud of a Cannabis sativa flower coated with trichomes Antimicrobial actions[edit] CBD absorbed transcutaneously may attenuate the increased sebum production at the root of acne.[7] Neurological effects[edit] A 2010 study found that strains of cannabis containing higher concentrations of cannabidiol did not produce short-term memory impairment vs. strains with similar concentrations of THC, but lower concentrations of CBD.

It involves a wide range of psychical, physical, and emotional responses. The high is a subjective experience based in the individual - one's personality, mood, disposition, and experience with the drug. Given the person, the intensity of the high depends primarily on the amount of THC present in the marijuana. Delta-9 THC is the main ingredient of marijuana and must be present in sufficient quantities for a good marijuana high. People who smoke grass that has very little cannabinoids other then delta-9 THC usually report that the high is very intense.

Grass having a THC concentration of three percent would be considered excellent quality by anyone's standards. Marijuana (plant material) is sometimes rated more potent that the content of delta-9 THC alone would suggest. 1. Type I Type II.
