Keeping the Potency of High-CBD Marijuana Strains

Out of more than 70 active chemicals in marijuana, the CBD or cannabidiol has emerged as the cannabis component with optimal benefits. Recent studies on CBD found that it provides the distinct therapeutic effects of medical marijuana, such as relieving some types of inflammation (including pain) and nausea. CBD has even demonstrated cancer-killing properties, as some experiments show that it reduces the growth of tumors.

The best quality of CBD, however, is that it doesn’t have psychoactive effects. Instead of producing anxiety or paranoia (like what THC or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol does), CBD reduces these side effects. It has also shown promise in treating the convulsions related to childhood epilepsy and other similar disorders. Medical marijuana dispensaries, prescribers, activists, supporters, and users prefer high-CBD strains because of these findings.

Like the rest of the marijuana plants, high-CBD strains like Harlequin and Charlotte's Web need to be cultivated, harvested, and stored properly to maintain their potency. For instance, buds have to be slowly dried and cured in a dark, cool, and air-tight space for 2-4 weeks or longer. Aside from preserving the levels of its CBD components and the balance of other chemicals in the plant, these proper methods improve the smell and taste of the substance.

Medicine dispensary systems can help make these tasks more efficient. These state-of-the-art containers are engineered to give the plants an ideal environment. Additionally, these systems have security and inventory control features, so the substances won’t be improperly accessed.
