Many thanks Franco for confirming my own thoughts about industrial hemp. I know this thread is nearly 2 years old, but what really interests me about it is the fact that THC is still being added into to the equation - as if it is some sort of 'magic ingredient' that has to be included into 'medicine' to make it viable. I have read many research papers that talk about CBD being beneficial that don't even mention THC's synergistic relationship with CBD. Charlotte Figi was 5 years old when she was given/cured by CBD rich oil that contained only 'trace' amounts of THC. So, is THC really that necessary, as it just complicates matters 'legally'. SATIVEX is a prime example of the possession/legality aspect of Cannabinoid medicines. Being comprised of a 50/50 mix of CBD and THC it immediately comes under the controls of the authorities because of its THC content - CBD is legal to possess, yes, even here in the UK!

Can you do everyone a favour and consider trying to produce a plant, or product, with 0% THC? Or is this asking too much, even of you guys? Achieving this would make high CBD+Cannabinoid medicines available to, pretty much, everyone worldwide. As I said before, I don't think THC is the 'magic ingredient' and personally wouldn't give a damn if the medicine that cured me contained no THC at all - if it worked.

Hi Peeps. I have just found the forum after Googling CBD. I see that there is quite a lot of disscusion about the 'new' strains of plants that are high in Cannabidiol (CBD) content. I am particularly interested in this compound for use in the healing process and look forward to sharing my, and others, experiences with CBD - and other cannabinoids - in the future. Best wishes to all! B.
