With the increased interest in cannabidiol as a wellness supplement, many are people looking to try cannabis for the first time. However, they can be put off by the psychotropic effects that come from cannabis strains with high levels of THC. Cannabis strains high in CBD can be a great way to enjoy cannabis without the unappealing high.

With so many CBD strains available, we have hand-picked five of our favorites for you to enjoy.

1. Alpine Delight CBD

Alpine Delight CBD Automatic was created by crossing Swiss Dream and Skunk #1, and can have a CBD: THC ratio as high as 30:1. It was originally introduced into our Sensi Seeds Research collection, but moved into our permanent catalogue in 2020.

2. Afghan Pearl CBD

Afghan Pearl CBD Automatic was created by crossing an Afghan landrace with Jamaican Pearl and Hindu Kush CBD. The combination of these genetics produces a 60% indica, and 40% sativa cultivar with a CBD: THC ratio of 1:1.

Thanks to its Jamaican Pearl lineage, its terpene profile is very sweet, so expect heavy notes of fresh flowers and citrus. The Hindu Kush influence also gives our Afghan Pearl some earthy undertones. Afghan Pearl CBD Automatic will induce a sense of light relaxation for consumers while keeping them uplifted and motivated.

Skunk Dream CBD is a sturdy and resilient strain in the garden with a flowering period between 70 and 75 days. It’s ideal for outdoor cultivation, and can grow to excessive heights in loose soil, with the potencies for extraordinary yields.
