No paranoia. No hangover. Found myself very happy and talkative
This strain is perfect for those who are sensitive to THC but need the help of a strong CBD for pain. I have chronic back pain issues, so this is a great fit. Mostly, it's helpful because I have a 10 month old girl, and being married, I don't particularly like being cerebral and overly medicated. This is exactly what people need to help cope if they don't want to feel high. Sure, after a big bowl you might get a little lifted feeling, but you're completely functional and a little more light-hearted. It's the perfect fit for someone like me.
This is seriously like, The Most Gentle Weed In America. Couple hits (like 2-3 MAX) before heading out to a crowded spot *completely* annihilated my social anxiety + low psychoactive effects kept my head from floating out into outer space (but still brought on a nice, feel-good vibe). My husband has pretty bad diagnosed like, Actual Anxiety and it helped him mellow out nicely. Just went back to Vela and picked up more of this medicinal gem!!
If you've never tried a CBD-focused strain before, I highly recommend it. CBD has worked wonders for my trigeminal neuralgia, and it also helped with a short-term muscle tightness in my back. You don't get high from it like you do THC, but there is definitely an overall euphoria that kicks in as it loosens up your body.
The ACDC I got has 20% CBD and 1% THC. The interesting thing, for me, is that CBD takes a little while to kick in compared to THC. So there's a very mild THC "lift" that happens initially after inhaling, and then within about 15 minutes I feel every muscle in my body relax to what feels like its "default state." I'm not impaired by the relaxation, rather I'm freed by it.
ACDC is good to have around both for when you just want CBD or you want to blend a little CBD with your THC strains. I am very sensitive to strains that induce paranoia, and you can very quickly and easily mitigate that with some CBD. ACDC provides that option, for sure.
There's a mild tingliness that sometimes happens for me with CBD, and ACDC can definitely kick that in. When it happens, it's blissful. I just wish it happened every time I used this strain!
I picked up an eighth from Curaleaf dispensary in NJ. This strain came in at 11.70% CBD.The flowers were light and fluffy. Had an earthy, grassy scent. I The flavor was a nice clean earthy woodsy taste. I vaped in my Cloud Vape diamond herbal vaporizer at 365 F. The effects were felt immediately. My anxiety went from an 7-8 to a 1-2 almost instantly. This was also a good strain to use in the event you consume too much THC. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for anxiety relief or someone new to cannabis.
Love this strain. Really lowers my anxiety level without leaving me dazed and confused. Also great for pain and headaches. I'm relaxed but clear headed. Perfect for staying productive during the day without being stoned.
OK, I picked up the strain so I could enjoy smoke without the THC (kind of like drinking a nonalcoholic beer). With that said, there still feels like there are psycho active effects; including munchies! They say there's only 1% THC and 20% CBD in the strain. Well I can tell it's not nearly as potent as regular weed, I still feel quite satisfied. Placebo fact? Is there a more THC the strain then the lead on? I certainly wouldn't want to drive on it. Or maybe, the CBD and other compounds have a much greater impact in cannabis then I ever knew. Excited to try this more, especially on the weeks
I was looking for a strain for Panic Disorder and Anxiety. I found Charlotte's Web, however it seems next to impossible to find. So, then I stumbled on ACDC and how perfect! It has 0.42%-1.2% of THC and 16-24% CBD! That's about as "high" a CBD strain you can ask for. Well, I'm not one to talk since this is the FIRST I've ever smoked. Anyways, ZERO negative effects, just a very mellow feel. Very happy to have found it. Looking forward to trying more!
