Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second-most common cannabinoid found in cannabis—trailing only behind tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), though the availability of such products can seem limited in Canada.

High-CBD products are desirable for their non-intoxicating effects and can benefit consumers needing to keep a clear head while also controlling pain, inflammation, or other chronic conditions.

North Star CBD

This sativa-dominant strain from AltaVie contains up to 18% CBD and minimal (0.5 – 0.7%) THC potency. Its floral aroma is owned to a mix of alpha- and beta-pinene terpenes which are known to promote alertness. Meanwhile, myrcene and limonene are responsible for the earthy, fruit notes with a hint of cloves. In addition to dried flower, this strain is available in soft-gel capsules and offers a discreet way to enjoy CBD.

Cannatonic

The exceptionally high-CBD strain grown by BC’s Tantalus Labs can peak at 18% CBD while the THC potency is billed as “close to zero.” Prominent terpenes in this hybrid strain include humulene, pinene, and guaiol which all share a reputation for anti-inflammatory properties and give the sun-grown strain a sweet lemony aroma with earthy cedar undertones.
