BENEFITS OF CBD
A Guide to the Best CBD Strains
In this article, we’re going to be talking about some of the most effective strains of CBD. For those who don’t know, CBD is derived from the cannabis plant. It is what’s known as “cannabinoid”.
The most famous such substance also comes from cannabis: THC. The difference between CBD and THC comes down to psychoactivity. In short, THC produces psychoactive effects while CBD does not. Perhaps even more importantly, CBD actually counters or suppresses the psychoactive effects produced by THC consumption.
So, if CBD can’t produce the feeling of being high, why are people so excited about it?
The answer is simple: anecdotal evidence and some clinical data have come together to demonstrate that CBD can be highly effective in maintaining health, preventing health complications, and treating many common diseases and maladies.
For example, CBD products have been shown to be effective in treating anxiety, epilepsy, managing stress, battling chronic pain, and dealing with many other health complications.
Adding to the excitement, CBD produces virtually no material side effects and is perfectly safe for both adults and children. And unlike THC rich strains of cannabis, CBD consumption is entirely legal almost everywhere.
And that takes us to the point of the following article: if you’re interested in CBD, which strains should you focus on?
Corazon
This strain is a derivative of AC/DC. The goal in the breeding of Corazon was all about increasing the CBD content relative to the content of THC. The result: a whopping 22.5% CBD content, against just 2.71% in THC.
This is a newcomer, and it hasn’t established the widespread brand among CBD users. Hence, if you’re looking for user reviews, you may come up short.
Sour Tsunami
This strain is awfully interesting. It was specially bred for extreme CBD potency. In fact, it’s rather balanced. The CBD concentration is around 10 to 11%, which compares with around 10% in THC.
As with any balanced strain, the THC here can have a positive impact for those looking to counter symptoms including pain and anxiety. And the CBD content helps one stay focused and also counteracts the psychoactive impact of the THC.
As far as we understand it, this is a derivative of the crossbreeding between NY Diesel and Sour Diesel. As far as user experience, the bouquet has been described as woody with pine accents that flows into a citrus and sour aftertaste in the best possible way.
Valentine X
This is another relatively balanced strain, with this CBD content coming in at around 18%, but plenty of accessible THC as well.
In other words, it’s not uncommon for this one to produce some euphoria, but that doesn’t distract from its ability to treat a wide range of conditions through its high CBD content, including the management of unwanted pain as a result of cancer, or controlling symptoms related to depression, stress, epilepsy, inflammation, and nausea.
The name of this strain is a no mosh to epilepsy – St. Valentine is widely known as the patron saint of the epileptic community. Hence, the fact that it’s been shown to be effective as a tool for battling epilepsy should come as no surprise.
Critical Mass
If you’re looking for a crossbred strain that has its roots in Skunk and Afghani Indica, then you found it in Critical Mass.
Note that this is a difficult crossbreeding process the demand special equipment, special conditions, and expertise. Hence, it provides an excellent starting place for those new to cultivation, because so much of the hard work is already been done for you.
As far as potency, this strain has been known to feature as much as 22% in CBD content. Its principal application has been in the alleviation of aches and pains. And this comes from the fact that it also has a relatively rich content in THC.
If you’re trying this one out, it might be wise to do so when at home and after the majority of the work is done for the day.
Cannatonic
This is another hybrid that features a suppressed level of THC (just 6%). This is imbalanced nicely by a powerful pop of CBD that can range as high as 17%.
The taste has been often described as having a citrus zing and is renowned for dealing with issues such as migraines, spasms, stress, and even nausea.
Users report an improved sense of focus in tandem with a state of physical relaxation.
Ringo’s Gift
This is an awfully interesting strain: users report boosted energy, focus, and cognitive acumen. CBD content in this one can range between 15 and 20% (up to 75% under vaping conditions).
It is renowned for its ability to function as a treatment for Parkinson’s, arthritis, G.I. disorders, spasms, and migraines.
It also features one of the most refreshing flavor bouquets: often described as spicy, minty, and with overtones of pepper.
AC/DC
AC/DC is a classic champion of the space. It has been a long-time favorite for many connoisseurs of CBD, and still remains a strong brand in the space today.
This is actually a hybrid strain. It scores a 20:1 ratio in CBD strength, and yet still manages to deliver a flavorful bouquet that many users find delightful.
AC/DC is a member of the Sativa-Indica family and is bred through resin seeds. It’s an excellent choice for those focused on potency in their CBD selection.
Charlotte’s Web
This one is hard-core in the direction of CBD for cannabis – it features a THC content under 0.3%. This makes it perfect for those who wish to get all of the health benefits of CBD with none of the psychoactive effects of THC.
Of all those strains of CBD on the market that feature essentially a complete lack of THC, this is the one that is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of potency and efficacy. This is why it should be no surprise that it is often cited as a favorite for some of the most experienced and selective users of CBD.
It has also developed a reputation as the perfect choice for those wishing to use CBD to treat health conditions in children. Specifically, it has shown success in the treatment of Dravet syndrome, PTSD, and epilepsy, among other conditions.
Stephen Hawking Kush
This strain is derived from a combination of Sin City Kush with Harle-Tsu, and has demonstrated particular efficacy in treating conditions marked by involuntary muscular contractions and spasms, such as muscular dystrophy, ALS, and multiple sclerosis.
This is a highly relaxing strain that produces the effects of something like a mild sedative.
Delivering the minty, fruity flavor, it can produce a serene state that won’t detract from productivity even during hard-working hours.
Harlequin
This is an interesting strain that is generally characterized as being good for increased mental energy, alertness, and focus, but still helping to reduce physical pain along the way.
The CBD THC ratio has been has been cited as 10:4, which is interesting for strain dominated by a Sativa bloodline. It all adds up to a very useful tool in the CBD toolbox that comes in the package of a musky and mango flavor.
Strains High in CBD and Low in THC
- KC Virtus (HU)
- KC Zuzana (HU)
- KC Dora (HU)
- Tiborszallasi (HU)
- Monoica (HU)
- Fibrol (HU)
- Antal (HU)
- Kompolti (HU)
Above, you will see a list of strains that are potent in terms of CBD content but light on THC. For those interested in using CBD as a treatment or supplement solution, but live in a place where THC rich strains are illegal or wish to avoid any chance of psychoactive effects, these represent a great place to start.
At this point, the CBD market is yet to mature. No doubt, we will see huge progress in the years to come, and this list will be much larger. But right now, it’s important to be selective because there are many players in this industry that are just out to make a quick buck. In other words, there are many strains that are reliable in terms of their content.
That’s why you should always do your due diligence: it’s important to understand just exactly what it is you’re buying, and what you’re putting in your body. This is a largely unregulated market, which places the responsibility on the consumer.
Why BevCanna May Already Have Pole Position for the Coming Cannabis Beverage Craze
New Opportunity: BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:BEV) (OTC:BVNNF)
- Leader/Innovator in Emerging multi-billion-dollar Cannabis-Infused Beverage space
- Recently announced coming transition to full commercial-stage operations in coming months
- Set to become Canada’s largest organic outdoor cannabis cultivator
- World-class bottling facility about to receive full cannabis-infused bev production license
- Launching in California and Canada with Sales ramping in Q3
The big Cannabis-infused product bull market of 2019 didn’t exactly pan out like so many had believed following the landmark US Farm Bill, momentum from regulatory authorities, and a spate of high-profile Fortune 500 JV moves (ie Molson Coors and HEXO, Altria and CRON, Constellation Brands and Canopy, etc) that seemed to suggest the writing was on the wall for this transformational trend to get in gear.
What happens when everyone gets excited about a big investment theme too early? That’s right! A destructive and painful bear market. This has been story for the whole cannabis space for the past year.
However, given a purging in the pot stock space and new regulatory measures now in place for cannabis-infused beverages in Canada and California, the explosive trend in cannabis beverages can now take flight.
We believe two points are key here for investors: 1. Cannabis-infused beverage leadership investments will be far superior to non-beverage plays in the cannabis sector because of the higher barrier to entry in terms of facilities, expertise, and regulatory hurdles, and 2. BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) (CSE:BEV) is likely to emerge as the big speculative winner this year in that niche given a number of inherent advantages and a proactive production ramping process that has already started to take hold.
As the cannabis space heals, BevCanna is supremely positioned to assume a leadership role in a space that is defined more by new adopters than by long-time cannabis consumers. Growth is being driven by new cannabis consumers exploring the marketplace given the expanded legality of cannabis. And new cannabis consumers are, on the margin, more likely to choose new ways of consuming cannabis – ie, many don’t want to smoke it.
According to Brightfield Group researchers, cannabis-infused beverages will represent one of the fastest growing segments of the overall cannabis product complex over the next 10 years. Fior Markets found that the global cannabis beverages market could generate $4.57 billion by 2025. Companies delivering cannabis drinks in Canada in 2020 will be set up for market dominance over the next 5-10 years as the trend takes flight.
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) (CSE:BEV) shares are perfectly positioned to capitalize on this trend, which makes the company a likely candidate for some M&A chatter as cannabis-infused beverages expand to conquer the North American consumer this year.

BevCanna’s Inherent Advantages
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:BEV, OTCMKTS:BVNNF) bills itself as an emerging leader in infused beverage manufacturing. The company develops and manufactures cannabinoid-infused beverages and consumer products for in-house brands and white label clients.
BVNNF has been in development-stage operations since IPO-ing last summer. According to recent company communications, the stage is set for a rapid transformation to full commercial-stage operations, with sales likely to hit full volume in Canadian and California markets starting in Q3 of this year.
The company runs a 40k sq ft HACCP certified manufacturing facility, with a current bottling capacity of up to 210M bottles per annum.
The facility is state-of-the-art, with the capability of producing custom bottle form factors and water-soluble cannabinoids. This opens up an immediately obvious leadership potential for white-label product development to complement the company’s in-house brands.
The company also has access to a 100+ acre outdoor cultivation site with an on-site natural spring aquifer.
The team is also a top-draw, with former leaders at Vega, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and other top disruptive brands and companies in the functional beverage and wellness markets and highly-regulated markets, as well as veterans from Goldman Sachs, Frito Lay, and General Mills. So, they know how to commercialize into big market opportunities.
In other words, this is a company with a world-class facility and a world-class team. And they will be receiving their cannabis-infused beverage production license very soon (They already have the research and cultivation licenses).
There’s a high regulatory barrier to entry for the cannabis-infused beverage space. That will keep competition suppressed, leaving the big profits to be made those specialist players with the resources, equipment, expertise, and regulatory clearance to dominate this high-growth market niche.
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (OTCMKTS:BVNNF) (CSE:BEV) may be the best of breed the publicly traded markets right now among companies that meet all of these criteria. More to the point, the company is on track to have some of the first cannabis-infused beverages on the market as this phase of the cannabis revolution just gets off the ground.
Recent Catalysts
The Company recently announced that it is significantly expanding its manufacturing premises in anticipation of receiving its standard processing license and initiating full-scale commercialization this year.
In other words, they’re about to gain access to a massive and thriving market looking for cannabis-infused beverages. And the company wants to be ready to soak up every dime of potential sales right out of the gate. So these folks, being experienced business leaders, are getting ready to meet that demand with an increased capacity to produce product supplies when the bell rings and the government says “Go!”.

“This expansion is an exciting step for BevCanna,” said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. “We expect to receive our standard processing license imminently, and we’re preparing to initiate full-scale production in the coming months. We’ve seen a fantastic consumer and industry response to the upcoming Canadian beverage market, and this development ensures that we have capacity and full product offerings to fulfil the anticipated demand.”
Just before that, the company announced that it has entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA FSE: 1WZ:GR OTC: PEMTF), to exclusively distribute BevCanna’s hemp-derived products in the European market.
That followed the company’s announcement that it is working with partner Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (Nextleaf) (CSE:OILS, OTCQB:OILFF, FSE:L0MA), to employ their nano-delivery technology in BevCanna’s upcoming lines of cannabis-infused beverages. BevCanna will have the exclusive rights to commercialize this unique technology, giving the company yet another edge as a market leader in white label services.
According to the release, Nextleaf, BevCanna’s exclusive provider of water-soluble cannabinoids, has completed its acquisition of the intellectual property pertaining to the nano-delivery of cannabinoids. The acquisition includes the foundational processing methodology and two water-soluble formulations. Nextleaf intends to seek patent protection around the acquired IP and to partner with BevCanna to develop a new patent family around infused beverages.
“The IP allows consumers to feel the desired effect from cannabis-infused beverages in under 10 minutes,” said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. “We’re eager to commercialize this innovative technology in Canada; and to act as the exclusive beverage commercialization partner, through BevCanna’s branded and white-label cannabis-infused beverages.”
Looking ahead, the company expects to receive its full license imminently, and then begin full commercial operations. In other words, this is the most exciting time to come across this stock: right in front of its most dramatic and market-moving catalysts, including full-licensing, initial product shipment, expanding sales, expanding markets, topline growth, and everything that analysts and investors typically scan for when hunting new speculative opportunities.
Right now, you have a chance at it ahead of that crowd.
Technical Analysis
One of the key points to make here is the stock’s relative strength. The cannabis equity sector has been destroyed over the past 6-12 months, and many are still in crash mode. At the same time, BVNNF shares show clear evidence of a major accumulation bid likely by smart money working to expand exposure ahead of the coming parade of high-profile catalysts just ahead for the stock.
Shares are sitting above major moving averages, but well-consolidated and ready for a potential next-leg higher if trendline resistance above the $0.33-0.35 area is cleared. This breakout would be very well supported given the nature of the stock’s basing process, which came on rising volume and bullish divergence on MACD.

CBD has been with us for hundreds of years, used by ancients as a natural remedy for a lot of common ailments. It is only one of more than a hundred chemical compounds found in the hemp or cannabis plant. CBD-infused products like CBD oil, CBD softgel capsules, CBD cream, and others have become appealing alternatives for people seeking relief.
CBD oil gets extracted from the hemp plant, then diluted with a carrier oil such as hemp seed or coconut oil. It’s fast becoming popular in wellness and health circles as an option in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety, and other symptoms brought about by certain disorders.
The benefits of CBD
Because of CBD’s vast variety and reach, it’s used in various mediums of treatment. Like any other medication introduced to the body, your body needs time for adjustment. CBD can help with symptoms but don’t expect overnight results.
It’s generally recommended to use CBD between 30 to 60 days before witnessing any significant impact. If you decide to try CBD, here are some benefits to look forward to:
• Pain relief
Research has shown that CBD has analgesic properties. This means it’s effective for pain relief. When introduced into the body, CBD can impact the endocannabinoid system’s receptor activity resulting in the reduction of inflammation and the interaction with neurotransmitters.
• Stress relief
In this modern age, many people have experienced feeling overworked or over-booked and this affects their abilities to prioritize through the chaos. In simpler words, they feel stressed.
This is where CBD oil can help as using it can ease the anxieties and worries of everyday life. When used, CBD can calm the nerves which, in turn, allows us to focus more on the tasks at hand.
• Improve sleep
CBD may support our need for a deeper and more restful sleep by reducing chronic anxiety, pain, and the other challenges which prevent us from falling into a deep sleep. Its use can diminish REM sleep disorder too. REM during deep sleep paralyzes the body. This inhibits physical reactions to dreams.
• May help reduce depression and anxiety
Two of the most common mental health problems plaguing the world today are depression and anxiety, both of which can have a devastating impact on one’s health and well-being. Many have attested that the use of CBD oil as effective in the treatment of these disorders. Many are now showing interest in CBD as a natural approach to get back a semblance of normalcy in their lives.
CBD also has anti-depressant properties and these have been linked to its ability to act on the brain’s serotonin receptors, a neurotransmitter compound that regulates social behavior and mood.
• Improve the health of your skin
Today, we find so many lotions, body butter, and hydrating products available in drugstores but are these the right products to reach the moisture levels the body thirsts for? Maybe, but a sure option that can quench such thirst is CBD oil or CBD cream. This is a powerful topical which can help the skin maintain optimal skin moisture.
• It’s non-addictive
Another great quality of CBD is that it’s non-addictive. This means you can keep using the same dose in your treatment without worrying about feeling craving for more. As a matter of fact, the more you use it, the better the results. The body doesn’t build up a tolerance to CBD.
Speak with your doctor about using CBD
There’s continuing research on CBD’s potential role in alleviating pain and other symptoms of common health issues. It might even end up as a natural alternative in the treatment of pain. As research goes on, expect the discovery of new therapeutic and medical uses for this compound.
There’s much more to discover about the safety and efficacy of CBD products. But based on the most recent studies, it’s suggested that CBD may provide a powerful and safe treatment for several prevailing health issues. This is especially true if you purchase your CBD products from high-quality manufacturers like Greenleaf Farms.
BENEFITS OF CBD
What Works Best for Treating Pain with CBD Tincture, Soft gels or Creams? #CBD Tincture #Best All Organic CBD Cream
Cannabidiol (CBD) products such as oils and topicals have become a popular natural remedy for pain. While research is still underway, first-person accounts of the benefits are taking the world by storm.
New products are popping up in every direction you look from CBD oil and CBD tinctures to CBD cream and CBD soft gel capsules. So, no matter your preference, there is a form of CBD to help you treat your pain. Treating pain and inflammation is part of the many benefits that CBD offers the user. Let’s take a deeper look into CBD and pain:
What is CBD and will it make me high?
Many people are skeptical of using CBD as a remedy because of the connotations that come with using a compound that comes from the cannabis or hemp plant. In fact, CBD is the non-intoxicating compound of the cannabis plant and will not make you ‘high’ as if you were smoking marijuana.
The more well-known compound of the plant, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is what creates the high. Some CBD oils carry trace amounts (less than 0.3%) of THC. However, oils derived from hemp rather than cannabis do not contain any THC and these are legal in all 50 states across the USA.
How CBD works to reduce pain
When it comes to CBD and pain, this affects the endocannabinoid system in the human body. The endocannabinoid system creates endocannabinoids (its own cannabinoids). The system receives and translates signals from the endocannabinoids and any cannabinoids from CBD products throughout the body.
The endocannabinoid system regulates a variety of functions in the human body. These include immune system responses, sleep and most notably, pain. While CBD does not directly affect the endocannabinoid system according to available research, it does initiate the activation or inhibitions of certain compounds in the body.
CBD in the body can cause a reduction in the absorption of anandamide, a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate pain. Thus, CBD will cause the body to absorb less anandamide, increasing levels in the bloodstream, leading to relief from pain.
The effects of CBD on inflammation to treat pain
Inflammation is the body’s protective response against harmful stimuli. Inflammation is often accompanied by pain, redness and swelling. By treating the cause of the inflammation, you can relieve the pain you might be feeling.
This is one of the most popular ways that CBD is being used as a natural alternative remedy. Since inflammation is one of the body’s immune responses, it is regulated by the endocannabinoid system. So, once again, CBD interacts with neuroreceptors in the body to deliver an anti-inflammatory effect.
By reducing areas of inflammation in the body, CBD can, therefore, help to relieve the pain caused by inflammation. Sometimes the body triggers inflammation when there is no harm done to the body, such as in the case of many autoimmune diseases. CBD oil can greatly help remedy the symptoms of these diseases.
Finding quality CBD products
When using CBD products to relieve pain, you want to find a high-quality CBD product. Be sure to check the details of the oil, tincture or topical that you intend to buy. You want to look for information such as the THC percentage and ensure it is a hemp-derived CBD (especially if you live in a state that has not yet legalized marijuana).
Purchasing your CBD products from a trusted supplier like Greenleaf Farms will ensure that you are receiving a high-quality product. Their hemp is grown under the perfect conditions with no pesticides or herbicides used.
When purchasing from a trusted supplier, it generally comes with the guarantee that you are receiving a pure and authentic CBD to treat and relieve your pain and inflammation. You can also rest easy knowing that your CBD product has been produced with care and your health in mind.
