Cannabis Safety Is Unaffected By CBD Content

The cannabis's CBD content does not affect the drug's safety.

FREMONT, CA: The researcher's findings challenge the belief that upper CBD content in cannabis safeguards the user from psychotic experiences and memory problems. The research team has urged policymakers to consider their findings when examining the subject of cannabis for both medicinal and recreational use.  
The researchers invited 46 healthy volunteers to participate in a randomized, double-blind trial. In the trial, each participant inhaled cannabis vapor containing 10mg of THC with varying CBD content (0mg, 10mg, 20mg, or 30mg). The partakers were then needed to satisfy a series of tasks, questionnaires, and interviews intended to measure the consequences of cannabis on their cognitive abilities. The researchers were also required to measure the intensity of any psychotic indications and how pleasurable the users thought the drug.   

The Outcomes of CBD on THC
A research team had before found that pre-emptively taking a strong dose of CDB before using cannabis may lessen some of the side effects of THC, which is the psychoactive element of the drug.  
The current study reviewed the effect of changing the CBD: THC ratio in cannabis. They identified that increasing the dose of CBD did not significantly change the THC's effect on cerebral performance, psychotic symptoms, or how pleasurable the drug experience was. 
None of the CBD content levels they studied protected the volunteers from the acute adverse effects of cannabis, like anxiety, psychotic symptoms, and worse cognitive performance. It also didn't change the intoxication quality in any way.
The single effect of CBD they saw was that as the density of CBD increased, the more the members coughed. They asked volunteers to listen to a favorite song and taste a piece of chocolate each visit. Although cannabis enhanced the pleasurability of music and chocolate compared to when volunteers were serious, CBD had no influence.  
THC and CBD are both cultivated from the same compound in the cannabis plant. This indicates varieties that produce more CBD will naturally be lesser in THC. The researchers suggested that it may be safer for users to select cannabis with CBD: THC ratio since the same amount of cannabis will contain a lower CBD: THC variety. Overall, the researchers advise people who want to avoid the adverse effects of THC to employ less of it.  

Greater CBD content will not lower the negative effects of THC.
These findings are critical to the proceeding debate around the risks of cannabis application. While CBD on its own is famous for having several positive effects in humans, Actually, the doses that are generally present in cannabis it does not safeguard against the adverse effects of THC.
