Finding Alternative Low-THC Products

Within the plethora of cannabis products, many people find a greater benefit in a low-THC strain and less of an effect in their experience. This trend marks a change in the consumer landscape and perception toward cannabis, from the old “stronger is better” approach, and understanding of cannabis to now a more balanced or functional experience.

What is considered “low-THC” cannabis?

Low-THC strains are one formulation of cannabis (the most common and psychoactive compound in the cannabis plant is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC) that will contain low levels of THC. Low-THC formulations will typically be less than 10% THC, but many formulations are less than 5% THC. The benefit of a low THC formulation is the provision of cannabis and possible therapeutic benefits, without or less of a psychoactive effect. Lowest thc strains appeal to a broad range of consumers; from those who use low amounts, and or simply do not want to become way too “high” and are concerned about withdrawal; experienced users who want to have a functional strain that will allow them to go about their day; and lastly, the medical patients that are utilizing cannabis for the medicinal effect and do not want significant impairment of their cognition.

Some strains and types

The low THC strain market has really grown, and now offers a wide range of different strains that offer a substantial amount of strains that are bred to mirror and retain the beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes, while containing low levels of THC. Some examples of lower-potency strains include:

• ACDC – a CBD-rich strain that typically has under 1% THC and up to 20% CBD ;
• Harlequin – a consistent 5: 2 ratio of CBD to THC that offers mild effects;
• Pennywise – a balanced strain that is generally around 5-8% of both CBD and THC,
• Cannatonic – a strain that is known for providing reliable effects around a 2:1 ratio of CBD;
• Suzy Q – an ultra-lo THC strain that is generally under 1% THC and high in terpenes;
• Charlotte’s Web – known mostly for its low THC (under 0.3%) from hemp derived compounds, and other beneficial compounds.

Benefits of Lower Potency Options

There are many benefits to using lower content THC strains beyond just avoiding overwhelming or strong psychoactive effects. Many people report these strains provide beneficial, improved functionality – keeping a clear mind and productivity while enjoying subtle mood elevation, relaxing effects, or improvement to gentle focus. For people asking “where can I get THC” in a low potency form, it depends on where you are located and whether it is legal in your area. In regulated cannabis markets, a dispensary with regulated products will have labeled low THC options, with staff that are trained to help individuals find appropriate products based on their experience and desired effects, so they can find a product that works for them. Also, the hemp-derived cannabis market has exploded and offers low THC products (<0.3% THC) with other cannabinoids and benefits. In particular, these products occupy a legally gray area making them more available to consumers in areas where traditional cannabis is still prohibited.
