Traditionally cannabis has THC levels of 12-21% and CBD levels of 0.1% to 0.3%.  However some varieties have now been cultivated with much higher CBD levels.

CBD has a number of important properties, it can help with relaxation and nausea, reduce anxiety and improve sleep.  CBD varieties may allow users to medicate themselves yet still think clearly and function well.

For recreational users, the new CBD varieties may be a less intense but equally pleasurable alternative to traditional varieties.
