I spent the majority of 2012 in hospitals with two family members fighting cancers. I had a lot of conversations with doctors/nurses and often enough MMJ was discussed. "Off the record", of course. The general consensus was CBDs have many apparent benefits, it was even posited they may inhibit malignant cell formations(further study required). The consensus also was that the THC race to get the most 'chronic' high from a strain is actually eroding the medicinal benefits of MMJ by sacrificing the THC:CBD balance for the greater psychoactive effects. This was a year or two before I saw the documentary on these guys who go the other direction for a non-psychoactive strain( more CBD,less THC). https://www.cwhemp.com/ https://www.cwhemp.com/

Thanks for the link. I know someone too who has greatly benefitted from CBD as well. This is only anecdotal but I've heard that there is a positive relationship between CBD and THC, where for some people/conditions it is helpful to have both

On the other hand, the strain mentioned in this article is famously high in THC.

  I noted that irony. The parents should have been informed of low THC strains, they aren't uncommon. One of the NBC news channels broadcast the documentary on CW nationally and repeatedly. Pertinent info can be hard to find amongst the noise.

What's crazy is CBD is now specially schedule 1, which means it is considered addictive and containing no medical value[1]. So, the THC:CBD ratio appears to be irrelevant from the governments perspective. [1] www.foxnews.com/health/2016/12/20/now-schedule-1-drug-cbd-hemp-oil.amp.html
