Indicas don't contain roughly equal amounts of THC and CBD -- the difference between the two is at least an order of magnitude. An exemplar indica might have 20% THC and 1.5% CBD, which would be considered an extremely high level of CBD. Your main point is still valid though, I just wanted to make the relative quantities clear. Some nonspecific examples of tested strain concentration: https://budgenius.com/strains.html?tab=0&high_rating=0&sleep_aid=0&pain_relief=0&nausea_relief=0&anxiety_relief=0&appetite_stimulation=0&location=&coordinates=&radius=10 https://budgenius.com/strains.html?tab=0&high_rating=0&sleep...

Many strains according to this site of yours certainly seem to contain significantly more than 1.5% CBD. Ditto this study: http://www.amjbot.org/content/91/6/966.full http://www.amjbot.org/content/91/6/966.full ... which doesn't include any modern US strains but provides strong support for the idea that there are plants with large amounts of both CBD and THC. I actually may have made a separate mistake... >Elevated levels of CBDV and/or THCV were much more common in plants of C. indica than in plants of C. sativa. Plants with elevated levels of THCV, sometimes exceeding THC, were detected in all four biotypes of C. indica, but not in all accessions. So my memory has failed me, or the common-wisdom I absorbed: Cannabis indica contains more of both THC and CBD than Cannabis sativa, but also contains larger amounts (and proportion) of the antagonist homologue THCV. And modern strains are all really hybrids anyway.

  Hmm, to be honest, I've never encountered any strain above 1.5% or so CBD, so that takes me by surprise, a bit. I also have access to a fairly diverse selection of MMJ options in a permissive state, so I'm surprised I haven't seen any strains like that. Learn something new every day, I suppose. I appreciate the info - I'll keep on the look out.
