Charlotte's Web Strain Review – High-CBD, Low-THC Cannabis is Perfect for MMJ Users

Potency
The Charlotte's Web strain (also called “Charlottes Web” or “Charlotte Web” strain) is Sativa-dominant weed with extremely high CBD levels – 17%. The hybrid is known for its low potency, containing only 4.2-6.2% THC. It was bred in Colorado in 2011 by crossing a cannabis strain with industrial hemp with the intention to obtain a high-CBD but low-THC cultivar. The strain was named after Charlotte Figi, a young girl who suffered from epilepsy seizures and didn’t respond to standard treatment. The genetics of Charlotte's Web is unknown, but the strain helped the girl and other patients with similar medical disorders find relief from the debilitating symptoms. Except for tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, Charlotte's Web contains other chemical compounds such as:
- CBC 0.32-0.92%
- CBG 0.12-0.86%
- CBN 0.1-0.29%
- THCV 0.22-0.66%
This non-intoxicating cultivar is often called Hippie’s Disappointment or Boring because of its inability to provide cerebral high. Before consuming this medical marijuana, people should consult a doctor.
Typical Terpenes and Aromas
The Charlotte's Web weed strain has a light and pleasant smell that reminds users of pine aromas mixed with woody notes. The myrcene and terpineol terpenes are responsible for this combo of fresh scents. There are also citrus (mainly lemon) notes to enjoy. Brought by pinene, they are pretty noticeable on the exhale.
Most Common Effects of the Charlotte's Web Strain
As one of the most popular medical cultivars, the strain is consumed to alleviate pain symptoms, minimize epilepsy seizures, and control various neuropathic conditions. It is known to bring calm and soothing relaxation. The mellow high provides an uplifted sense and general mood improvement that makes people happy for hours. It offers temporary relief to patients who try to fight with:
- Chronic stress
- Inflammation
- Multiple sclerosis
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle spasms
- Headache
Some consumers report Charlottes Web strain consumption helps them focus and enjoy the surrounding world. The high CBD amount stimulates serotonin-related receptors and can be beneficial for various psychological issues like insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
As with any medicine, some possible adverse effects are associated with the Charlotte's Web strain. If used improperly, it may cause:
- Thirst and dry mouth
- Dizziness
- Dry eyes
- Anxiety
- Paranoia
Growth Data
The breeders of Charlotte's Web didn’t make the strain’s seeds available for commercial sale. Only select individuals have access to authentic seeds to cultivate. However, growers can get their hands on clones by obtaining plant clippings. The strain’s growth difficulty is rated as moderate. Due to hemp genetics, the cultivar can thrive even in harsh conditions. Indoor shrubs amount to 60’’-80’’ in stature, and outdoor plants can be more than 90’’. They flower over 50-64 days. The harvest is expected in 68 days. The crops are average, with 0.5-1 oz./ft2 as an indoor return and 10-15 oz./plant as an outdoor return. Charlotte's Web pistils lack trichomes, usually THC-laden, and are not sticky.
