I’m going to ask another silly question... Based in what you mentioned above regarding CBD1 - if you like to get stoned and would like to take advantage of CBD’s increasing the receptors in the brain to prolong that type of high you prefer as well as modulate the effect then perhaps you would grow a strain that delivers the high you like but choose one that also has a certain level of CBD? I have completely ignored CBD, and I am in for growing on a small scale so...Exactly! That’s why i asked about watts from the wall - i dont know anything about how the manufacturers sell their products, just that the wats they cite are very often not Watts from the wall
Thanks Gray for jumping in with that!
Let me add the little bit I left out at the end ...
*So CBD has at least 5 ways of modulating the effects of THC and other cannabinoids:
- Via peripheral cannabinoid receptors
- via secondary cannabinoid receptors
- via the opioid and serotonin receptors
- by increasing CB1 receptors in the brain
- by increasing the circulation of anandamide
I thought that little section was in there, but i missed it yesterday - it goes right at the end.
The part about increasing CB1 receptors in the brain is really important. One of the things CBD can do is also lengthen the time that THC is actively effective for and that ties in to that effect I think. SO it can modulate the effects and increase their duration as well.
To follow up a little bit and bring this back to meet the conversation about CBG, I did some preliminary searches on CBG and it’s activity at the CB1 &CB2 receptors and found this article for starters - which I am in no way up to reading at the moment! The research is happening out there tho
