Everyone is different so finding the right ratio is unique to your needs. High THC ratio with little or no CBD can be intoxicating. Low to no THC and high CBD tends to offer little to no psychoactivity.
Understanding CBD to THC Ratios
Have you ever seen numbers like 1:3, 3:1, and 1:30 on your favorite product? Here’s why: these numbers represent the ratio of CBD to THC. Understanding ratios and how to apply them is an important step in figuring out which product or strain is right for you.
What is a High THC Dosing Ratio?
A high THC ratio with little or no CBD can be very psychoactive and provide a noticeable elevated effect. A topical application, however, will not result in a high. These ratios are preferred primarily by recreational users, though individual preferences vary.
Balanced ratios are among the most popular varieties because they offer a broader spectrum of experiences. These even blends are enjoyed by many for both general relaxation and the potential psychoactive properties of THC.
In fact, any ratios that include both THC and CBD, even in small amounts, may activate what is known as the "entourage effect," providing a more holistic cannabis experience compared to isolated cannabinoids.
What is a High CBD Dosing Ratio?
Low to no THC and high CBD mixtures, as well as mixtures that include THC-A, are chosen for their minimal psychoactivity, if any. These ratios are often appealing to those who wish to use cannabis as part of their wellness routines without psychoactive effects. Understanding the dosing ratios associated with THC and CBD can help you refine your cannabis experience and tailor it to your preferences.
