You can probably already guess that the more CBD involved in the mix, the less intoxicated you’ll feel and vice versa.
Below you’ll find some of the more common ratios you’re likely to come across. Once you’ve figured out where you comfortably stand on the “highness to sobriety” sliding scale, you can skip on ahead to the How to Mix Hemp With Cannabis section lower down in the article.
CBD:THC – 1:1
A ratio of 1:1 is considered to be the golden ratio of CBD to THC (even according to the scientists!).
If you consume this perfect ratio then you should expect to feel obvious psychoactive effects from the THC.
The high you feel, however, will be considerably less than if you’d consumed no CBD at all and any negative feelings such as paranoia and anxiety will be considerably reduced.
CBD:THC – 2:1
At a two to one ratio, users will still certainly notice a high feeling, but not enough to feel intoxicated or completely overwhelmed by the feeling.
A 2:1 ratio will most likely leave you feeling uplifted and creative, without any negative feelings that may come with THC intoxication.
CBD:THC – 8:1
An 8:1 ratio is perfect for daytime users that need to stay in high functioning mode.
Although a very light high may be felt, there won’t be any impairment to your productivity or functionality.
CBD:THC – 20:1
This ratio has just a very small amount of THC in it and is recommended to first-time cannabis users that wish to enjoy the entourage effects of the two cannabinoids working together, but with absolutely no high feeling at all.
CBD:THC – 1:0
This ratio is effectively describing just the smokable hemp on its own and is the best option for anyone who wants no risk of a high while experiencing the benefits of the hemp plant.
100% CBD hemp flower has become more popular over the past years as a cognitive enhancer and as a way to remedy specific physical, mental and behavioural difficulties. We have listed it as 1:0 although it does in fact contain trace amounts of THC.
