If you’re new to medical cannabis, one of the most confusing topics is THC:CBD ratios. Different strains and products list these numbers to show how much THC (the psychoactive compound) and CBD (the non-intoxicating compound) are present in relation to each other.

These are general examples of how we learned to understand them — always consult a cannabis-trained physician or dispensary professional for personalized guidance:

🔹 1:2 (High THC, Low CBD)
Usually high in THC and containing little to no CBD. Often chosen for nighttime use or by those with prior cannabis experience. Examples may include strains like Bubba Kush or Gorilla Glue.

🔹 1:1 (Balanced)
Contains roughly equal parts THC and CBD. Many people in cannabis support groups have described this ratio as helpful for managing discomfort, rest, and emotional balance. A friend once told us a story about a patient using this ratio for brain tumors — an early inspiration for our own research.

🔹 2:1 (More CBD than THC)
Less psychoactive than 1:1, with twice as much CBD as THC. Some people report that it works well during the day while still offering a sense of relief.

🔹 4:1 (High CBD, Low THC)
Four parts CBD to one part THC, with minimal euphoric effects for most users. A strain called Harlequin is often associated with this ratio.

🔹 15:1 or Higher (Very High CBD)
Very high CBD content with little THC. Often mentioned in anecdotal accounts for neurological conditions. A strain called Harley-Tsu is one example. Many people who want the potential benefits of CBD without feeling “high” choose this category.

Everyone’s body chemistry is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. These notes are simply reflections of what we learned through research, online support groups, and personal conversations.

If you are exploring cannabis therapy, we recommend consulting a licensed cannabis doctor or a trusted dispensary professional to determine what might be appropriate for your situation.
