what kind of Cannabis ist this ?

[Mazat]

this plant was at the gardener's greenhouse last night and we took it with us. it smells like a bit like cannabis and there was only described cbd on the pot.

we took a broken leaf for tea mixed with mint leaves in the evening 

we didn't notice much except that we could fall asleep immediately.

i had never smoked before because I suffered from asthma as a child and then as a teenager. It disappeared after the age of 30.

[Mazat]

it doesn't smell strong at all. jasminoides polyanthum is massively stronger in smell, okay it is still flowering at the moment ...

Sabine has now planted it so that it has direct sunlight

what we two always come across is exciting

Hard to say whilst green. Perhaps dry and roll a few leaves for analytical purposes?

that's a good idea with the leaves, Sean.
thank you very much for this good idea.
or just wait until it flowers.

the plant has grown a lot since it has been here.

I have not yet received the findings from the laboratory as to which species it is...

in tea before going to bed it has a calming effect after 10 minutes of infusion. once or twice a week in the evening is enough for us.

it seems to be a milder variant

Well you wont see many in gardens in Australia. It’s the one plant that is persecuted to the maximum in Australia. With law enforcement using helicopters seasonally to fly over your house with a deafening sound scaring the living daylights out everyone and everything, looking for cannabis plants, it’s rude and an invasion of privacy. It is a medicine and should be treated as such. But by all means let it flower and enjoy a plant from the gods!

If that is a CBD variety it has been bred specifically to have almost no psychoactive THC content, meaning you won’t get high. It will just have a higher concentration of CBD, which is the medicinal component, which can be used to help various ailments.

However people generally consume the flowers/buds, rather than the leaves or stems, as they have almost no CBD or THC content. Wait until the plant actually flowers properly and is finished growing, then make edibles with the buds. You will get much more of a medicinal effect from the flowers once they are ready.

I personally smoke high THC strains for recreational purposes. I don’t really need it for medicinal reasons and CBD varieties are not available really on the black market here anyway. I have been meaning to stop smoking and move to edibles, since smoking anything is bad for you obviously, but edibles are also less practical. If CBD was available here, I would maybe use it.

I actually used to guerrilla grow it here, but it is too risky for me nowadays due to the legality of it. One of my plants shown below, from maybe 2017…

Beautiful specimens you have

many thanks for the interesting 

informations.

i have a friend who was an extremely good footballer and a talent who was on the radar of professional clubs in our top league when he was 18.

however, he always had problems with his parents, for whom his performances were never good enough and so he took drugs out of frustration, after which and following various injuries he had to give up his dream of playing professional football.

he was really strong, technically outstanding and also physically very good.

Today he's doing well and he still has the technique😄

 

On the way back I met a gardener who knows Sabine well and spoke to her about the cannabis plant we have.

She thinks the same as you, that it is a cbd plant. Another nursery had a big promotion but also got a lot of negative feedback from customers about why they are starting to sell it now, it's drugs and so on....

cbd is legal by law according to her here in Switzerland.

yes, that really is an intervention.

yes Richard, we will let it bloom and enjoy it.

Many thanks Ben also for the detailed tips on how the medicinal effect can be better achieved with the flowers.

the gardener also takes it partly in her free time, because of her back. she is really well built and strong, but it is really soothing and relaxing

So just to clarify, CBD extract that you can legally obtain here in the UK and in many other countries is just that, a non psychoactive compound, used for medicinal purposes. It is usually vaped, or administered orally as a spray. The liquid has been refined so that it is 100% CBD and 0% THC. Hence why it is legal.

Whereas the actual plants, even if they are a CBD type plant, are going to contain some THC. Usually it is like 5% CBD and 1-2% THC. However because of that, growing any cannabis plants is illegal in most countries or states. If it is illegal where you are to grow ‘weed’, then it also means CBD type plants are illegal too.

A cannabis plant is a cannabis plant. The same way that a tomato plant is a tomato plant, despite getting all sorts of different types and colours of tomato, with different amounts of acid and sweetness. But at the end of the day, it is still a tomato plant. The same with cannabis. The cops and the judges won’t distinguish. What I am saying is be careful, if it is illegal in your location.

I only ever grew it outdoors, away from my property, but I stopped growing it about 7-8 years ago now, right around the time that I got into palms/exotics. Ironically growing weed is what got me into all the exotics and palms. It sparked an interest in gardening in general and pushing the boundaries with exotic stuff. So if I never grew weed back then, I maybe wouldn’t be growing palms today or posting on this site. 🤣

i haven't answered you yet, i'm in a kind of summer sleep.
no, of course not when the weather is nice 😁
yes, i or we will be careful.

the plant itself is growing well and we have continued to add a part of a leaf to the tea (peppermint) from time to time.

that's a nice thing that you came to the palms and exotic plants this way. 
i have to say that when I was a teenager and the first time after the soccer game we won, and won big, I remember partying too hard and almost knocking over one of my teammates and friends with his father's expensive mercedes, but completely destroying his father's garden, including the mercedes front (there was a huge theater . ...), including social work for a few days. since then i don't drink alcohol when i have to drive, or only when i don't have to drive and only a little, but i like to eat for life, which you can't tell by looking at me ..., as with my twin sister

Looks more like a male hemp plant—tall, thin leaves, no visible buds, and spacing between nodes gives that away. I’ve had a few grow randomly near ditches looking just like that.

[Mazat]

thank you for the identification, Kennexo. now we know it's a male specimen.

by the way, a belated welcome to the forum from us too 😀

a colleague of mine took a leaf last night for his mother's tea, who sleeps badly when it's so warm in the summer. he told me this afternoon that she slept better through the night for the first time.

I've seen buds like that from hybrids grown outdoors where the light cycle gets weird. Also, color can vary a lot depending on genetics. If it's got that frosty look with a piney or citrus smell, it might pack a punch. I've had similar stuff tested before mixing it with delta 8 distillate for smoother hits in my vape cart. Might be worth checking the terp profile if you're curious.
