Free the Tree's favorite High CBD - low THC strains

One of the advantages of weed legalization is that the consumer can finally know exactly what they’re buying. As the black market for marijuana grew, it tended to favor strains with a very high THC content to satisfy the “client’s need to be high”. This led to the normalisation of super strong marijuana strains and left a lot of people wondering what are some low THC strains ? Well look no further,  you can scroll down to find our top 10 low THC strains. 

Before we start it’s important to point out that some strains have greatly evolved over the years and despite having the same name, depending on which vendor you buy it from, characteristics may vary.
