First pick: Cherry Wine

Cherry Wine is a hemp cultivar, not a high-THC cannabis strain. Third-party lab reports for Cherry Wine flower show 12% to 20% CBD and 0.3% THC or less by dry weight. The 0.3% figure is the US legal ceiling for hemp. Terpenes: myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene. Aroma: cherry, cedar, black pepper. At that THC level the flower does not cause intoxication.

Pick it for a long lab record and a mild smell. Skip it if you want a strong pine or citrus nose.

Reading the lab report

Check three numbers: total CBD, total THC (delta-9 plus THCA), and the test date. A report older than 12 months may not match the current batch. Total THC above 0.3% means the lot is not legal hemp in the US.

The FDA has approved one cannabis-derived drug, Epidiolex, for specific seizure disorders. It has not approved over-the-counter CBD for any medical claim.
