Product details
Origins
Althea THC 20:CBD 1 is extracted from Afghani Skunk and CBD Auto Charlotte’s cannabis strains and has 20% Indica to 80% Sativa ratio. Afghani Skunk is an Indica-leaning hybrid crossed between an Afghan and Skunk #1 and it is easily identified due to its spicy aroma and sweet, fruity flavour.
CBD Charlotte’s Angel was crossed with CBD Auto Compassion Lime to create autoflower genes. Autoflowering means an automatic switch from vegetative growth to the flowering phase. Such cannabis flowers need much less time to grow, as some varieties are ready to harvest in a short 8 weeks after sprouting. Also, autoflowers are compact, which makes them great for indoor growing.
Composition
Althea THC 20:CBD 1 is a medical cannabis oil that offers users a high THC potency. The oil contains 20mg of THC and 1mg of CBD per 1ml. Due to THC content, medical professionals are likely to prescribe to patients who have experience with medical cannabis products.
Once the phytonutrients have been pulled from the cannabis plant, the extract is diluted with MCT oil. Medium-chain triglycerides are saturated fats that are easily digested by the human body, thus speeding up absorption and improving cannabinoid bioavailability. Also, MCT oil is flavourless, tasteless and odourless, so adding this medical cannabis oil to food and drinks won’t affect the taste.
Storage
Storing your cannabis product correctly will prolong its life. Keep it in a cool, dry place and away from sunlight. It’s essential to keep this product (and any cannabinoid product) out of the reach of children and animals.
Dosing guidelines
The guidance provided here is not intended to be medical advice – patients will discuss their dosage guidelines with a medical professional independently before beginning their treatment.
The product can be consumed sublingually or orally. When used sublingually, patients need to place drops underneath the tongue and let them absorb through capillaries in the mouth. This is considered a fast-acting method of administering the active compounds into the system, as the onset time for most people is between 10-20 minutes and the duration of action is from 2 to 4 hours. In comparison, oral administration is long-lasting (the duration of action between 6-10 hours), but the effect can be felt within 1-2 hours after administration.
Like with any medical cannabis products, users should start with a low dose and gradually increase it until finding the optimal dosage.
Extraction
The Althea THC 20:CBD 1 is crafted using the ethanol extraction technique. For this method, the manufacturer uses solvent (alcohol) to isolate cannabinoids and terpenes from the whole plant material. This method is also listed as one of the purest extraction techniques.
