What is the Charlotte's Web strain?
Charlotte's Web is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 1.0% THC, known for its focused effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Charlotte's Web is a renowned CBD-rich cannabis strain that was specifically developed by the Stanley Brothers of Colorado through crossbreeding a marijuana strain with industrial hemp. Named after Charlotte Figi, a young girl who suffered from Dravet syndrome (a severe form of epilepsy), this strain gained international recognition after dramatically reducing her seizures from hundreds per week to just a handful per month. The strain was originally called 'Hippie's Disappointment' due to its lack of psychoactive effects from its extremely high CBD-to-THC ratio of approximately 20:1. Charlotte's Web became a turning point in medical cannabis acceptance, garnering global attention through CNN documentaries and inspiring legislation in numerous states. The strain features long, tapered buds typical of sativa genetics with olive green leaves, covered in a modest layer of trichomes due to its low THC content. Its significance extends beyond its therapeutic properties, as it has become a symbol of cannabis as medicine and has inspired numerous other CBD-rich strain developments.
