Traces of CBD are found in almost all Cannabis because of multiple different copies of the CBD synthase genes functional or not. And because of the inheritance of THC & CBD at a pair of alleles that makes THC & CBD slightly more complicated then if they shared one allele.

I read a paper (possibly by Mechulom, can’t remember) that was comparing different strains and hash for cannabinoid content. Most definitely the hash had higher percentages of CBD, in some cases more than 4.5 %. Farmers growing and harvesting fields of plants solely for resin production, there was no differentiation for THC and CBD.i've watched "the scientist" documentary a few times.... in it Raphael Mechulom states that in his early tests of hashish he was finding 4.5% - ish CBD, doesn't that imply that CBD was present in at least the plants used to make the hash he was testing... and not at negligible levels either.
so that tells us something, right? that not all drug variety cannabis had all the CBD bred out of it, even by the 1960/70's
Landraces with open pollination, selected for resin production (without favoring THCA as main Cannabinoid) thus some varietals used for traditional hashish production, is relative high in CBDA and when mixed up all together after harvest, prior to sifting one gets a product which is not pure THCA.i've watched "the scientist" documentary a few times.... in it Raphael Mechulom states that in his early tests of hashish he was finding 4.5% - ish CBD, doesn't that imply that CBD was present in at least the plants used to make the hash he was testing... and not at negligible levels either.

Was in CO and was surprised to see the offerings of CBD varieties in the Rec dispensaries. The ones I visited had 2, 3, to 4 types for sale. Maybe it’s for the tourist trade to accommodate medical needs (or for rookies needing a lesser high). Or the hype.
