Light cannabis is a type of sativa hemp rich in cannabidiol (CBD) and with low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). In recent years, it has become increasingly popular thanks to its therapeutic properties and possible medical applications.
But the credit also goes to new laws that now allow the sale of hemp-derived products if the THC content is below 0.6%.
The origins of light cannabis
Light cannabis originates from the selection of different species of sativa hemp: the crosses aim to reduce the THC content and increase the CBD content. This process has led to the creation of numerous light cannabis buds, each with unique characteristics in terms of flavor, aroma, and effects on the body and mind.

Each described bud has unique characteristics in terms of flavor, aroma, and effects. The light cannabis market is constantly growing and offers a wide variety of products beyond the buds, such as oils, edible capsules, incenses, and supplements. This has led to increased competition among producers who continue to develop new varieties and improve the quality of the products offered.
It is important to remember that cannabis legislation varies depending on the location, so it is advisable to inquire before purchasing and using these products. Before starting to use light cannabis for therapeutic purposes a health professional's advice is recommended, as there may be interactions with other medications or pre-existing medical conditions.
