With no mention of CBD, I wouldn't pay much attention to this. I'm not trying to argue the "entourage effect". Rather both chemicals are doing something so if you're only measuring one you're not getting the full picture.

    Also, CBD and THC interact with each other. I remember reading an article about how CBD reduces the negative effects caused by THC.

    That article you mention was the main line of thinking behind my comment. THC alone is different than THC + CBD and if the whole point is to have a number like alcohol, then you should list both. I've even seen people advocate for the specific terpene amounts as well, but I don't know if there's science supporting those having distinct effects(not doubting - just not wanting to make a claim I can't back)

    For those who don't know what the fuck we're talking about: CBD is likely to reduce symptoms associated with paranoia, anxiety, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (exacerbated by THC).

    Of course there's an argument to be made that the association is more to do with the exponential rise in THC potency over the last few decades, which is true, weed is danker than it has ever been, but the scientists who research this shit said "nah CBD is still a pretty cool guy".
