Cannabidiol
Why are high CBD infused medicinal products so much more
expensive, relatively speaking, than
most cannabis infused products?
Answer:
The simple answer is what you would expect. It all comes down to supply and demand. Currently, with the upswing in both anecdotal and scientific
evidence of the true medicinal value of CBD, the demand is increasing more
rapidly than the increase in supply.
Searching for an explanation of the factors contributing to
this condition, I contacted my friend, Martin Lee, author of Smoke Screen,
and Director of Project CBD. I also
discussed this issue with a good friend specializing in developing high CBD
plants and consistently producing pharmaceutical grade concentrates from them.
We agreed on the following factors which all raise the price
of CBD-rich products
1.
Most CBD-rich
plants are relatively low yielding. When
compared to THC-dominant plants, fewer pounds per square foot are produced
growing CBD-rich plants.
2.
Very few consumers of CBD-rich products are using cured
flowers, a vast majority choose products infused with concentrated oils or
waxes.
3.
Concentrating CBD-rich material is low yielding
relative to THC-dominant concentrating.
4.
Most THC-dominant concentrates are made from lower cost
(trim) ingredients, while most serious high CBD concentrators are using bud as
their starting ingredients.
5.
CBD-rich plants are not as ubiquitous as THC-dominant
plants.
6. The
demand for CBD-rich products of all kinds is increasing faster than the demand
for THC-dominant plants and concentrates.
As people come to understand
all the Cannabidiol does we will see an increase in supply and competition
which would hopefully lower the inflation

From their site:
Project CBD
provides educational resources for physicians, patients, and the general
public. We respond to inquiries from all over the world. Almost everyone wants
to know where to get CBD and
how to use it for maximum benefit. After decades in which only high-THC
cannabis was available in North America and beyond, CBD-rich strains and
products are now accessible to medical users.
