CBD strainsCBD-dominant cultivars · cannabinoid ratio category

CBD-dominant strains are cultivars whose lab-certified cannabinoid profile shows cannabidiol (CBD) as the primary cannabinoid by percentage, with THC content lower than the strain-typical range. Washington categorizes these as standard cannabis products when they exceed the 0.3% THC threshold that separates state-licensed cannabis from federally-defined hemp, so they’re sold through licensed dispensaries like ours under the same WSLCB framework as any other adult-use product.

We’ve carried CBD-dominant strains since the medical-collective days before I-502 — we opened on Rainier Ave S in 2010, and the CBD section was already a category that long-time customers asked for. The shelf carries CBD-dominant flower from Washington growers who select for high-CBD phenotypes (lineages like Harlequin, ACDC, and Cannatonic are recurring names in this category), alongside tinctures, edibles, and topicals from producers who isolate or co-extract CBD from cannabis input material.

CBD-dominant product formats on the menu include cured flower at varying THC:CBD ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:5+ are common ladder rungs), pre-rolls where the grower has bagged high-CBD flower, tinctures with stated CBD-per-mL doses, edibles with stated CBD-per-serving doses, and topicals (balms, salves) infused with CBD-dominant extract. Pricing tracks the producer + format ladder consistent with the rest of the store.

Customers ask about CBD-dominant strains for a wide range of reasons, but we don’t make therapeutic or medical claims on this page or at the counter — any individual response depends on the specific product, ratio, dose, and route. The budtender team will read through grower and producer notes with you and explain ratio terminology, but we’re not a clinical setting and we don’t advise on conditions. For medical-cannabis use, the Washington Medical Marijuana Authorization program is a separate state pathway your provider can walk you through.
