Balanced cannabis products have a higher CBD content and lower THC. Not every cannabis experience needs to be THC to the max, these products offer a more subtle effect.

Balanced products can be useful for new consumers, as CBD may counteract some of the psychoactive effects of THC. They’re not just for newbies either! Many consumers find balanced strains and products more chill and productive.

While not always a perfectly balanced 1:1 ratio, there are all kinds of higher CBD products that still contain a decent THC percentage. Ratios of 2:1 and 3:1 are in abundance, so you can find what works for you.

Take a look below for some of the best flower, vape, and extract products with a balanced mix of THC and CBD.

Black Widow CBD

Dose: 4% – 10% THC / 6% – 12% CBD

Delicate like the notorious spider it’s named after, Black Widow CBD’s light dose of CBD and THC is balanced as perfectly as an hourglass.

The taste and aroma give off a woodsy and piney scent, with alpha-pinene and beta-caryophyllene prominently displayed in the strain’s terpene profile.

This strain from Divvy brings high quality at a great price point, which makes it one of the top flower options for balanced products.

Simply twist the cap and let the distillate slide out to be placed inside a joint, on top of a bong bowl or on any food you want to infuse quickly.

Each drop carries the same amounts of THC and CBD in it, so you can accurately measure your dose with ease. 

Pennywise 1:1

Pure Sunfarms has knocked it out of the park with the quality of their THC products at budget price points and their balanced Pennywise cultivar carries that same high standard.

Mango Haze is a hit with fans of balanced strains. If you haven’t tried this one from Kiwi Cannabis, it’ll quickly make its way into your regular product rotation. The buds are well-trimmed and crystally with gleaming orange hairs throughout.

Mango Haze strikes a perfect balance of THC and CBD in its dense buds. The rich terpene profile is fruity, but also a bit spicy thanks to beta-caryophyllene and beta-pinene. 

Dancehall
