Yes, the medicinal benefit of mj is in the cannabidiols (CBD) more so than THC, and it doesn't get you high. There are a number of high CBD strains being produced now in Colorado and CA. In New Jersey, which has legalized mj for medicinal use, they only approved 3 strains, all relatively high in THC and very low in CBD, which is nuts. However, they have just approve adding on several new strains, and one is a very high CBD and low THC. It actually got approval for use with children with certain illnesses, like seizures.
