Canada has a new drug in addition to medical cannabis, a pharm drug that addresses the issue of cbd at least -- Sativex, it is an oral mouth spray. Approved for MS patients with spasm and chronic pain.

Indica strains are generally higher in cbd and cbn content.

There are around 60 different cannabinoids in cannabis that work together with the thc.
