Moby Dick CBD: Another Step in Dinafem’s Evolution towards CBD

  • We present the new Moby Dick CBD, an iconic strain from our catalogue, this time enriched with CBD, delivering medicinal properties while maintaining the same flavour and production characteristics.
  • In a short time Moby Dick has quickly become a leading strain of marijuana in the international medical cannabis sector, this version having been created to deliver a solution to those seeking a recreational variety with limited side effects. This is the philosophy that we have followed at Dinafem to produce this seed.

Why have we released Moby Dick CBD?

Moby Dick owes its success to its exceptional genetics. Its mother, a Jack Herer that we selected 15 years ago, makes it a plant with a very high production level and serious strength, which is what has seduced the regular marijuana grower. The next step was to obtain a medical version of this strain, to also supply the therapeutic segment of consumers, a potential market that just keeps on growing. At Dinafem we have come to appreciate CBD more and more, and are working to lead the way in this field of medical cannabis. Thus, it made a lot of sense to cross our signature strain with a therapeutic one, allowing us to really dive into this endeavour.

This seed's development was carried out with the people at CBD Crew, a medical seed bank that agreed to include a couple of its genetics in our catalogue. Then we thought: why don't we make our own? One of the first options we considered was Moby Dick CBD, because it is ultra-productive, and when it comes to cannabis with CBD, production is also important. Moreover, it is a very popular Dinafem strain. Everything came together, and in the spring of 2015 Moby Dick CBD was finally born.

This launch marks another step for Dinafem down the CBD path, on which we began by introducing two medical marijuana seeds (Shark Shock CBD and Critical Mass CBD) into our catalogue, whose great success and rave reviews spurred us to develop our very own variety: Moby Dick CBD. All these genetics form part of a new generation of marijuana classed within our selection of cannabis options with therapeutic properties. 

Why are we so keen on CBD? 

This seed is the result of a natural evolution, both internally and externally. At Dinafem we have verified the medical and recreational benefits of cannabis rich in CBD. We believe that CBD will be increasingly appreciated and used, and for the past two years we have doubled down on exploring CBD, experimenting more and learning about its benefits. In short, a process has come about in which we have clearly perceived the way to go. 

We are aware that we have an advantageous position due to our knowledge of and experience in the current cannabis market, so we would like to somehow convey our opinions and tastes regarding medical marijuana to our customers. Though the demand for CBD is still somewhat limited (at least, it is not the most popular seed option), we are convinced that, as the cannabis market becomes increasingly decriminalised, regularised, better informed and with a more highly developed culture, our strains should be enriched with CBD. We are dealing with major phenomenon with lots of potential for exploration, and we want to be sure that we are part of it.

How much CBD does this new Moby Dick have?

The key with these types of seeds is managing to enhance and harness the different cannabinoids' medical benefits while reducing their psychoactive effects. This plant features a ratio with more CBD than THC; in other words, it is an "inverse" Moby Dick, richer in CBD than in THC. Due to their experiences, people are always going to associate Moby Dick with a huge high, but in this case the reverse is true: this strain has almost twice as much CBD as THC, which means a very lucid high, and the softening and mitigating of its negative side effects. This is a marijuana seed for cannabis users who like the characteristics of Moby Dick, but for whom its effects are too powerful. The latter aspect has been corrected to meet this type of user's specific needs.

What is the difference between smoking marijuana with CBD and without? 

Based on our experience smoking cannabis, the type of psychoactive effect produced by THC is the one we are all familiar with. CBD, on the other hand, delivers a very interesting, lucid kind of high. And its different effects are obvious, ranging from a slightly dry mouth (very slight), to less irritated eyes, to the ability to concentrate more ... and with no urge to run off and raid the fridge! Moby Dick CBD is a strain that, unlike with the original, does not make you extremely hungry. In fact, you'll note no clear change in your appetite, due to the large amount of CBD it contains. 

It is, in short, a strain of marijuana that builds on the legacy of its older sister, is easy to grow, surprisingly robust, and features short and abundant flowering. In addition, it really relieves the pain from certain conditions, especially inflammatory ones, such as rheumatoid arthritis. All this, while preserving its pleasant and sophisticated aromatic and gustatory properties, with tasty notes of lemon, cedar, incense and spices. A delight for the body, and also for the spirit.
