Cannatonic reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Cannatonic.
I’m always on the lookout for strains to help control my pain (fibromyalgia and migraines). I was not disappointed! I lived close enough to walk to an mj club (back when those were around), and I bought a cannatonic pre-roll 1.3 gram) out of curiosity. I smoked it at the club before I walked home and I had no pain all the way home. I felt like I was walking on a cloud. A great mood booster if your mood is affected by your pain. The CBD to THC ratio was so effective! This is one of very few strains that seemed to make a difference in my daily pain management. 11/10 would recommend.
I think it’s the best option if you want to smoke CBD
I smoke a little weed very often to get CBD then I toke other stuff to get blazed, so I usually have a hard time determining the more subtle points of a low THC strain. Recently, I was without cannabis for a month due to business travel. I realised two things: a) CBD helps a lot with my muscle/nerve pain in my back. b) Cannatonic is a really good weed for low back pain.
The best part is that it doesn't taste completely awful like many of the other high CBD strains. All the different grows of Cannatonic that I've tried have a kinda bland earthy taste with maybe a little tar or tabacco-ish flavor in there. The smell is kind of similar - earthy, skunky, a little citrus(?) - but not a "nice" smelling bud compared to most recreational strains.
I really appreciate that Cannatonic only gets me a little high, even on my first toke in weeks, the sensation is subtle, comfortable. I feel a little fuzzy but not tired or lethargic. My back pain and spasms are calmed considerably. A great feeling to get me into some Yoga poses and loosen up my aching joints... Happy toking, my dudes!
Rolled myself a nice blunt of this and it was just what I needed to treat the back pains I was having, as well as put me in a nice mellow state without being all spacey or in my head. Didn’t notice too much of a high at all, just an absence of stress or worry.
This is pure medicine. As a cannabis rookie, I was very nervous to delve into medical cannabis because I never liked feeling stoned. Cannatonic provides all of the medicinal benefits of cannabinoids without a major psychoactive effect, making it a wonderful daytime strain. It has helped my PTSD, anxiety, and depression so much that I have gotten off pharmaceuticals and feel better than ever. When I use this strain, I don't feel high, I feel "normal," in a way that I haven't felt in years due to my mental health issues. It helps to manage my symptoms for up to a day after I take it. This strain is an absolute blessing to me. The flavor is nothing to write home about, but it's decent when the flower is vaped. I can't recommend this enough for sufferers of PTSD.
I'm giving this 5 stars even though I started to go into panic mode from the effects. I tend to get anxiety if I get too medicated but I figured only one hit would be fine. Nope, that one hit did me in. I had to wake up my boyfriend to talk me down. Keep in mind I live in a prohibition state (Texas) and am used to the street stuff, albiet good, its no match for the stuff I got on my trip to Washington. It was the initial wave of kicking in that the anxiety took over. I read a lot of the other reviews for this particular strain prior to partaking and it sounded pretty great. I thought I would be safe from the anxiety since it isn't supposed to be a head high and people say it took them extremely large amounts to even achieve a shadow of that effect. Well something must be backwards in my brain because just from that one moderate hit I took, I was more stoned than I've been in years...to the point of panic attack. It totally blindsided me. I wasn't prepared for it. As with any new stuff I get, there's always a learning curve on the proper dosage and it always takes me a few sessions of trial and error to hit that sweet spot. I won't give this strain a negative review based on user error. It did effectively wipe out various aches and pains throughout my body. Once the initial panic wore off (about 30 minutes for me) I was able to be totally and completely relaxed and happy. I even got up and wanted to do stuff like straighten up the house, take a shower, get down, etc. Like I said, maybe I'm wired backwards since this stuff did the opposite of what everyone else says it does for them. Great stuff though. Next time I'll start off with a half hit and see where that takes me. :)

It is such an odd feeling to be using this strain, coming off of ones with more THC. There is very little of any psychoactive effect for me, and instead feel remarkably clear-headed, grounded, calm and much less tangled up in my own anxious thoughts. It’s like the anxiety-treating equivalent putting glasses on and suddenly things are clear. I would highly recommend for folks who find their anxiety irritates and agitates them to a point of action paralysis - I swear, this is the first time I feel like I can function normally again!
This one is beautiful. When I get it, it's usually in a chocolate bar with a 2:1 ration CBD:THC. I'll eat half a piece of chocolate (generally 6.5mgCBD:4mg THC) which keeps me pain and panic attack free on the job site for around 4 hours. When eaten like this it's very relaxing for a sativa. I thought it was a hybrid for some time because of this, but it's usually sativa. When I smoke this one it is super relaxing and pushes me around the corner into slow and thoughtful ponderings, a Winnie the Pooh effect. I take breaks from using this one though, because once I use it for a while it will start to give me headaches.
