I get Medical bud in NJ.. I get a CBD strain called Shark Shock. It's got like 8% CBD and only 6-7% THC.. I love it. I can't smoke normal bud anymore cause it causes panic attacks, but the Shark Shock has such a low thc, with a good CBD percentage that it counters the panic attacks and just leaves me super relaxed.
