I don’t think anyone consumes THC and CBD thinking they’ll be less impaired or less high, quite the opposite really. If you’re not doing it for medical reasons, you take THC and CBD for a better high than THC alone. Kinda a weird study considering it’s obvious to anyone who consumes cannabis, but yet again, studies on cannabis were heavily restricted so maybe this is significant for some other reason than informing the public?

From what I have been seeing CBD lowers anxiety caused by THC

And unfortunately it's impossible to find any strains in recreational dispensaries with a significant CBD content because "conventional wisdom" said it reduces the high. I just wanna get high without anxiety but everytime I ask a place for a strain with higher CBD they're puzzled and direct me to cbd only products.

I am thinking a cbd gummy am hour before might do the trick.

Usually my go to but its a bit silly when I was younger and strains were more reasonable instead of the pursuit of ludicrous levels of thc and nothing else.

never heard that. I always felt it just slowed everything down a bit

Are you in Colorado? That was the only place I ever found CBD strains labeled as "medicinal". In the rest of the country we consider cbd an intensity-lowering cannabinoid. We might be wrong but it's definitely the majority opinion.

Michigan, though I’ve never heard of this before. Always just that it produces a better high (and I do smoke CBD with my primarily THC flower so…).

I have never heard the suggestion that CBD lowers intensity... I'm really surprised to hear it was studied. Can't speak for all of Canada of course

Read literally any of the pseudo scientific articles in cannabis magazines about the entourage effect in relation to THC, CBD, and anxiety.

That sounds like they’re saying it produces a better high with the entourage effect, not it produces a less intense effect. CBD is certainly known for helping to relieve anxiety, but again, I’ve still never once heard it reduces the intensity of the high itself…
