About Cannatonic

Cannatonic was developed by Reserva Privada as one of the first commercially available high-CBD strains. It quickly became a cornerstone of medical cannabis programs worldwide.

History

Cannatonic was bred by Reserva Privada in Spain in the mid-2000s specifically to maximise CBD content. It was revolutionary at the time — most recreational strains had negligible CBD, and Cannatonic demonstrated that cannabis could be bred for therapeutic purposes without the psychoactive high. A phenotype known as ACDC emerged with CBD levels reaching 19%, becoming one of the most widely used medical cannabis strains globally.
