KMSP-TV: MINNESOTA-GROWN KATELYN-FAITH COULD BE MOST CBD-RICH MEDICAL CANNABIS
OTSEGO, Minn. (KMSP) – One of Minnesota’s medical cannabis producers says it has developed a new strain of the plant that is 34 times more potent than typical medical-grade cannabis. Minnesota Medical Solutions has named the strain “Katelyn Faith” in memory of Katelyn Faith Pauling, an 8-year-old girl from Montevideo, Minn. who died from complications of Battens Disease less than 4 months before Minnesota’s medical cannabis law took effect.
Independent lab analysis of the Katelyn Faith strain found a CBD-to-THC ratio of 34-to-1, trumping the 20-to-1 ratio of Colorado’s “Charlotte’s Web” strain featured in the CNN documentary “Weed.” Cannabis typically sold for medical use has a ratio of about 1-to-1.
