Sorry I missed your question!! My understanding, based on what I'v read, is that the CBD works better in conjunction with some THC, and that you CAN get too much of a good thing with CBD just like with THC. Here are my notes on CBD (and I know there's a lot of misinformation out there, so I try to stick with the researched sources of information, like Project CBD):
ALL ABOUT CBD
“Less is more†is often the case with respect to cannabis therapy.
WHAT IT DOES:
 CBD quickly halts stress response and excitability.
 Promotes ease, calmness, and positive sense of well-being
 Pain relief
 Gentle upbeat mood
 Mental and physical relaxation
 Clear-headed and focused, no change in cognitive function
 Slightly sedative
For anxiety, depression, spasms, and pediatric seizure disorders, many patients initially find they do best with a moderate dose of a CBD-dominant remedy (a CBD:THC ratio of more than 10:1). But a low THC remedy, while not intoxicating, is not necessarily the best therapeutic option. A combination of CBD and THC will likely have a greater therapeutic effect for a wider range of conditions than CBD or THC alone.
For cancer, neurological disease, and many other ailments, patients may benefit from a balanced ratio of CBD and THC. Extensive clinical research has shown that a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio is effective for neuropathic pain. Optimizing one’s therapeutic use of cannabis may entail a careful, step-by-step process, whereby a patient starts with small doses of a non-intoxicating CBD-rich remedy, observes the results, and gradually increases the amount of THC.
DOSING W/ CBD
In essence, the goal is to self-administer consistent, measurable doses of a CBD-rich remedy that include as much THC as a person is comfortable with.
Cannabis compounds have biphasic properties, which means that low and high doses of the same substance can produce opposite effects. Small doses of cannabis tend to stimulate; large doses sedate. Too much THC, while not lethal, can amplify anxiety and mood disorders. CBD has no known adverse side effects at any dose, but drug interactions can be problematic. An excessive amount of CBD could be less effective therapeutically than a moderate dose.
The time of onset and duration of effect vary depending on the method of administration. CBD-rich cannabis oil products can be taken sublingually, orally (as edibles, lozenges, beverages, tinctures, and gel caps), or applied topically. Concentrated cannabis oil extracts can also be heated and inhaled with a vape pen. Inhalation is good for treating acute symptoms that require immediate attention; the effects can be felt within a minute or two and typically last for a couple of hours. The effects of orally administered CBD-rich cannabis oil can last for four hours or more, but the onset of effects is much slower (30-90 minutes) than inhalation.
While each compound has pain-fighting properties of its own, the two of them work best when they are consumed together. Both tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) work with each other synergistically, enhancing the overall pain-fighting effect of the herb.
For some, high THC strains may be more beneficial. Though the psychoactive nature of THC may be off-putting to certain people, many find that the “high†helps them forget about the pain and focus on something else. CBD strains, on the other hand, may help reduce inflammation and improve mood, which could improve your ability to handle pain.
To make sure you’re getting the relief that you need, here are a few things to keep in mind when picking out a strain for pain:
• Sedative, indica strains are some of the most popular picks for chronic pain management.
• A strain that contains a little of both CBD and THC may be more effective than one with THC alone.
• High THC levels mean that you may more easily forget about your pain.
• CBD strains are generally considered better for daytime consumption.
• Sativa strains are often consumed for neuropathic pain and chronic headaches, though this is highly subjective.
• Stick with strains whose aromas (terpene profile) are very attractive to you.
THE PROBLEM W/ HEMP OIL
Single-molecule CBD will inevitably become a federally approved Big Pharma medicine. Products infused with a crystalline CBD isolate, derived and extensively refined from industrial hemp, are already being marketed by unregulated internet storefronts. But single-molecule CBD is less effective therapeutically than whole plant CBD-rich oil extract. Scientific studies have established that synthetic, single-molecule CBD has a very narrow therapeutic window and requires precise, high doses for efficacy, whereas lower dose, whole-plant, CBD-rich treatment regimens are already showing efficacy for many conditions among patients in medical marijuana states. Whether synthesized in a Big Pharma lab or derived from industrial hemp, single-molecule CBD lacks critical secondary cannabinoids and other medicinal compounds found in high-resin cannabis strains. These compounds interact with CBD and THC to enhance their therapeutic benefits. Scientists call this the “entourage effect.†Numerous cannabis compounds have medicinal attributes, but the therapeutic impact of whole plant cannabis is greater than the sum of its parts.

Thank you. That is a lot of information right there. That explains quite a bit. Definitely points us in the right direction, where we can begin to fine tune the ratio for her.
