What is CBD Flower?

Did you know that the hemp plant produces flowers just like the marijuana plant does? CBD buds go through processing to extract the cannabidiol or CBD from them. People who want the benefits and flavor of smoking cannabis without getting the high associated with smoking marijuana, can use the CBD flower as a substitute. If you're curious to know more, we'll outline everything you need to know below.

Defining CBD Flower

CBD flower is flower that come from the industrial hemp plant. They have several naturally-occurring cannabinoids in them that can produce a broad range of physical and mood-related benefits. The cannabinoids in the flower interact directly with your endocannabinoid system to produce these effects.

CBD manufactures like Hemp Living USA simply harvest and dry these flowers before packaging them for selling. Because of this process, the flowers contain a much higher number of waxes and cannabinoids that naturally occur in the plant.

THC and CBD Flowers

CBD flowers have a naturally lower THC content. This is why it's extremely rare that it'll make you feel any psychoactive effects when you smoke it. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, any federally-regulated CBD bud that is legally grown must contain 0.3% or less of TCH. Since this is the exact bill most states use to build their laws and regulations around, this is generally thought to be the industry standard for acceptable levels.

This is the main difference between hemp and marijuana. Hemp has between 15% and 20% CBD with 0.3% THC, while marijuana can have up to 25% THC with 1% to 4% CBD. CBD isn't psychoactive, and THC is. So, if you were to smoke marijuana, you'd get the high associated with it. CBD won't give you this high.

Benefits of CBD Flower

Using CBD buds can offer many of the same benefits you'd get if you used CBD oil. This makes it popular for a broad range of uses. Below are some of the major benefits of CBD products.

• Anti-Inflammatory - Studies show that CBD can reduce inflammation, swelling, and tenderness. This is especially true around the joints.
  
  
• Anti-Anxiety and Anti-Depressive - Researchers conducted studies that proved CBD was effective for calming anxiety, and CBD help reduce depression.
  
  
• Neuroprotective - While this research is still in the early stages, CBD has promise as a natural way to treat conditions like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease by protecting the neurons from further deterioration.

When you compare the CBD bud to other types of delivery methods, smoking gives you an excellent way to ingest a much broader range of cannabinoids. In turn, you'll take full advantage of something known as the entourage effect.

A lot of people like to use CBD-only products like the oil, but the flower strains like Elektra or Suver Haze can give you better effects because of the interaction between the CBD and THC content. When you vape or smoke this flower, you get a combination of fragrant terpenes and the cannabinoids. These two components work together to influence how they interact.

For example, CBD can encourage the low level of THC to stay in your system longer, which can help if you have chronic pain or chronic medical conditions. CBD can also enhance the pain-relieving properties of THC to keep you comfortable longer.

How to Use CBD Flowers

The first thing you want to do is talk to your doctor about incorporating the CBD bud into your routine. It's considered well-tolerated and safe, but it can interact with some medications, and there are minor side effects. Smoking is the most popular way to use it by itself or with a dry vape system.

If you smoke it, you'll feel the effects immediately, and it's easy to get a higher dosage if necessary because it absorbs directly into your bloodstream through the lungs. Cooking or baking with it is another standard option because it's fat-soluble. However, it will take longer for you to feel the effects if you digest it and it's difficult to know the exact dosage.

You will have to use your own judgment when it comes to dosage, especially if you choose to bake or cook it into your food. It isn’t recommended for first-time users that aren’t already familiar with what a higher or lower dose feels like. Maybe start by smoking it until you know how it'll affect you.
