Hemp CBD flower is produced by the female Cannabis Sativa plant when it reaches maturity. These flowers can contain a wide variety of phytocannabinoids including cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG).

CBD buds are the flowers of female hemp plants which have been specially bred to contain very high levels of cannabidiol and low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

For many, cannabis flower isn’t their cup of tea. Perhaps it’s because it makes one feel too paranoid or anxious. We don’t recommend writing off cannabis flower entirely. In order to avoid the whirlwind of anxiety and paranoia, opt for CBD-rich flower. CBD-rich flower offers all of the beneficial effects of high-THC flower without the panic attack-inducing effects. CBD flower offers consumers a clear-headed experience with incredible benefits.

What is CBD Flower?

CBD flower is cannabis bud that helps people relax without feeling out-of-their-mind high. In fact, if you do feel out-of-your-mind high from a high THC product, you can even use CBD to bring you back down to equilibrium.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is just one of many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and CBD also makes up a sizable portion. Some cannabis growers have opted to cultivate for cannabidiol (CBD) for a therapeutic and non-psychoactive experience. While CBD flower does contain low levels of psychoactive THC, the high levels of CBD regulate the effects of THC.

The Entourage Effect

While many cannabis consumers may choose to opt for CBD-only products like CBD oil, CBD-rich flower can have better effects because of the synergy that occurs between THC and CBD. When smoking or vaping the entire cannabis flower, you get a wide breadth of therapeutic cannabinoids and fragrant terpenes that work together to influence each other’s actions. CBD, for instance, can enhance THC’s pain relieving and epilepsy reducing properties. CBD also encourages THC to stay longer in the system, helpful for people with chronic conditions.

Determining Dose of CBD Flower

Everyone’s ideal dose of CBD flower is different. Every strain will affect everyone differently. Since strains have differing ratios of CBD to THC, consumers can try out many to determine what works best for them. Start off by consuming low doses of high CBD cannabis flower. A low dose can be one to two inhalations from joint, vaporizer or water pipe. While it isn’t an exact science, the slower you go, the better you can determine your tolerance for THC and CBD.
