Guide To Smokable Hemp Flower

It is a fact that smoking hemp/CBD flower is one of the fastest ways to experience its full effects. Though the regulation of CBD is ever-changing and a bit confusing at times, the demand for hemp flowers continues to rise. Many consumers choose smokable hemp flowers to get the same taste, look and smoke as a marijuana plant but without intoxicating side effects. Hemp flower provides all the positive effects of CBD and little to no negative effects of THC. 

What is a smokable hemp flower?

Marijuana flowers and smokable hemp flowers belong to the Cannabis Sativa family. However, the federal government regards any cannabis plant with more than 0.3% THC as a marijuana plant. CBD flower is derived from cannabis plants with less than 0.3% THC, and this makes their products legal under federal law.

As the name implies, a smokable hemp flower refers to a flower derived from the hemp plant which can be smoked. Its treatment is pretty similar to that of marijuana. However, it has a much lower THC content and higher traces of CBD and other cannabinoids like CBG, which is known for its calming and relaxing properties. These cannabinoids are natural chemicals that exist in the hemp plant and are treated/cured the same way as marijuana. This means you can smoke the hemp flower as a CBG or CBD joint, and it can also be used in any way the marijuana flower can be used. The hemp flower can also be used as tinctures and gummies or to extract CBD oil. Due to recent changes like the passing of the farm bill in 2018, you can buy bulk hemp flower online and from dispensaries.

As a hemp consumer, it is essential to know how the hemp is sourced, cured, and delivered to you. Ensure a third-party lab test the hemp to be sure of where the hemp was derived from. It would be best if you weren’t afraid to ask any questions, as transparency is essential. You must know what you are smoking and the effects before you indulge. Some few pointers to keep in mind when purchasing smokable hemp flowers include;

• Potency
• Flavor
• Effects

The level of potency should be a priority as it’ll determine the effects.
