Guide to Choosing the Best CBD Flower for Your Needs

June 20, 2024 Blog No Comments »

Cannabidiol (CBD) flowers have emerged as a popular choice both as a recreational substance and for many seeking relief from various ailments. These unprocessed, natural hemp buds are gaining recognition for their numerous benefits, supported by a growing body of research. 

In this blog post, we’ll delve into the myriad benefits of CBD flowers, discuss their legality, explore different strains and their unique profiles, and guide you through the various strains and methods of consumption appropriate for your unique needs. Whether you’re a seasoned user or new to CBD, understanding these aspects will help you make informed choices about incorporating CBD flowers into your life.

The difference between CBD and THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol, THC, and Cannabidiol, CBD, are both cannabinoids – compounds containing cannabinol – found in the cannabis plant. While there are many different kinds of cannabinoids (up to 100 different compounds), these two are the most famous for their effects on the human body and mind.

To simplify the difference, unlike their THC-rich counterparts, CBD flowers are known for their calming effects without the psychoactive “high.” This makes them an appealing option for those looking to unwind and alleviate symptoms of certain conditions. 

The benefits of CBD flowers

CBD flowers have been found in various studies to have significant benefits for those who choose to use them. 

  • According to a study published in 2020, cannabis flower consumption was found to reduce “distress-related symptoms” such as anxiety and irritability.
  • Harvard Health Publishing released an article in 2024 that described the potential benefits of CBD, including treatment for chronic pain, insomnia, and inflammation due to arthritis.
  • A 2021 study found that cannabis flower use could be helpful in treating addiction conditions. 

Again, generally, CBD flower is known to produce a sedative effect that helps users relax without the accompanying “high” associated with THC. 

Is CBD flower legal?

CBD flowers collected from hemp plants (cannabis sativa or cannabis indica with less than .3% THC) is perfectly legal to grow, harvest, sell, buy, and consume in most states. That being said, you’ll want to obtain your CBD flowers from a reputable distributor with the appropriate licensure and transparency in production. This is because the FDA does not currently have strict regulations in place for CBD products; it is up to the consumer to do appropriate research when choosing their suppliers.

Different types of CBD flowers

There are two subspecies of hemp that are generally used to grow and harvest CBD flowers. Cannabis Indica is a high-altitude hemp plant that looks more like a bush than anything else, which high CBD content. Cannabis Sativa is a tropical hemp plant that grows larger than Indica, with fewer but more potent flowers. Each has a unique aroma and taste, meaning that the best CBD flower for you will vary based on personal preference.

At Industrial Hemp Farms, we sell many of the most popular CBD flower strains, including

  • Gorilla Glue, a hybrid Indica strain with a deep, potent, earthy aroma with hints of diesel

Application methods for CBD flowers

The most common way to use CBD flowers is inhalation, which can be done in a few different ways. The most popular media depiction of cannabis use is as a joint – a rolled cigarette-style tube consisting of paper filled with dried flowers that is lit at one end and the smoke is inhaled from the other end. You might also use a pipe, where the dried herb is placed in a bowl and lit so that the smoke can be inhaled through a mouthpiece, or a bong, where the smoke passes through a water filtration system before inhalation for a smoother hit.

You can also make CBD tea by steeping the flowers in hot water for 5-10 minutes. This is a better method for those with breathing issues like asthma, for whom inhalation is not a viable option. CBD flowers can also be safely consumed in edible goods like biscuits, cookies, brownies, or even capsules. They can also be used to create oils, tinctures, and extracts, which can be taken sublingually or topically.
