What is CBD flower?

Hemp is a cannabinoid plant well-known in industry, even more so today with the energy transition, since it is environmentally friendly and economical. CBD flower comes from the Cannabis Sativa L plant, better known as hemp. This CBD (cannabidiol) cannabis flower is included in the list of new substances authorized by European regulations.

Often confused with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) cannabis flower , it does not contain the same level of psychotropic substances. Therefore, it does not make you “high” and simply offers you soothing properties . Considered a molecule focused on well-being, CBD offers relief and relaxation, both physically and mentally .

The different varieties of CBD cannabis flowers

As with all plants, there are several varieties of CBD cannabis flowers . You will find two types of flowers:

• Sativa CBD flower: This is a variety originating from Africa or Asia since it thrives in tropical climates. It has a wide aromatic palette and is suitable for people wanting a stimulating effect since the Sativa variety offers more energy;
• Indica CBD Flower: Unlike its neighbor, Indica grows in the mountains of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This hemp produces more flowers since it grows in bush form. Its flowers contain a high level of CBD. Indica CBD flower, on the other hand, provides a more calming effect .

Growing CBD Cannabis Flower

Hemp is a plant with certain characteristics. First, there are male and female plants; only a female hemp plant can produce the CBD cannabis flower, which contains a nectar of molecules beneficial to health.

Cultivation begins with hemp seeds . Hemp seed is grown as seed for full use. Once mature, the plants are harvested, cleaned, then dried and marketed.

CBD cannabis flower is a low-maintenance crop, sanitizing soils with low water and fertilizer requirements. This is why it represents a promising opportunity for manufacturers looking for robust and environmentally friendly materials. This is referred to as industrial hemp or Indian hemp, and it has several production methods: Outdoor (outdoor), Indoor (indoor), and Greenhouse (in a greenhouse).

On the controls side, cultivated hemp is regularly checked to comply with article R.5132-86 of the Public Health Code. During these tests, the delta-tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC ) content is checked and must be below 0.3% to avoid a psychotropic effect. Hemp flowers containing less than 0.3% are therefore 100% legal .

The use of CBD cannabis flower

CBD flower has a wide range of uses. It serves as a component for sustainable materials in the construction industry. It allows the creation of strong fabrics in the nautical world and is attractive for its ability to create decorative or practical objects with less plastic. CBD cannabis flower is even present in the food industry thanks to its numerous nutrients such as omegas, vitamins, minerals with beneficial fatty acids, we call it hemp. It accompanies salads, sauces, is integrated into meals and contributes to a good level of essential fatty acids.

But it is mainly found in the form of oils , serums, creams or even hydrosols in the cosmetic industry. Indeed, the CBD flower has a high content of vitamin E, linoleic fatty acid like omega-6 and this without psychoactive. The composition of the CBD flower is composed of polyunsaturates capable of reducing the development of free radicals which promotes the development of cells and reduces aging. You can mix it with linseed oil, argan oil, coconut oil or even essential oil to make an oil to slow the appearance of wrinkles. Hemp is therefore an antioxidant!

The interesting ratio of acids, oils, and various nutrients in organic hemp oil helps create herbal cosmetics that are pleasant for dry or sensitive skin . CBD flower vegetable oil is terpene-free and is used in recreational products such as balm without worrying about your health. In addition, it is an organic and vegan product that can reduce acne, fatigue , and even cholesterol.

The benefits of CBD hemp flowers

CBD flowers are known for their many benefits, including their anti-stress and anti-pain properties , but that's not all. Indeed, the list of therapeutic virtues of CBD is long and some have yet to be confirmed by more in-depth scientific studies. That said, CBD hemp flowers are generally used for their effects:

• anti-inflammatories and analgesics ( chronic pain and inflammation );
• soothing, relaxing and anti-stress ( stress and anxiety , sleep disorders );
• antispasmodics and anticonvulsants (reduction of symptoms of epilepsy , etc.);
• regulators of the endocannabinoid system (appetite, mood , etc.).

How to consume CBD hemp flowers?

We do not recommend smoking CBD flowers. Today, there are many ways to consume CBD in a healthy way, without tobacco or combustion, and therefore without health risks. Among these solutions, we recommend infusing, using in cooking, and vaporizing CBD hemp flowers .

Infusion

To make a CBD infusion or herbal tea at home with your flowers, simply crumble them using a grinder, a knife, or a pair of scissors. Then place your flowers in a tea ball or a stainless steel infuser. Let it steep for a few minutes and add a fat such as honey or milk to activate the active ingredients in the CBD. For added convenience, check out our ready-to-use CBD infusions .

Note that with infusion, the relaxing effects can take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to appear, the time it takes for the cannabinoids to reach the digestive system and bloodstream. Once established, these effects last for a long time. This is an excellent method for people who need long-term relief .

Kitchen

As with infusions, you can use your CBD flowers in cooking. However, you must first heat them to release the cannabinoids, for about 30 minutes at 100 degrees. Then, you can crumble them and incorporate them into any culinary preparation of your choice, whether it's a sweet or savory recipe. For example: juice, smoothie, milkshake, pancake, cake, soup, pie, etc.

The relaxing effects are the same as those of the infusion. Be patient and you will enjoy these effects for many hours.

Vaporization

For those who prefer to smoke, we have a healthy alternative to offer: vaporizing. To do this, you need a quality vaporizer, preferably one with a temperature regulator. This device allows you to inhale healthy vapors without burning the flowers. This way, there's no combustion that alters the effects of the flowers and harms your health.

By choosing this option, you can benefit from fast-acting relaxing effects as the cannabinoids are assimilated in just a few minutes. This makes it a suitable solution for consumers who need fast relief .

How to choose your CBD hemp flowers?

To choose your CBD flowers wisely, we advise you to base your decision on 3 criteria:

• Cultivation Type: CBD flowers grown outdoors are the most natural and authentic. They are also the least expensive hemp flowers because outdoor cultivation is more economical. They are recognizable by their earthy, herbaceous, and distinctive taste. Indoor CBD flowers, on the other hand, are more generous, flavorful, and rich in CBD. They are also more expensive due to the more demanding cultivation method. Finally, the Greenhouse cultivation method is a good compromise and excellent value for money.
  
  
• Variety and Flavor: There are CBD flower varieties to suit every consumer's tastes. There are sweet, fruity, woody, herbaceous, earthy, lemony, minty, and many more. Choose the flavor that best suits your desires.
  
  
• CBD content: The most important criterion is the CBD content. If you have little experience with CBD, we recommend testing a flower with a CBD content between 5 and 10%. If necessary, you can gradually increase this content to optimize the molecule's effects on your body. If you are a more experienced consumer, you can choose flowers with a CBD content between 15 and 20%, or even higher.
