CBD flower is growing wildly in popularity because it provides a wide variety of benefits. While hemp has been around for centuries, using it can seem complicated – especially for beginners. The good news is that using hemp flower is much easier than you might think.

What is Hemp Flower

Hemp flowers are like their cannabis counterparts, in that they are both the same species and both produce cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The major difference between the two is that hemp flower contains a higher concentration of CBD and less THC. Specifically, hemp flower contain less than 0.3% THC and as much as 25% CBD.

Benefits of Smoking Hemp Flower

Smoking CBD provides quicker, more potent relief than ingesting it. When you ingest CBD it has to go through your stomach and into the first part of your small intestine before your body can absorb it. This process can take 20 minutes or longer. Smoking hemp flower delivers CBD to your lungs, where it is picked up immediately by your bloodstream and distributed to your brain; you will feel the effects of inhaled CBD in about 30 seconds.

The best way to smoke hemp flower is highly personal. Our pick? Grind up the flower and roll it into a joint, or stuff it loosely into a bowl or bong.

Can you smoke hemp leaves?

Yes, you can smoke hemp leaves, but leaves may not provide the same CBD levels as do the flowers. We wouldn’t recommend it, though.
