Beginner's guide : CBD flower

What is CBD flower?

CBD flower is a cannabis bud that helps people relax without feeling high. In fact, if you're feeling low after consuming a THC-rich product, you can even use CBD to bring you back into balance. Some cannabis growers have chosen to grow cannabidiol (CBD) for a therapeutic, non-psychoactive experience. CBD flower contains low levels of psychoactive THC (0.2%).

Medicinal value of high-CBD flower

CBD-rich, low-THC flower can relieve chronic pain, inflammation, seizures and anxiety. Specifically, CBD flower can help reduce symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, arthritis pain, Dravet syndrome and certain anxiety disorders. When smoked or vaped, CBD flower can produce immediate effects against acute symptoms. Because CBD flower requires inhalation, it is sometimes not the best form to use, especially for children or the elderly and people with breathing difficulties. Other forms such as oils, capsules, infusions or others may be more suitable.

Determining the dose of CBD flower

Everyone's ideal dose of CBD flower is different. Each strain will affect the user differently. Since strains have different CBD/THC ratios, consumers can try different ones to determine which strain is best for them. Some people may be more sensitive to THC than others. They need a CBD flower with a high CBD/THC ratio for less effect. Start by consuming low doses of CBD-rich cannabis flowers. A low dose can be one to two inhalations from a joint, vaporizer or water pipe. Although it's not an exact science, the slower you go, the better you can determine your tolerance to THC and CBD.
