FAQs

Hemp flower refers to the flowering tops of the hemp plant. These flowers contain beneficial compounds like terpenes and flavonoids.
Hemp, by legal definition, contains very low levels of THC, typically less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. Because of this low THC content, hemp is not generally psychoactive when consumed in its raw form or when used to produce products such as CBD oil, textiles, or food products.
Research suggests that hemp flower may have anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antiemetic properties, making it potentially useful for various medical conditions. Additionally, it’s been reported that hemp flower works to relieve inflammation, pain and is ideal for treating symptoms of such conditions as arthritis, seizures. Hemp flower is an effective neuroprotectant, so it is beneficial in the treatment of such conditions as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Hemp flower can be consumed in various ways, depending on personal preference and desired effects. Some common methods of consuming hemp flower include:
  1. Smoking: Hemp flower can be smoked in a pipe, joint, or water pipe (bong). Smoking allows for quick absorption of cannabinoids and terpenes into the bloodstream, providing rapid onset of effects.
  2. Vaporizing: Vaporizing hemp flower involves heating it to a temperature where cannabinoids and terpenes are released as vapor but below the point of combustion. This method preserves the flavors and beneficial compounds of the flower while reducing the inhalation of potentially harmful byproducts associated with smoking.
  3. Edibles: Hemp flower can be decarboxylated (heated) and infused into various edible products, such as baked goods, candies, or beverages. Consuming hemp flower in this form typically results in slower onset of effects but longer-lasting relief.
  4. Tinctures and Oils: Hemp flower extracts can be infused into oils or alcohol-based tinctures. These products are typically taken sublingually (under the tongue) for fast absorption into the bloodstream.
  5. Topicals: Hemp flower extracts can be infused into creams, lotions, balms, and salves for topical application. These products are often used for localized relief of pain, inflammation, and skin conditions.
  6. Capsules and Pills: Hemp flower extracts can be encapsulated into pills or capsules for convenient oral consumption. This method provides a consistent dosage and is discreet for on-the-go use.
  7. Teas and Infusions: Hemp flower can be brewed into teas or infused into other beverages for a calming and potentially therapeutic drink.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of each method can vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism, dosage, and the specific cannabinoid and terpene profile of the hemp flower. Additionally, it’s advisable to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed to determine the optimal dosage for desired effects.
