About cbd flower.

CBD Hemp flower is non-psychoactive. Unlike it’s psychoactive cousin, marijuana. The cannabis hemp plant is grown to have high levels of CBD (cannabidiol), with a minimal amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) (<0.3% THC). You can get the wide-ranging medicinal benefits offered by hemp, with no physically or mentally intoxicating effects.

CBD buds have many uses, although are most often enjoyed smoked. You can also use hemp flower for vaping in dry herb-compatible devices, and also in homemade products, such as edibles, creams and oils.

This post will concentrate on the advantages of different hemp flower intake methods, and also touch upon a wide variety of strains. RESTART CBD offers over a dozen strains – in a mixture of sativas, indicas and hybrids.

CBD hemp flower (also referred to as CBD buds, CBD flower, hemp buds) are the flowers of female hemp plants which have been specially bred to contain very high levels of CBD and low levels of THC.  They also contain very high concentrations of terpenes, flavonoids, and other cannabinoids, and look and smell just like cannabis marijuana!

As you can see in the picture below, it looks just like marijuana, but these are actually considered CBD buds.

CBD hemp flower should not be confused with cannabis marijuana which can produce psychoactive effects and are illegal in many states and countries.

Hemp and marijuana are closely associated with each other because of their origins. Both are genus cannabis. This makes it look like they are the same but they DO NOT produce the same effect.

The difference lies in the THC content. When we talk about CBD flower, we mean a very low level of THC (under 0.3%). which makes it perfectly legal. In that sense, CBD flower is just like any other CBD product.

True hemp is grown specifically for industrial purposes and dates back ten thousand years ago when it was used as a fiber and a food source.  Hemp has over 29,000 known uses, making it one of the most versatile plants on the earth.

Marijuana and hemp are both from the cannabis family, so they do share a lot of characteristics.  Hemp looks, smells and tastes like marijuana.  But appearances and aromas are just that.

But the main difference is the amount of psychoactive THC each plant produces. Hemp flower is completely legal, according to federal government regulations, as long as the THC content makes up less than 0.3 percent of the product.

While marijuana can contain up to 30% THC, hemp is defined legally as a cannabis plant containing <0.3% delta-9 THC. All hemp products that have been cultivated and processed in accordance with state regulations are federally legal.

WILL IT MAKE ME HIGH?

CBD (cannabidiol) is safe to consume and you will not experience a “high” feeling from inhaling or ingesting CBD. It has been used for thousands of years for its beneficial health and wellness effects. It’s potential health outcomes include treating pain, inflammation, mood and anxiety without any of the side effects commonly associated with prescription medications.

There’s a diverse market out there for CBD flowers. You have sativa vs indica-dominant strains, those more effective for nausea vs pain, and on and on. If you’re using flower, you have a lot to choose from and the CBD buds are targeted and effective.

Special Sauce, Lifter, Hawaiian Haze, Suver Haze, Sour Space Candy, and Elektra are vigorous, terpene-rich strains and, according to Project CBD, many of them produce flower that tips the scales at 16-20% CBD by dry weight. The CBD content of these hemp strains is similar to AC/DC, a preeminent medical cannabis variety (and the great-grandmother of Hawaiian Haze), but the THC content is consistently next to nothing. AC/DC, by contrast, typically contains more than one percent THC, and sometimes as much as 5-6 percent, which means that legally AC/DC doesn’t qualify as hemp.

Everyone’s ideal servicing of CBD flower is different.  Fine-tuning your dose to the milligram isn’t going to happen with CBD flower– it’s a natural plant after all, and the CBD-containing trichomes won’t be distributed precisely. But there are steps you can take to ensure consistent effects.

First, how much CBD is in the flower. This figure is usually given in a percentage. For example: If Lifter has 19.8% CBDa – that’s CBD in its preheated state (cannabidiolic acid). With 1000mg in a gram, we can say that every gram of Lifter has 198mg of CBD.

Decide how much flower you want to smoke or vape. Then guess the right amount, or if you want to be really accurate, measure it out on a set of electronic scales. Half a gram would be 99mg of CBD. A quarter-gram just under 50mg (for this Lifter strain).

This precision is not a requirement. We consider smoking or vaping CBD like micro-dosing.  It’s nice to know how much CBD you’re getting (give or take a couple of milligrams). But if trying for a perfect dose, you may like the accuracy of  weighing your flower, or simply taking CBD in an oil, edible or capsule.

Things to remember:

• Every strain will affect everyone differently.
• Since strains have differing ratios of CBD, consumers can try out a variety to determine what works best for them.
• Some people may be more sensitive to THC than others even in low amounts.
• Start off by consuming low doses of high CBD cannabis flower.
• A low dose can be one to two inhalations from a joint, vaporizer or water pipe.
• While it isn’t an exact science, the slower you go, the better you can determine your tolerance for CBD.

CBD-rich flower boasts robust relaxing effects that can benefit users with its mellowing effects.

Buying hemp CBD flower solely based on a higher CBD content should not be your first priority. If you’re buying liquor, do you always opt for diesel grain alcohol given its high alcohol percentage? Try different strains to discover the effects of CBD-rich hemp flower, which can enhance the overall experience.

We cannot make any claims except to say that in all drug tests, CBD is considered to be undetectable in saliva or urine tests. There does, however, remain the rare instance that the trace amounts of THC in hemp may be detected. All of our CBD hemp flowers comply with all applicable regulations regarding minimal (less than 0.3%) THC content as required by law. Note that all naturally grown Hemp does contain trace amounts of THC!

So can you fail a drug test? This question has two parts.

1. One is how sensitive is the test procedure being used?
2. And does your employer have a zero-tolerance policy?

The answer to the first question requires you to know how the test is being conducted and to what degree it’s accurate. Since CBD hemp flower is certified as industrial hemp, there can be as much as 0.3% THC in the product. Very few testing facilities are sensitive enough to detect this level but some most definitely are. If your employer will fail you for 0.3% THC or less, then we would not suggest using this product.

Research has found that THC can be detectable in your system for up to 30 days, but it’s usually only present in heavy cannabis users after the first week. It’s also important to know where you are getting your CBD flower from and if they have 3rd party lab tests that indicate the THC levels. Some CBD products might contain more than the 0.3% THC legally allowed. If you are concerned about THC levels, it is our opinion that it is not worth risking failing a drug test by using CBD products that contain THC.

There are two main ways to consume CBD flower and an additional third that is less popular.

1. Smoke CBD Flower. If you were ever a marijuana smoker or still are, then you know what to do. Simply grind it up, roll yourself a nice CBD joint, and light up. This is what most users are doing because it doesn’t take much in terms of equipment or cost. We love CBD prerolled joints. I recommend buying one of these next time you order RESTART CBD.

NOTE: Roughly 40% of CBD users are also THC users. The comfort of grinding up a CBD and THC flower together makes the consumption process easier.

2. Vape CBD Flower. Herb vaporizers are another way of getting your CBD dose with flower. Vaping is safer than smoking if you’re worried about lung health, and it’s potentially more cost-effective.

When smoking, you always lose some CBD, that burns away at the end of your joint. This isn’t so with vaping, as devices just heat the flower. Cooking the bud is enough to activate the cannabinoids and transfer them to vapor form, but you’ll never lose out on any cannabinoids.

Another advantage of vaping your CBD buds is that you aren’t burning anything and putting it into your lungs. There’s always some level of downside to that, however small compared to tobacco. With vaping, you can take bigger draws and stronger hits, which gives you more chance to become immersed in a strain’s terpenes and flavonoids. You may also get some added sublingual effects when the vapor is in your mouth.

Vaping CBD flower generally feels smoother and is very effective. The only thing is, you’ll need a vaporizer that will heat up your flower but not burn them. While this is an initial investment, people find it is very worthwhile. Note: This is NOT the same as vaping with CBD vape pens, which uses a concentrated form of CBD. You’ll need different equipment and ingredients to create vapor from CBD oil or CBD vape juice.

3. Eat or drink it. You can actually digest CBD flowers directly. Not everyone will like how it tastes, and it’ll take longer to hit you, but it definitely works. You can also consume CBD flower as a tea, decarb it to cook with or make CBD butter from the flower buds.

4. CBD Hemp flower is perfect for making your own edibles, topicals and oils. You’ll need to decarboxylate the flower by heating it in the oven, before infusing into an oil or baking with it. To get more from your CBD-rich hemp flower, we suggest using coconut oil, as it’s rich in MCTs. These compounds increase CBD’s bioavailability, making for a more potent extract.

We advise that you consult your doctor if you have questions about the safety of using CBD products when combined with any prescription medication or supplements that you are currently taking.

Many people who are unfamiliar with CBD flower often ask if it will get them high. And those who don’t know much about it usually ask why it doesn’t get you high!  Here are some important facts!

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids, and produce most of their effects in the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This is a natural system found in humans, cats, dogs, and many other life forms. Researchers have traced it back hundreds of millions of years. The ECS makes it’s own cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids. But plant-based cannabinoids, or phytocannabinoids, also interact in this system.

THC is a substance which initiates a physiological response when combined with the CB1 receptor. That is what makes a person high. This receptor regulates pain, mood and appetite. In contrast, CBD has the opposite reaction, stopping activity at the CB1 receptor. This also explains why regular marijuana strains with higher levels of CBD are less psychoactive.

In the case of CBD-rich hemp flower, the CBD concentration exceeds that of THC by up to 100 times.
