The CBD industry has been growing rapidly the past five years, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Currently, there are billions of dollars spent annually on hemp-derived CBD oil. Experts believe that there could be $20 billion by the year 2025. Though CBD is extremely popular, many people don’t know where the cannabinoid originates from. Many people don’t realize it’s originally sourced from hemp flowers. Whether it be pet products or topical creams, all CBD items are made from cannabinoids extracted from flowers. To help you better understand the origins of your favorite CBD product, let’s take a look at the topic of Hemp Flowers.
Hemp Flowers And Cannabis Flowers
It’s hard to know where to start with hemp buds. But there are a few things you should know. Both cannabis and hemp contain over 100 different cannabinoids, including CBD and CBG, which are found in the flowers of female plants. A female cannabis plant produces more of these compounds when it is not pollinated, so all cannabis plants are grown to produce flowers rich in the cannabinoid THC. Similarly, all CBD and CBG hemp plants are grown strictly for their flowers, which contains less than 0.3% THC. Hemp, on the other hand, is not grown for its flowers and instead produces seeds and fibers. All cannabis sativa plants with flowers that contain less than 0.3% THC are legally considered to be hemp, including those rich in CBD and CBG.
It’s important to note that hemp farmers who want to grow flowers must take some precautions. This is especially true during the harvest phase. Biomass growers can use more commercial methods, while flower producers need to pay careful attention not to damage the product. Hemp CBD biomass is harvested and sold with most plant materials included in the final product. This means it has small flowers and other parts of the plant like stems, leaves, and stalk. Hemp buds are harvested, processed, and sold without these other parts of the plant. All in all, hemp flowers sell for over $300 per pound, while biomass generally sells for less than $10 per pound.
Products Made From Hemp Flower Buds
I have been following the health and wellness industry for some time now, and I’m noticing that CBD oil has become a hot new product. It’s also becoming more popular to extract cannabigerol (CBG) oil from hemp plants. Hemp plants grown for the purpose of extracting CBD and CBG-rich oil is processed before extraction. If you want to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis but don’t want to process hemp plants or buy petroleum to extract the oil, then what about smoking dried hemp buds? That is what entrepreneurs in the industry are doing. As a result, smokable Hemp Flowers are increasing in popularity with consumers.
Smokable Hemp Flower
Smoking or vaping CBD hemp is becoming more popular. Whether you’re smoking it in a bubbler, pipe, or rolling a joint, people enjoy the calming effect that it has. You can also use a vaporizer pen to vape your flowers. There’s been some debate among lawmakers on whether smokable hemp should be allowed in different markets. Some people worry that hemp closely resembles cannabis and contains THC when burnt. Other states have opted to make smokable flowers illegal for this reason. If you plan to grow and sell smokable hemp, make sure you do appropriate research about the laws in your marketplace.
Cannabinoids Without Psychotropic Effects
Scientists are just beginning to learn about how cannabinoids in hemp plants affect the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and memory. Many people believe CBD and CBG can offer physical, psychological, and emotional benefits related to the endocannabinoid system. Hemp flower is a great option for those who don’t want the psychotropic effects of smoking marijuana. The Farm Bill places a 0.3% THC maximum on industrial hemp plants grown in the U.S. That’s not enough to induce “high” levels of THC in cannabis users, but it is great for those seeking less psychoactive effects in their lives. An early study found that smokers who wanted to quit smoked cigarettes 40% less when they were allowed to smoke hemp instead of cigarettes.
Enjoyable Terpenes
One of the benefits of smoking hemp flower is that it offers a strong and diverse terpene profile. The terpene profiles of hemp flower can vary significantly, with some being floral or fruity. Other strains might include heavy notes of cheese, gasoline, and skunk. When it comes to terpenes, many people either love or loathe the taste. Some of our customers love the sharp terpene profile of strawberries and cream with opened tennis balls while others love the deep aroma of cheese and skunk with cherry undertones from our Trophy Wife strain.
Better Bioavailability
Consuming CBD or CBG through a tincture or ingested orally slows the uptake of the CBD or CBG. On the other hand, smoking hemp flower buds allows magnesium to be absorbed into the bloodstream almost immediately. That means that smokers can feel the calming effects of CBD or CBG almost right away. Plus, smoking provides a higher bioactivation rate for CBD or CBG because it isn’t processed in the digestive system or liver first.
Full Spectrum Experience
What are the benefits of smoking hemp flower over other cannabis products? Remember, besides CBD and CBG, there are many other cannabinoids and terpenes in hemp. In some ways, the whole is greater than the parts. For instance, the benefits of CBD and/or CBG can be enhanced when they are combined with all the other chemical compounds in hemp flower. This is known as the “entourage effect.”
