CBD Flower (KLR #7)

CBD (cannabidiol) is a well-researched cannabinoid dominant in our Silverdome Gardens hemp flower. CBD hemp flowers are non-psychoactive, which means it will not get its user high. Today, CBD is considered one of the most studied cannabinoids of the hemp plant, primarily because it is believed to have a range of therapeutic properties.

Hemp derived CBD means that the CBD is taken from an Industrial Hemp plant, opposed to a marijuana plant. That being said, CBD is the same at a molecular level in each plant.

Hemp CBD flower is a cannabis flower that has a larger percentage of CBD than THC or other minor cannabinoids and is most likely federally legal. The THC levels can contain no more than the .3% THC to be considered hemp cbd flower. Since the popularity of this product began to grow, the name CBD flower has been synonymous with the legal hemp flower business.

If the farmer is cultivating industrial hemp for cbd-rich flowers they should be diligent about culling all male plants out of the field before any flower stage begins. With the males removed there will be no pollen to pollinate the female flowers rendering them seedless. Industrial hemp crops grown for fiber will not be grown with feminized seed thus producing large amounts of pollen and having a crop filled with many unwanted seeds for cbd flower users.

While CBD can come from either hemp or marijuana, it is often derived from hemp in order to avoid the addition of larger amounts of THC and will not have psychoactive effects. THC, on the other hand, is derived from marijuana and contains high levels of thc which is highly psychoactive.

Much like the consumption of poppy seeds may lead to a positive drug test for opioids, the consumption of certain hemp products may lead to a positive drug test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is inherently present in trace amounts in hemp plants. The legal limit of THC in hemp is no more than 0.3%.

Furthermore, the underlying science behind the conversion of certain cannabinoids, for example cannabidiol (CBD), when consumed, to other related cannabinoids, like THC, is not yet fully understood. Although the risk is low, individual biochemistry, the possibility of conversion of cannabinoids, and the possibility of trace, but legal, amounts of THC inherent in hemp products, we strongly suggest consulting your healthcare provider before consuming any hemp products if you are subject to drug testing.

Though it’s often well-tolerated, CBD can cause side effects, such as dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness and fatigue. CBD can also interact with other medications you’re taking, such as blood thinners. Another cause for concern is the unreliability of the purity and dosage of CBD in products.

Terpenes are chemical compounds responsible for producing the different aromas we smell in various hemp strains. Now, hemp plants have a range of terpenes, each with a unique aromatic signature of their own. For example, hemp flowers dominant in myrcene will emit an herbal aroma, while hemp flowers rich in caryophyllene emit a spicy, peppery fragrance. Apart from playing a role in creating a fragrance, terpenes can have a coherent interaction with the endocannabinoid system. These interactions within the endocannabinoid system can provide a range of therapeutic effects such as stress relief, relaxation, calming, analgesic, and more! For example, myrcene might have body relaxing properties.
