A Complete Guide To CBD Flower

If you've been looking for more information about CBD hemp flower, then this article is for you. We’ll be taking a look at what CBD hemp flower is and even check out some of the most popular CBD flower varieties!

CBD is increasingly becoming one of the most popular natural compounds in the world! One of the best things about CBD is its versatility. There are a variety of different ways you can take CBD, including CBD flower, which is the most natural way to introduce CBD into your daily routine.


In the following article, we’re going to take a look at why CBD flower is so popular, how CBD flower is different from regular flower or bud, and some of the most popular CBD flower strains on the market.


How Is CBD Flower Different From Regular Cannabis Flower?


One of the most popular new CBD products available is CBD flower, or hemp flower. Most CBD products use CBD that is sourced from hemp plants. This is because hemp is naturally high in CBD and low in THC.


The CBD flower, or hemp flower, is the bud portion of the hemp plant. CBD is non-psychotropic. What does this mean? It means that CBD flower isn’t going to get you high like other marijuana flowers will. It has no psychoactive properties.


There are a variety of different ways you can enjoy CBD flower, including smoking it in a joint or cone, pipe, bong, or vaporizer. Vaping is one of the most popular ways to enjoy hemp flower because the flower itself isn’t heated to the point of combustion.


Vaping is a healthier alternative to smoking but does require the purchase of an electronic vaporizer (don't worry, if you need one, we have you covered). The flower is heated to the point that the CBD is released as a vapor and inhaled. The leftover flower is discarded afterward.


What Are Some of the Most Popular Strains of CBD Flower?


The most popular fresh CBD flower sold at Simply Crafted CBD is the premium Otto Cherry Hemp CBD flower. It’s cured with terpenes from a number of different cannabis strains.
