"CBD Hemp Flower" The words hemp, cannabis, and pot (and all of Mary Jane’s other nicknames) have commonly been used interchangeably, and this has resulted in some confusion about what the plant actually is. The short story is this: the kind of cannabis that gets people high is not the same as hemp, even though both plant varieties come from the species cannabis Sativa. Cannabis strains that contain significant levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabinoid responsible for weed’s psychoactive effect, are bred from sativa, indica, and hybrid strains of the cannabis Sativa plant. Hemp, on the other hand, is typically distinguished from psychoactive weed if it has a THC content of 0.3% or less. That’s not enough to get you high. In fact, if you smoked a pound of hemp, you’re more likely to have a massive headache than a noticeable high. Most medical and recreational strains have a THC content of at least 5% and at most 30%, a much higher amount of THC than what hemp contains. Hemp Flower—the Non-Psychoactive Bud It is certainly possible to breed weed strains to have low THC to CBD to ratios (meaning strains that have a higher quantity of CBD than THC). But there is an easy way to get THC-free CBD, and that’s to use hemp. Although hemp contains .3% or less of THC, it has significant amounts of CBD (anywhere from 10% to 20% CBD) as well as other non-psychoactive cannabinoids and terpenes, volatile compounds responsible for a plant’s smell as well as a unique profile of therapeutic benefits. Producers like Empire Wellness, Tweedle Farms, and CBD Hemp Direct ship their product to all 50 states under the protection of the Farm Bill. Because the hemp flower they produce and distribute comes from industrial hemp, it is technically legal. If you do choose to purchase hemp flower and you live in a state that has not legalized any kind of cannabis, be prepared for potential pushback or legal intervention since hemp CBD flowers look and smell just like high-THC cannabis buds. #staylifted #hemp #hempflower #hempworld #cbdflower #tetrahydrocannabinol #cannabinoid #cannabinoids #cannabis #cannabodiols #marijuana #maryjane #thc #cbd #mmj #420 #420daily (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq7YMncBbwx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wk8mejvnpfho
