In the world of cannabis and its derivatives, there are several types of flowers with different concentrations of cannabinoids. Among the most popular are CBD flowers, H4CBD flowers and THC flowers. These three types of plants are often confused by consumers because they all come from the same family: Cannabis sativa. However, they have notable differences in their properties and effects.
What do the abbreviations CBD, H4CBD and THC mean?
Before allocating to the characteristics specific to each of these flowers, it is necessary to understand the terms used to designate them. THE CBD is the abbreviation of cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. THE H4CBD refers to so-called “legal” tetrahydrocannabinol, that is to say a modified version of THC with a low concentration (THC corresponds to tetrahydrocannabinol itself, which is the main psychoactive compound of cannabis.
CBD flower: origin and effects
Origin of CBD flowers
CBD flowers come from industrial hemp, a specific variety of cannabis sativa that contains less than 0.2% THC. Thanks to this low concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol, CBD flowers are considered legal in most countries, including those in the European Union.
Effects attributed to CBD
What makes CBD flowers so popular with consumers is their high content of cannabidiol and its non-psychoactive effects. Indeed, CBD is known to relieve various ailments such as:
- anxiety and stress
- chronic pain
- inflammation
- sleep disorders
It is also studied for its potential benefits on certain diseases such as epilepsy or multiple sclerosis. CBD is therefore often sought after for its therapeutic virtues and its absence of psychotropic effect.
H4CBD Flower: Features and Benefits
Origin of H4CBD flowers
As we saw previously, H4CBD is a legal derivative of THC. It is generally obtained by genetically modifying the cannabis plant to create a new variety with a very low concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol, thus complying with legal standards.
What are the benefits of H4CBD flowers?
The main interest of H4CBD flowers lies in the fact that they allow consumers to benefit from certain effects of THC without incurring the risks associated with its consumption. Among the main benefits of H4CBD flowers are:
- an absence of psychotropic effect
- potential relief from pain and inflammation
- stimulation of appetite
- antioxidant properties
However, research into the possible benefits of H4CBD is still limited and its potential therapeutic effects remain uncertain.
THC flower: origin and psychoactive effects
Origin of THC flowers
THC flowers also come from the cannabis sativa plant, but they get their name from their high concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol. Their chemical composition therefore differs from other varieties of cannabis available on the market, making these flowers illegal in a large number of countries, due to their potential harmful effects on health or the human psyche.
Psychoactive effects attributed to THC
The main effect attributed to THC is its psychoactive nature. In other words, consuming a THC flower can lead to feelings of euphoria, relaxation or even hallucinations in certain individuals. In addition, THC can also cause various side effects such as:
- memory problems
- increased sleepiness
- paranoia
- increased risks of dependence
It is therefore crucial to understand the differences between these three types of flowers and their properties in order to choose the one that best suits your needs and avoid any legal or health problems.
