Cannabis cbd flowers: how to choose them?

What is CBD cannabis flower?

Cannabis flowers come from a plant that's well known in various industries: hemp.It is the latter that produce the flowers. Once these flowers have reached maturity, they are harvested. Once cleaned, they are marketed.

CBD cannabis flowers are rigorously controlled at every stage from production to marketing, toensure they meet the criteria set out in article R.5132-86 of the French public health code.

This means their THC content is less than 0.3%. These controls are carried out according to a rigorous method governed by law. So there's no risk of consumers finding themselves outside the law.

Cannabis flowers: deciphering the different varieties

Indoor, greenhouse, outdoor... Cannabis flower varieties are diverse, and the jargon used by specialists can confuse the consumer. So what do these different names mean?

Indoor cannabis flowers

As the name suggests, indoor cannabis flowers are grown indoors andare highly sought-after products, often classified as top-of-the-range. There are many varieties of indoor-grown cannabis flower, each with different organic properties. So why is this type of cultivation so popular?

Growing cannabis CBD flowers indoors will enhance the plant's growth thanks to the oftenhigher CO2 levels, compared with outdoor cultivation. What's more, indoor cultivation protects the plant from the elements and pests that could eventually damage hemp flowers. Sheltered from wind and rain, the plant thrives and CBD levels are often more concentrated than in other flower ranges.

Cannabis flowers in greenhouses

Growing cannabis flowers in a greenhouse is halfway between indoor cultivation, as described above, and outdoor cultivation, which we'll look at next. As with any fruit, vegetable or flower, greenhouse growing protects plants from climatic differences (snow, frost, cold) and bad weather (rain, hail, wind).

The greenhouse not only creates a micro-climate, but also guarantees a product grown directly on the soil, while respecting the plant's needs. The soil is often richer than the potting soil used for indoor cultivation, resulting in good quality plants and hemp flowers that are almost beyond reproach.

Outdoor cannabis flowers

Outdoor means "outside" in English. As the name suggests, outdoor CBD cannabis flowers are grown outdoors, without the protection of a greenhouse. The result of this type of cultivation is flowers that are often imperfect, but with very distinctive characteristics. These are flowers with character, nourished by the soil in which they have grown.

Choosing your CBD cannabis flowers: Sativa or indica?

When choosing your CBD cannabis flowers, the terms "sativa" and "indica" often come up. What's the difference between the two? Sativa and indica are in fact two plant varieties,each characterized by a different origin, appearance, growth, effects and quality.

Indica flowers come from a mountain plant found in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. They grow bushy, with plants rarely exceeding 2 meters in height. Indica hemp flowers are prized for their relaxing effects, and their cannabidiol content is generally quite high.

The sativa variety is native to tropical zones such as Africa and Asia. It produces fewer flowers despite being larger than the indica variety. It's a flower renowned for its broader aromatic palette than the indica variety. Unlike indica, which can help you relax, some hemp sativa flowers can help boost your energy.

However, it's important to remember that each hemp flower has its own properties, a different taste and, of course, a higher or lower CBD content. We invite you to visit our store to discover ourCBD flowers.

CBD cannabis flowers: how to use them?

First of all, unlike their cannabis cousins, cannabis flowers are not intended to be smoked under any circumstances.Dried flowers can be used for interior decoration, to perfume a room and enjoy the soothing effects at home.

The flowers can also be infused as a herbal tea. As a reminder, cannabis flower herbal tea has no psychotropic effect. It is intended to relieve anxiety, stimulate the immune system and may have antioxidant properties.

It's best to infuse your flowers in milk to retain all their benefits.

Our CBD cannabis flowers can also be usedin cooking. This is particularly effective with our CBD Crumb Mix , made up of micro-flowers that are easy to sprinkle in a salad or on a pizza.

CBD cannabis flowers: is it a drug?

Although they both come from hemp, CBD cannabis flowers are in no way recreational cannabis flowers:their use is not the same, and the main difference lies in the concentration of THC (delta-tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the psychotropic effects of cannabis.

In fact, it's THC that alters the user's state of consciousness, making them feel either high or incredibly energetic. It is THC that contributes to the so-called "recreational" effect of cannabis.

Cannabis CBD flowers are composed solely of cannabidiol, the famous CBD, and terpenes. Not to be confused with THC, cannabidiol is not addictive, nor does it present any health risks.

With CBD, there's no risk of addiction!

Consumers do not experience side effects such as anxiety attacks. This is why this substance is not a controlled substance in France.

The ultimate checklist for choosing CBD cannabis flowers

1. Choosing a growing method

There's no single growing method that's better than another. However, depending on your needs and desires, you may have your own preferences:

• Indoor: fortop-of-the-range cannabis flowerswhereevery aspect is controlled.
• Outdoors: for flowerswith distinctive characteristics, even if this means sacrificing a little aesthetic appeal.
• Greenhouse: forlegal cannabis flowersthat get the best of both worlds.

2. Ensuring the quality of CBD cannabis flowers

A serious retailer will tell you where the cannabis flowers come from, theexact levels of the various cannabinoids andwill also provide you with their certificates of analysis. This is the case with Weedy.fret,and should be the case with all stores.

3. Choosing the right level of CBD

There's no point in rushing to a cannabis flower with 25% CBD: it's highly unlikely to have been harvested as is, and could well conceal an "inflated" level (CBD spray on the flower, for example).

Most legal cannabis flowers contain between 2% and 10% CBD. Beyond that, prefer CBD resin or try our coated flowers (Moonrock rosin 50%, Blue Moonrock 80% and Moonrock 25% in particular).

4. Indulge in aromas

Fruityor earthy, herbaceous or sweet, acidic or bitter: there's a variety of light cannabis flowers to suit every taste, occasion and desire. If you're not sure, our five-flower box is a good place to start.

5. Using cannabis flowers legally

It's worth remembering that smoking cannabis flowers, even legal ones, is still prohibited. For healthier, perfectly legal use, opt for vaporize or infusion.
