CBD Flowers

❓ What is CBD and how does it work?

The CBD flower is actually the flower of the hemp plant. It is harvested at the ends of its branches. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many molecules, called cannabinoids, that make up the cannabis plant. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, influencing our feelings and well-being. This complex system helps regulate various physiological processes such as mood, sleep, immune function, pain, appetite and inflammation. Numerous studies suggest that CBD may have a variety of therapeutic effects, from alleviating anxiety and stress to improving sleep, reducing inflammation, and managing pain.

What are the differences between CBD and THC?

When we consume cannabis that contains THC, it affects certain parts of our brain, which can cause changes in our perception, mood and thinking. Some describe this as feeling “high” or “high”. On the other hand, CBD, which is another compound of the hemp plant, does not have this “High” effect. In fact, it may even help reduce the effects of THC. CBD can then provide a feeling of calm and relaxation, without altering our perception or making us “high”. This is why some people prefer to use products containing primarily CBD, as they can enjoy the potential benefits of cannabis without the mind-altering effect of THC.

Are CBD flowers psychoactive?

Unlike its famous cousin THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is not psychoactive and therefore does not produce a “high” effect. In France, the THC level present in a CBD flower must not exceed 0.3%, as is the case for all Mybud products. This rate was chosen because it does not cause psychoactive effects.

✔️ How do I choose the CBD flower best suited to my needs?

Adapting the choice of CBD flowers to your needs is a step that can seem tedious. However, with the right information, you will be able to make an informed choice. Here are some criteria to consider:

• CBD content: the concentration of cannabidiol can vary considerably (from 5% to 20%) from one flower to another. If you are new to the world of CBD, it may be best to opt for a flower with a moderate CBD content, and increase the concentration gradually.
• Cultivation method: the technique used to cultivate a hemp plant (Indoor, Greenhouse, Outdoor) has a direct influence on the quality of the flowers it produces and their price. An Indoor flower (grown indoors) is generally of better quality and more expensive than other products. An Outdoor flower (grown outdoors) is generally of lower quality, but more than compensates with a greatly reduced price. Finally, a Greenhouse flower (grown in a greenhouse) is between the two: it is good value for money.
  Finally, a flower grown without chemical fertilizers and without pesticides will be more pure and natural. Our range of organic CBD, holder of the Organic Farmer label, is made for you if you are looking for such products.
• Terpene Profile: Hemp flowers are covered in terpenes, aromatic compounds that give flowers their unique aroma and enhance certain therapeutic effects. For example, myrcene has a relaxing effect, while limonene has a more energizing effect.

🏞️ What is the difference between the different cultivation methods?

The way a hemp plant is grown greatly influences the quality of its flowers. There are 3 main categories of flowers (indoor flowers, greenhouse flowers and outdoor flowers), and a few niche categories such as hydroponics.

Outdoor culture

This method of outdoor cultivation allows the flowers to experience natural growth with a supply of light, soil and water which requires very little human intervention: this is CBD Outdoor. This type of cultivation is widely recognized for the authenticity of its flowers and its developed aromas. However, this type of cultivation remains dependent on weather hazards and potential pests. The genetics of the plant play an important role in its ability to withstand more or less extreme climatic conditions, making certain varieties more suitable for outdoor cultivation.

Complement: Outdoor cultivation is also considered more ecological, because it uses the natural resources of the earth and the sun, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with indoor cultivation. It’s a rewarding process that allows you to connect more with nature and produce quality CBD flowers.

Cultivation in a greenhouse (under-greenhouse)

Greenhouse cultivation (CBD Greenhouse) is a perfect in-between. Indeed, CBD cannabis flowers grow in natural soil and benefit from the sun during the day. At night, artificial lamps take over to help them continue their growth. These plants are protected from temperature changes and external aggressions. This method of cultivation gives very satisfactory results in terms of the quality of the flowers and allows the consumer to access inexpensive flowers.

Indoor cultivation (indoors)

Flowers that grow indoors are totally dependent on humans. Indeed, the producer can optimize each factor linked to the growth of the plant such as light, CO2 level, water, temperature, etc. This means that no external environmental stresses, such as a sudden heat wave or excess rain, can affect the plants. Plus, because pests and diseases are easier to manage indoors, plants stay healthy and strong. Thanks to all this, indoor CBD flowers can achieve superior quality, with an optimal concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, for the purest and most potent user experience possible. Their quality is excellent.

Hydroponics

This cultivation method consists of growing CBD cannabis plants in a substrate without soil: the roots are bathed directly in water which contains all the nutrients necessary for the plant. Without the soil to slow them down, the roots can grow much more freely and vigorously. The result ? Plants produced hydroponically, or hydro, are of higher quality because they have been able to feed more freely and efficiently.

👁️ How to recognize a quality CBD flower?

The quality and freshness of a hemp flower, whether CBD, THCP or otherwise, is reflected in its appearance. A good flower will have an intense green hue, without brown or yellow spots. Trichomes, small shiny structures, are signs of quality because they contain cannabinoids and terpenes. A dense, well-formed flower is preferable, while its friability may indicate conservation concerns. The absence of seeds is also a good sign. Finally, avoid flowers with mold or a musty smell. In short, a quality CBD flower can be recognized by its freshness, its color and the absence of imperfections.

🍁 How to use CBD flowers?

To consume CBD flowers, there are several methods. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and will be more suited to your needs. Here are the main ways to do this:

• Vaporization: Use a vaporizer specifically designed for CBD flowers. Vaporization gently heats the flowers, allowing the cannabinoids to be inhaled without combustion, reducing the risks of smoking.
• Infusion: You can prepare an infusion by boiling water and adding the CBD flowers. Let it steep for a few minutes before straining and drinking.
• Inhalation: You can smoke CBD flowers in a pipe or with rolling tobacco, but be careful not to burn them too quickly to avoid releasing harmful substances.
• Cooking: Integrate CBD flowers into your culinary recipes. You can add them to hot or cold dishes, such as sauces, desserts or drinks.

Whichever method you choose, it is essential to start with small amounts and observe how your body reacts before increasing the dose. Warning: It is also advisable to consult a healthcare professional before consuming CBD, especially if you are already taking medication.
