How Hemp Flower Has Taken the CBD Market by Storm

Hemp belongs to the same botanical family (Cannabaceae) as the cannabis we know as marijuana. It is a form of cannabis sativa with extremely low traces of the THC that produces the high users seek in marijuana. Absent THC, it is chock full of CBD with all its medical benefits and has taken the CBD market by storm.

Like other forms of cannabis, hemp is an annual herbaceous plant flowering as it matures. Farmed and processed in many ways for thousands of years, hemp has supplied food, fiber, and oil. It has infused potions and applied as a poultice for scores of medical ailments.

All forms of sativa have a lengthy vegetative stage — from 10 to 16 weeks to mature. And, that longer vegetation produces a higher yield of beneficial product — up to one pound of usable flower.

What is hemp flower?

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “The hemp plant is a stout, aromatic, erect annual herb.” Hemp’s male plants produce clusters on staminate while female plants form spike-like clusters on their pistillate. These tall thin plants are hardy enough to survive their origin and survival in hostile environments in the mountains of Afghanistan throughout most temperate and tropical zones.

CBD from hemp has been marketed as hundreds of products including oils, lotions, soaps, cosmetics, edibles, and much more. But many of these products break down the full spectrum of CBD benefits as they are blended with and reduced by combination with other ingredients. So, there has been an increasing call to use the hemp flower to secure the full effects of hemp’s cannabinoids.

Hemp flowers may not be the prettiest bloom in the garden. They look and smell just like marijuana buds. But they can hold high concentrations of cannabidiol, flavonoids, and terpenes helping with many medical problems, flowers like those available from Industrial Hemp Farms.

Is hemp flower legal?

It sure is! After being misunderstood and listed among the FDA’s Category 1 drugs by the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, hemp was “set free.” The U.S. Agricultural Improvement Act of 2017 removed hemp from the FDA list and federally legalized cultivation, sale, possession, and use of hemp and its derived products. The only restriction holds that the hemp may not contain more than 0.3% of the psychoactive THC.

This is a great boon to farmers raising hemp for fiber, food, seeds, and oils. Hemp fiber remains a major source of roping and fine and coarse fabrics. The shells and debris are used for chicken feed and provide a source of ancient grain for human consumers. Buyers used the seeds in cereals and other recipes, and they can be milked for an alternative to dairy. And, the oils can be consumed as processed or when integrated with other foods or product lines.
