What exactly are CBD flowers and why are they legal?
The legal active ingredient CBD and the illegal active ingredient THC occur in the flower production of hemp plants. Common hemp has a high amount of THC (a psychoactive substance that is illegal in most countries) and a low amount of CBD. CBD hemp plants, on the other hand, only have a low THC content (less than 0,3%). As long as the THC content of flowers is below 0,3%, consuming and possessing CBD hemp is legal in many countries. Holistic plant medicine, as practiced in Ayurveda or traditional Chinese medicine, uses the hemp plant as an alternative medicinal medicine for health-promoting purposes.

However, the described feeling of relaxation helps many users with muscle pain, epilepsy and similar ailments. Some users describe the effect as energetic or sedative, depending on the variety and quantity. Many positive properties of cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes have been clinically proven.
