CBD Flowers: A Guide to Proper Use and Temperature in the Vaporizer
The active ingredient CBD is a legal option for the medical treatment of physical ailments. In this article we will explain to you what exactly CBD flowers are, why they can be purchased legally in contrast to hemp with THC content and what effect the flowers have. In this guide, we also answer frequently asked questions from first-time users about application and temperature settings.
What exactly are CBD flowers and why are they legal?
The legal active ingredient CBD and the illegal active ingredient THC are both found in the flowering plants of hemp plants. Regular 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, have only a very low THC content (below 0,3%). As long as the THC content of the flowers is below 0,3%, the consumption and possession of CBD hemp is legal in many countries. Holistic herbal medicine, as practiced in Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine, uses the hemp plant as an alternative remedy for health-promoting purposes.
What effect do CBD flowers have?
You should think of CBD hemp as a medicinal plant because CBD does not contain any psychoactive substances, meaning you won't get high when consumed! Depending on the person, sensitivity and amount taken, a relaxed, pleasant feeling can arise in the body without the head becoming foggy - you remain completely sober and everyday life is not affected. 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.
We recommend consuming a small amount of CBD flowers at the beginning to check the body's reaction and only then increase the amount if necessary.
How to take CBD flowers?
CBD flowers can be taken in different ways. The most common areas of application are:
-
Smoking in a cigarette or pipe
-
Consume orally, for example in the form of tea, capsules or cookies
-
Vaporize in a vaporizer, either as liquid or in the form of dried flowers
Numerous reports say that using CBD liquid is less intensive than vaporizing CBD flowers. Some users find that the effects of CBD flowers appear immediately after the first puffs, while it takes a little longer with CBD liquid.
How do you fill the vaporizer with CBD flowers?
After the dried flowers have been ground with a grinder, the flower crumbs are placed in the material chamber. To achieve the best results when vaporizing CBD flowers, proper filling is crucial! The chamber should contain neither too much nor too little material. The ideal fill level is achieved when the ground flowers are loosely stacked to allow for proper heat circulation. This is easily recognizable by a dense vapor and the even discoloration of the used flowers. If there is too little material in the vaporizer, the CBD will be consumed more quickly without being able to develop its full effect. However, if there is too much material in the vaporizer, the heat cannot be distributed evenly. This means that some flowers will be vaporized "emptily," while other parts still contain constituents that cannot be extracted.
At what temperature should CBD flowers be vaporized?
Maintaining the correct temperature when vaporizing CBD is crucial because the various active ingredients, such as cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes, dissolve and are present in the vapor at different temperatures. To extract the beneficial compounds from CBD flowers, the vaporizer should be set to a temperature between 160° and 180°C. Temperatures that are too high will only cause the CBD to burn unnecessarily. A vaporizer with precise temperature control, like the Stilus Pro Max, makes it easier to reliably maintain this ideal range. Users will find their ideal temperature after a few tries, and it usually depends on their personal preference.
