You might have heard of CBD, or perhaps used CBD products yourself: around 14 percent of Americans have. Yet there’s a whole world of CBD waiting beyond the refined products like oils, tinctures, and vape juice.
If you want to get CBD in an unrefined form, you need to learn about smokable hemp flower. These buds are much like the marijuana buds that you might buy if you want to get high, but with one crucial difference: they contain very low amounts of THC.
This means that you can smoke them without getting high (though there will be a slight mental effect, usually relaxation). This also means that you can likely avoid issues like paranoia and anxiety.
Like with marijuana, there are a lot of different strains of hemp flower for you to choose from. That’s why we’ve put together this handy-dandy guide to help you find the right CBD hemp flower strain for you. Of course, none of these would be viable without the assistance of Glass Pipes, available in all sorts of designs and colors to suit your personality. So grab one an get ready to find your perfect smoke. Let’s get started!
1. Elektra
Something of a celebrity in the world of CBD hemp flower, Elektra is one of the most popular strains around and typically contains 13-19 percent CBD. It’s a dark green strain, typically sporting some orange hairs across its surface.
Flavor-wise, Elektra is predominantly earthy, but with a good dose of citrus fruits to boot. This pleasant flavor makes it a solid choice for edibles too if you’d like to go down that route.
In terms of effects, Elektra is very relaxing but it shouldn’t make you feel sleepy. This means it’s a solid all-day smoke, even if you’ve got a lot of work to do.
2. Charlotte’s Web
Charlotte’s Web is perhaps the most famous CBD strain ever made. It’s the strain that first brought CBD some mainstream attention, thanks to the case of Charlotte Figi.
On average, her namesake’s CBD-heavy strain packs around 17 percent CBD and is a very pleasant-tasting smoke. The predominant taste is one of light sweetness, with some citrus fruits.
Like Elektra, it’s a happy and uplifting strain that avoids any sleepiness.
3. Lemon Haze
You’re probably more familiar with Lemon Haze as a marijuana strain, but if you’re curious about using CBD, you’ll be happy to hear it’s also available as a low-THC strain, so you can enjoy it with a clear head.
As you might expect from the name, this strain is characterized by a strong citrus taste. If you want something that won’t go unnoticed in edibles, there aren’t many better strains.
It should make you feel pretty relaxed, helping you to take the edge off any stressful situation. Like the other strains we’ve mentioned so far, it shouldn’t make you feel too drowsy.
4. Special Sauce
Special Sauce is a terrific strain that is perfect for evening relaxation. This strain features a 17.9 percent CBD punch that should have you feeling mellow, no matter how hard your day has been.
It’s a very colorful strain, with light green leaves speckled with orange and light browns. Another sweet strain, it packs notes of vanilla and berries, making it a delicious smoke.
Unlike the other strains that we’ve mentioned so far, we’d recommend that you only use this strain in the evening. It’s perfect for clearing your head after a long day and will make it a lot easier to sleep.
5. Bubba Kush
If you’re interested in using hemp flower because you can’t sleep then look no further than Bubba Kush. A dense flower, sprinkled with glittering trichomes, this is a strain that’s hard to miss.
Upon tasting, Bubba Kush is notable for its rich chocolatey taste, combined with some notes of pine and citrus. It’s not a strain that’s great for daytime, as it will completely ease the mind and body. Grab a movie and some food, and get ready to relax, sinking into the night with the help of Bubba Kush.
If you want to find something that will help you get to sleep when you’re feeling stressed, this is a top pick.
6. Cherry Blossom
If you love the taste of cherries, you’re in for a treat with Cherry Blossom. This strain is deeply colorful, with pale green leaves speckled with burnt orange, it almost looks too good to smoke.
However, when you break it up, your mouth will start to water, thanks to Cherry Blossom’s rich notes of dark cherries, citrus fruits, and pine. It’s got a very rich taste, making it a perfect after-dinner smoke to pair with your dessert.
In terms of effects, Cherry Blossom should make you feel totally relaxed, making it another great evening strain.
7. Lifter
Do you wanna get lifted? Then, surprise surprise, Lifter is the absolute perfect strain for you. Unlike other strains of CBD that focus on relaxation, Lifter is very uplifting, giving way to clear-headed energy. This makes it great for a smoke in the morning or early afternoon when you’ve still got a full day ahead of you. The taste is sublime, with flavors of dark grapes and diesel.
If there’s one word to describe the taste of Lifter it’s this: funky.
Perfect for weekdays and weekends alike, Lifter is a strain that you need to try.
