Can you smoke CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the biggest components of the cannabis plant. While it doesn’t have the “high” effect that you get from THC, there are many benefits to smoking and using CBD in general.

CBD has many health benefits. People often recommend using it for pain, inflammation, and aches and pains. You can buy it in a variety of ways. From edibles, to topicals, using it will depend on your personal preference.

CBD or THC?

CBD and THC are two parts of the same plant. They are not the same, and although similar in looks and texture, they also don’t really smell the same or taste the same. Many people recommend a 1:1 of CBD and THC for a better effect. 

As I mentioned, CBD and THC look very similar. You can break CBD up and mix it in with your weed as you’d like. In fact, some people regularly smoke CBD alone. It helps you feel relaxed, and calm, as well as generally relieve you of any pain. This is true whether you smoke it, or ingest it in any other way.

Where can I buy CBD?

CBD, because it contains less than 3% of THC, is not regulated as strictly as THC. This means that buying CBD is as easy as visiting your local head shop. I highly recommend you do your research, and recommend you buy from reputable sources like Ranchera Familia.

You will even find CBD and other hemp products sold at your local gas station. But I would dissuade you from buying those, and many of them tend to be counterfeit products. These products can even be found at head shops, which is why it is so important that you do your research.

What is the difference between CBD flower and CBD edibles?

In terms of effects, there is no real difference between ingesting CBD flower or CBD edibles. In fact, I would say the only slight difference is that you might feel effects sooner with smoking or vaping CBD flower.

CBD edibles are recommended for those who are looking to incorporate CBD in a non invasive way. CBD edibles come as a variety of candies, including gummies and lollipops, and even chocolates. 

CBD Topicals

What about CBD Topicals?

CBD topicals are effective for a number of reasons. When applied directly to problem areas, it can work as a localized pain reliever. CBD is known to come in a variety of balms and lotions, all offering relief for sore muscles or injuries.

Is Smoking the Best Way to Ingest CBD?

There is no real best way to use CBD. Each use has its own benefits. The most important part of using CBD is to remember that there will be a lot of trial and error. Once you find what works for you, you will understand how effective it can be. Regardless of if you smoke it, eat it, or apply it.

Just as with any cannabis journey, we recommend starting slow, but consistently. Also remember that CBD counteracts the effects of THC, so it might be a good idea to keep some on hand if you’re a regular cannabis consumer.
