What You Should Know About Smoking CBD Flower and THC

Contrary to popular opinion, there are many similarities between tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD. They both have the ability to reduce anxiety and are the most prevalent cannabinoids in cannabis plants. They even share the same chemical make-up (the atoms are just arranged differently). One term best describes the fundamental distinction between THC and CBD: intoxication.

CBD flower is frequently described as "non psychoactive" or "having no psychoactive effects," however the more accurate term is "non intoxicating." This is due in part to the fact that, while CBD will not get you high, it may have a mild calming effect, which is considered a psychoactive side-effect.

This is due to the endocannabinoid system's response to the presence of THC and CBD. While CBD has been demonstrated to have the opposite interaction with CB1 receptors, serving as an antagonist, THC connects with the CB1 receptors in the brain to produce the traditional marijuana high. By reducing the negative side effects like anxiety and a quick heartbeat, CBD appears to enhance the medicinal and pleasurable effects of THC when used.

The time it takes for CBD's benefits to take effect is highly dependent on how you choose to ingest it. Some people prefer to consume CBD flower by inhalation, while others prefer oral administration or topical application. 

Smoking CBD flower is frequently advised as a mode of administration due to how quickly it is absorbed by the body after inhalation. When you smoke or vape CBD, cannabinoids enter the lungs and make their way into the bloodstream, where they can travel throughout the body. Because of this the effects of smoking CBD are noticeable soon after inhalation. Conversely, edibles may take up to two hours to have an effect.
