What are CBD Flower Strains?
What a history marijuana has. Most people now raise an eyebrow when they see CBD flower, wondering whether it's the same psychoactive green thing that causes drug tests to fail. Truth is said, times have changed. CBD is currently sweeping the globe. CBD comes from the hemp plant, but it's not the same cannabinoid that most people connect with stoners—the flower may appear similar, but it's not the same hemp derivative that gets you high. When it comes to marijuana, there are legal ramifications that vary by state, but CBD hemp flower is legal and a terrific method to get the advantages of CBD into your system.
There are two main types of flower strains, Sativas and Indicas.
Sativa
Sativas are recognized for their energetic, exhilarating impact, which can help relieve anxiety and tension while also increasing creativity and attention.
Cannabis sativa thrives in hot, arid regions with long days of sunshine. Africa, Central America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Western Asia are among them. Sativa plants have finger-like leaves and are tall and slender. They may reach heights of more than 12 feet and take longer to mature than other cannabis varieties. Sativa generally has lower CBD levels and greater THC levels. Sativa is known for giving users a "mind high," or an energetic, anxiety-relieving effect. You may feel active and creative instead of calm and drowsy if you utilize Sativa-dominant strains. Sativa can be used during the day because of its stimulating effect. Acapulco Gold and Panama Red are two prominent Sativa strains.
Sativa Strains
- Acapulco Gold
The golden tint of its green and/or brownish buds distinguishes Acapulco Gold, a Sativa-dominant hybrid. This vintage strain is reported to generate a strong cerebral high that lifts one's mood without making one feel overly happy. Instead, for a soothing experience, the cerebral high is combined with a calming bodily high.
- Panama Red
Panama Red is a classic Sativa-dominant cannabis strain that was popular in the 1960s. It has blazing red pistils all over its deep green buds. It has a perfume and flavor that is reminiscent of herbal tea and/or wood, with overtones of fresh soil. Panama Red is a landrace strain called for the nation where it was developed. Panama Red has a THC content of 10% on average, with some crops reaching 16 percent. Though it doesn't have the highest THC content, it's known for its characteristic Sativa benefits of increasing energy, encouraging creativity, and lifting the spirits as all negativity departs the body and mind.
Indica
Indicas are known for their full-body effects, including as profound relaxation and the reduction of sleeplessness. Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and Turkey are all home to Cannabis indica. The plants have adapted to the Hindu Kush mountains' typically harsh, dry, and tumultuous climate. Short and stocky, with luxuriant foliage and large, broad leaves, Indica plants are short and stocky. They develop quicker than Sativa and generate more buds per plant. CBD levels are frequently greater in indica strains, although THC levels aren't always lower. Indica is prized for its very calming properties. It may also aid in the reduction of nausea and discomfort, as well as the stimulation of appetite. Indica is best ingested at night because of its profound relaxing effects. The Hindu Kush and Granddaddy Purple are two prominent Indica strains.
Hindu Kush's size reflects its mainly Indica ancestry. Indica plants are much shorter and stockier than Sativa plants, and the Hindu Kush strain is a perfect example of this, seldom growing taller than 5 feet. The Hindu Kush produces a gradually increasing high that starts with physical relaxation and continues to a state of mental fogginess. Users will experience a heavy sensation in their limbs and head and may find it difficult to be active.
Also known as Grand Daddy Purps is a prominent Indica strain on the west coast and possibly the most well-known 'purple' cannabis strain in the United States. Grand Daddy Purple hits both the body and the head at first, but like most powerful Indicas, it rapidly fades into a nice body buzz. Granddaddy Purps is an excellent pain reliever for patients. In addition, it can help with insomnia, melancholy, and anxiety.
Flower strains containing CBD are growing in popularity, more so now that the stigma associated with cannabis is dissipating and new research is available. Although CBD is usually derived from hemp, it can also be extracted from the hemp plant's flowers, leaves, and stalks. This is explained through the use of the two main strains and the strains attached to them.
