What is CBD flower and how is it used?
By Vapor Spirit Fachteam
More and more people in Switzerland are interested in hemp products containing cannabidiol
(CBD). Buying CBD flower means choosing a natural plant product without any psychoactive
effect.
CBD flower refers to the unprocessed, dried flowers of the female hemp plant. It
contains cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, among other things. These plant compounds
are being studied in connection with the so-called “entourage effect”
by scientists.
At Vaporspirit.ch, a Swiss supplier since 2015, only
lab-tested CBD flower is offered. All products comply with the legal
requirements of Switzerland (THC content below 1 %).
What is CBD flower?
CBD flower consists of hemp flowers with an increased cannabidiol content and a THC value of
below 1 %. This makes it legally available in Switzerland.
Cannabidiol (CBD) has no psychoactive effect and does not cause
intoxication.
Many consumers report that they use CBD flower as part of their
personal routine, for example for relaxation or general
well-being. However, it is not a medicinal product.
The flowers offered by Vaporspirit come from controlled cultivation and are
tested for their cannabinoid profile and purity.
Production of CBD flower
Production begins with the selection of suitable hemp strains. Depending on the strain,
cultivation takes place Indoor, in a greenhouse or Outdoor.
After harvest, the flowers are carefully dried and processed. This is followed
by a laboratory analysis to check the cannabinoid content and possible
residues.
How is CBD flower used?
In Switzerland, CBD flower is officially sold as an aroma product or raw material.
1. Use in a vaporizer
Some users use CBD flower in a suitable vaporizer. The
flowers are heated without conventional combustion taking place.
Users report that the compounds can be absorbed via the
airways. Individual perception may vary.
2. Fragrance and aroma use
Depending on the strain, CBD flower has different terpene profiles that are responsible for characteristic
scent notes.
Examples of aroma profiles:
- Fruity
- Earthy notes
- Citrusy
- Spicy
3. Further processing as a raw material
CBD flower is sometimes further processed as a plant-based raw material.
Note: In Switzerland, CBD flower may not be sold as food.
Flowers intended for smoking are considered tobacco substitute products and are subject to the corresponding regulations.
