CBD Buds and Premium Hemp Flower – An Alternative to Marijuana?
CBD Buds? Premium hemp flower? Yes, you read that right. Since the passage of the Farm Bill of 2018, industrial hemp has been made federally legal for interstate commerce.
What is Industrial Hemp?
According to BDLaw.com,
Industrial hemp is considered any part of the cannabis plant with no more than 0.3 percent of tetrahydrocannabibol (THC) on a dry weight basis. Farm Bill Sec. 10113 (amending 7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.). Section 12619 of the Farm Bill formally removes hemp-derived products from Schedule I status under the Controlled Substances Act, although it does not legalize CBD more broadly. The Farm Bill authorizes CBD only to the extent that it is contained in hemp produced in a manner consistent with the Farm Bill and other federal and state regulations.

Readers of this site know that we are big proponents of industrial hemp since the beginning. The benefits of hemp are countless, such as paper products, textiles, bio-plastics, bio-fuels, cooking oil, whole food nutrition, and of course cannabinoids, such as CBD, CBN and CBG.
Using industrial hemp in modern society can replace cutting down trees for paper products, and using fossil fuels to make plastics and fuels. Furthermore, industrial hemp products are biodegradable and have a lower carbon footprint. It’s a win-win for being able to live in modern civilization while also reducing its potential negative effects on the planet.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and Other Cannabinoids
There is an intense interest in CBD and other cannabinoids, such as CBN and CBG, but CBD by far gets most of the interest.
CBD oil is extracted from Farm Bill Compliant hemp plants in different ways, and placed in CBD tinctures, CBD capsules, CBD liposomes, CBD topical balms, edibles, such as CBD gummies, and even CBD vape cartridges and CBD vape juice.
Many of these products are beginning to mix different cannabinoids together – such as CBD & CBN – to try and mimic the “entourage effect” individuals get when smoking hemp it’s pure form.
Smoking CBD Buds and Premium Hemp Flower
The “entourage effect” is the buzz experienced when different cannabinoids work in unison. And even though legal hemp has less than 0.3% dealt-9-THC, there is still a slight “buzz” that users report. It’s nothing like the strong THC strains found today, not by a long-shot, but it nice enough to offer an alternative for those needing to “kick the habit.”
CBD buds look and smell like weed. There are a handful of strains that are very high in CBD that are becoming very popular with many users. Take, for example, the premium hemp experts at CBD Axis and Lit Pharma.
They focus on sourcing strains with high amounts of CBD, such as Cascade, Suver Haze and Hawaiian Haze. You can check out more strains at the CBD Online Store.
Can CBD Buds and Hemp Flower be an Alternative to Weed?
Absolutely. If you are thinking about quitting THC, but still want to grind, roll and smoke something identical (minus the THC), the hemp flower is for you. Many of the strains feel, look and smell like premium marijuana strains, and you’ll still get enough of a buzz to keep the urge away.
Many alcoholics are also trying CBD buds as a way to keep the urges of needing a drink at bay. It’s natural, organic and federally legal. What are you waiting for? Start here.
