Understanding CBD Flower
CBD flower is derived from the hemp plant, a variety of cannabis cultivated primarily for its high CBD content and low levels of THC (less than 0.2% to comply with UK law). The CBD flower contains an abundance of cannabinoids – one of which is CBD – along with terpenes and flavonoids, which combine in unique ways to create complex flavour profiles and aromas.
CBD flower comes from the same family of plants as cannabis, but the important distinction is its negligible THC content. THC is a cannabinoid too, and it’s the reason some strains of cannabis make users “high”.
Is CBD Flower Full-Spectrum?
Yes. It's the one form of CBD that reaches you completely unprocessed because nothing has to be extracted or added between harvesting and selling. It’s simply dried, cured and sent to you looking almost exactly as it did on the plant.
Oils, isolates, and distillates are all made by extracting specific compounds from the plant, which means a manufacturer can choose between creating full-spectrum or broad-spectrum. The flower doesn't go through that process at all, which means it contains the plant's natural range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
Why No Two Batches Taste Exactly the Same
This is a natural product, so small differences in a strain's genetics, growing conditions, and harvest timing can show up in the flower in the form of subtle shifts in aroma, flavour, or trichome density from one batch to the next.
We test and describe every strain individually for exactly this reason, rather than relying on one generic description to cover every harvest.
Storing Your Flower Properly
It behaves like any other dried herb. light, heat, and air will gradually cause it to lose potency, while too much humidity risks mould growth. Store it in an airtight, opaque container somewhere cool and dark like a cupboard, rather than a windowsill, and consider a humidity pack if you won't get through it quickly.
Stored properly, flower holds onto its flavour and potency for months; left in a plastic bag on a sunny shelf, it can noticeably decline within weeks.
How CBD Interacts with the Body
There's a lot researchers still don’t know about CBD’s interactions with the body, and no one should be making any definitive claims yet. What we do know is that CBD flower interacts with the body’s native endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is a network of receptors that regulate functions like sleep, mood, pain, and immune response.
The precise nature of that interaction is still a mystery, which means that a lot of our current understanding stems from anecdotal evidence – in other words, the effects (long- and short-term) that users report, and unofficial studies of limited groups of people over limited timespans.
How to Use CBD Hemp Flower
More versatile than an oil or a gummy, our flowers are used for a lot of different reasons – and in many different ways – by our customers, and the team here at HighnSupply.
Teas and infusions
Just as camomile and jasmine flowers have been used in teas for centuries for their soothing aroma and taste, so too has hemp flower. A small amount of the flower steeped in hot water for five minutes will produce a warming, soothing tea with that distinctively robust and earthy spice to it. Some people choose to sweeten it with sugar or sweetener, but brewing the flower in water that is just off the boil will give you a very complex, delicate flavour that many enjoy on its own.
A quick tip: CBD’s fat-solubility means that it’s best consumed alongside a healthy source of fat, like a drop of milk or cream.
Always consult a doctor or healthcare professional before use, particularly if you are pregnant or taking any medications.
Baking
It doesn’t start and end with brownies, although that’s never a bad option. There are so many things you can bake and cook with hemp flower, from cookies and cakes to kitchen staples like CBD butter and oils. The key step in any CBD bake is decarboxylation, also known as decarbing. While it sounds complex, it simply means heating the flower to remove a specific cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) in order to raise the bioavailability of the CBD.
Topical Application
CBD is absorbed easily by the skin, and some users create CBD-infused oils or balms from CBD flowers. Our CBD skincare follows these same principles, offering you an easy way to experience CBD without smoking or consuming it.
Is CBD Flower Legal in the UK?
Yes, CBD flowers are legal in the UK, provided they contain less than 0.2% THC. At HighnSupply, we strictly adhere to UK regulations, ensuring that all of our CBD flowers are compliant with the law. Every batch is lab-tested to confirm it meets these legal requirements, guaranteeing both safety and quality.
It’s important to note that while CBD flower is legal, the sale and purchase of CBD flowers can sometimes be misunderstood due to its close association with cannabis. Always ensure that you’re buying from a trusted and reputable source like HighnSupply, where quality and compliance are top priorities.
