Hemp, a type of Cannabis sativa plant, is among the trending medicinal and CBD cannabis products. The buds are the plant’s flowers and contain high cannabinoid levels.

While the primary objective of marijuana growers and breeders was to increase THC levels in cannabis strains to meet market demand, the recognition of the effects of CBD has made growers switch to a CBD-rich variety low on THC. This made cannabis to be legally available in the US.

Read on to find out more about hemp buds.

What Is hemp bud?

Hemp is a Cannabis sativa species strain grown for the industrial use of its derived products. It is a fast-growing plant and was among the first to be spun into usable fiber over 10,000 years ago.  You can refine hemp into different commercial products, including textile, paper, clothing, paint, insulation, animal food, and biofuel.

Who Can Grow Hemp?

GROWING MARIJUANA

If you want to grow hemp, you require a license from your state’s Agriculture and Consumer Services. Finding out whether your state allows hemp growing is also vital before embarking on this venture.

To attain a license, you will provide receipts to prove your agricultural income, in which case, you should be a farmer who makes a significant part of your income through agriculture.  

As a hemp farmer, you will also provide GPS coordinates of where you will grow and store hemp, given the sensitive conditions required to regulate THC content.

How To Produce Hemp

Production of cannabis comprises years of genetic selection and plant interbreeding.  The success and value of the strain in production will depend on the following factors:

  • Production scale and method
  • Adaptability and disease resistance
  • Seed production and manufacturing
  • Flower characteristics such as color, structure, flavor, resin quality, and volume.

What To Consider When Using Hemp

Hemp buds are usable in different ways, each with pros and cons. However, before you decide to use hemp, you should consider the following:

CBD activation:

CBD consumption methods entail the application of direct heat to the plant material. The heat activates the cannabinoids, making them available for absorption and use by the body hence increasing efficiency.

Organic:

If you want to access CBD organically, consider the pure hemp flower. This plant material is raw and unprocessed, hence an appropriate CBD alternative for individuals allergic to chemical substances often used in the manufacture of CBD oil products.

Bottomline

Whether you grow or consume hemp, you should be well aware of the legal and market requirements. This way, you will produce safe consumer products enabling you to maintain production in the long run.
