What Is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in cannabis.

Unlike THC, CBD does not produce the intoxicating “high” commonly associated with THC. However, CBD-rich cannabis flower can still contain THC, so consumers should always check the cannabinoid percentages listed for the specific product they are considering.

That’s especially important with cannabis flower because potency can vary between strains and batches.

CBD is also different from hemp. CBD can come from either hemp or marijuana, and the type of cannabis product matters when you’re comparing products and their cannabinoid profiles.

CBD Flower vs. THC-Dominant Flower

The biggest difference between CBD-rich flower and traditional THC-dominant flower is the cannabinoid profile.

THC-dominant cannabis typically contains much more THC than CBD. CBD-rich flower flips that balance, offering substantially more CBD relative to THC.

That doesn’t mean CBD-rich flower is “better” or “worse.” It simply gives cannabis consumers another option.

Some shoppers specifically seek CBD because they want to explore a different cannabinoid profile. Others enjoy having more choices when comparing flower.

At Life Flower, we think knowing what’s in your cannabis is a big part of being an informed shopper.

Are CBD Strains the Same as Hemp?

Not necessarily.

People often use the words “CBD” and “hemp” interchangeably, but they don’t always mean the same thing.

CBD refers to a cannabinoid.

Hemp refers to cannabis that falls within the applicable legal definition of hemp based on its THC content.

CBD can occur in both hemp and marijuana varieties of cannabis. Because of that, a cannabis flower product can be CBD-rich without being a hemp product.

For dispensary shoppers, the easiest way to understand what you’re buying is to look at the product’s cannabinoid percentages and the information provided by the retailer.

Why Can CBD and THC Levels Vary?

If you’ve ever compared cannabis products, you’ve probably noticed that cannabinoid percentages aren’t always identical from one batch to another.

That’s because cannabis plants are agricultural products.

Genetics, growing conditions, harvest timing, curing, and other factors can contribute to differences in the final cannabinoid profile. Testing can also show different results between batches.

Because of that, don’t assume that one strain will always have exactly the same CBD or THC percentage.

Check the current product information before making your selection.

What Should You Look for When Choosing CBD Strains?

Choosing a CBD strain doesn’t have to be complicated.

Start by looking at the cannabinoid profile.

Check the CBD Percentage

Look at how much CBD the flower contains. A higher CBD percentage means the product contains more CBD by weight, but percentage alone doesn’t tell you everything about the flower.

Check the THC Percentage

CBD-rich doesn’t necessarily mean zero THC.

Some CBD flower contains trace amounts of THC, while other products may contain a higher percentage. Always check the current lab or menu information for the specific batch.

Look Beyond the Numbers

Cannabinoid percentages are only one part of cannabis.

You may also want to consider:

• Aroma
• Flavor
• Terpene profile
• Genetics
• Freshness
• Cultivator
• Growing practices
• How the flower was cured and stored

At Life Flower, we believe the best cannabis shopping experience includes looking at the whole flower, not just one number on a menu.

Why We Carry CBD Flower

At Life Flower, we want our customers to have choices.

Some people are looking for high-THC cannabis. Others are interested in CBD-rich flower. Some shoppers simply enjoy comparing different cannabinoid and terpene profiles to see what they prefer.

That’s one reason we maintain a diverse flower selection.

Our knowledgeable budtenders can help you look at the current CBD flower options, compare cannabinoid percentages, and find products that fit what you’re looking for.

CBD Flower at a Denver Dispensary

If you’re shopping for CBD strains in Denver, you can explore Life Flower’s current selection online or visit us in person.

Our Denver RiNo location is at 3450 Brighton Blvd., and our Glendale location is on Leetsdale Drive. We offer medical and recreational cannabis and carry a range of flower, concentrates, edibles, vapes, tinctures, and other cannabis products.

CBD and Wellness: What We Know

CBD has received a lot of attention for potential wellness uses, but it’s important to separate established facts from marketing claims.

Research into CBD is ongoing, and the FDA notes that there are still important questions about the safety, quality, and effects of many CBD products. The FDA has also warned consumers about unproven claims that suggest CBD can treat or cure medical conditions.

For that reason, Life Flower focuses on education rather than making medical promises about our CBD flower.

If you are taking medications or considering CBD for a medical condition, talk with a qualified healthcare professional about whether it is appropriate for you.

Learn more about the FDA’s regulation of cannabis products and see recent research on CBD safety.

How to Shop for CBD Strains at Life Flower

When you stop by Life Flower, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Our budtenders can help you compare the CBD and THC percentages listed for the current flower on our menu. They can also help you explore aroma, flavor, genetics, terpene profiles, and the different cultivators behind our flower.

And because our flower is displayed in glass jars, you can take a look and smell it before making your choice.

We think that makes shopping for cannabis a little more personal—and a lot more interesting.

Final Thoughts on CBD Strains

CBD-rich cannabis gives shoppers another way to explore the cannabis plant beyond traditional high-THC flower.
