The Ultimate Guide to Smoking CBD

By: Glory Finnegan

Did you know that how you choose to use CBD, will affect how it works? 

In fact, being aware of the the type of CBD experience you want to have will help you choose the best medium to consume CBD, whether through smoking, ingesting, or consuming it sublingually. 

We'll take a closer look today at  smokable CBD; one of the most popular ways people enjoy their daily dose of CBD. We'll share the benefits of smoking CBD, the risks of smoking CBD, and the wide plethora of options available to you should you choose to smoke CBD. 

Can you smoke CBD?

Yes, CBD can be smoked through CBD vapes, CBD cigarettes, CBD pre rolls, and raw CBD flowers. However, after the recent controversy surrounding CBD vapes, we no longer suggest you smoke CBD in this form.

What are the benefits of smoking CBD?

The benefits of smoking CBD are that it offers the most effective route of delivery. Whether you choose to enjoy CBD through a CBD cigarette or a CBD pre roll, all  smokable forms of CBD will offer the same benefits of smoking CBD. 

CBD inhalation has the most rapid effect

Out of all of the ways you could possibly imagine using  CBD, smoking (inhalation) offers the most effective route of delivery. This means that the benefits of smoking CBD can be felt almost immediately after use. 

A route of delivery is the phrase used to identify the path that a substance takes when it enters our body. Inhalation is the fastest route of delivery and the most rapid way to experience the benefits of smoking CBD because the substance can travel directly to the brain without being disrupted by our circulatory system. 

Non-intoxicating and won't get you high

CBD-rich hemp flowers closely resemble the appearance and smell of marijuana, but will not bring about any negative psychoactive effects.  Hemp flowers are CBD-rich and low in THC (below .3%), offering a calming and relaxing sensation, without getting you "high". 

Offers a natural alternative to vaping

When vaping first rose to popularity in recent years, many believed that it was a much healthier alternative to smoking. However, this thought has been debunked after a rise in vaping lead to a national health epidemic of lung injuries and illness. 

The vaping health crisis caused scientists to take a closer look at common ingredients within vapes, and currently, the ingredient of concern that scientists believe may be the culprit is the  vitamin E acetate present within vape solutions. 

If smoking is your preferred route of delivery when it comes to your daily dose of CBD;  CBD flowersCBD pre rolls, and CBD cigarettes allow you to smoke the raw hemp plant itself - no ingredients added. 

Helps to support healthy inflammatory function 

Inflammation is on everyone's mind these days because for much of western society, it's become a chronic issue. Chronic inflammation is known to lead to achey joints, stiffness, and pain, among other issues. 

CBD has been shown to help support healthy inflammatory function. In a study published by the Journal of Experimental Medicine, CBD was shown to reduce inflammation and aches in an animal-based study. 

May assist those looking to quit nicotine cigarettes

Thanks to a recent study published by Addictive Behaviors, there's evidence to prove that CBD may help people looking to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes.

In the study, it was observed that smokers who used a CBD inhaler throughout the day smoked fewer cigarettes than usual and reported a reduction in nicotine cravings. 

Supports a calm mood

Whereas marijuana has been a go-to for those struggling with stress, recent literature shows that the high amount of THC within marijuana may enhance feelings of anxiousness or paranoia. 

CBD, the calming cannabinoid within marijuana, is present in a higher content within the  hemp plant. Therefore, the benefits of smoking CBD from a hemp plant might be the better option for those struggling to calm the mind. 

Neurotherapeutics performed a recent review and confirmed that CBD may be helpful in improving the symptoms of anxiety.

What are the risks of smoking CBD?

There are two risks you should be aware of when smoking CBD:

  1. Smoking a CBD cigarette or a CBD pre roll may appear to others that you're smoking marijuana due to the similar smell and appearance. The company you buy your CBD smokables from cannot be held responsible in the occurrence of a misunderstanding of the product’s true nature. Buy and consume responsibly.
  2. Smoking has been shown to cause potential long term effects on the lungs. However, if smoking is the method you enjoy using to consume CBD, choose a CBD smokable with 100% pure CBD and no nasty additives for a pure smoking experience.

CBD Flowers: What is CBD Flower?

What is commonly called "CBD flower" is actually CBD-rich hemp flowers. CBD is a singular cannabinoid that comes from the hemp plant, which often causes people to identify hemp as the "CBD plant".

How does CBD flower make you feel?

CBD flower will have a different effect on each unique person due to biodiversity. However, either a relaxing or energizing sensation is most often reported due to CBD's ability to interact with our body's  endocannabinoid system, the system that brings balance to the body.

Can you fail a drug test due to CBD flower?

It is highly unlikely that you will fail a drug test due to CBD flower. Common drug tests are testing for the presence of the chemical THC, and while CBD flower contains small amounts of THC (.3%), you would have to be consuming large amounts in order for it to show up on a drug screening.
