Consumers have realized that smoking or vaping CBD flower derived from hemp is an effective way to get a dose of CBD without waiting an hour or two to feel like effects from CBD oil. Smoking CBD flower has several benefits including relief from anxiety and pain.

The rise of indoor grown CBD flower
The quality of CBD flower has improved significantly over the past couple years. Historically, hemp has been grown outdoors. But recently, cultivators have increased indoor hemp production. Growing hemp indoors allows cultivators to have total control of the entire growing process. Cultivators have used this control to develop a new standard for CBD flower.
