Flowers

Cannabis Flower Categories:

Indica

Indica strains are often used at night due to their sedative effects and body high. These indica effects are great after a long day and can help you unwind. Other benefits include:

• Pain relief
• Reduced anxiety
• Better sleep

Sativa

Sativa strains are great for daytime use. They can help boost your energy and give you a creative kick. That’s why they say sativa has more of a ‘head high’. Sativas can also help:

• Elevate your mood
• stimulate appetite
• Alleviate depression
• Improve focus

Hybrid

Hybrid strains give you a taste of both sativa and indica, and they can be Sativa-dominant, Indica-dominant or balanced. Ideal for both daytime and nighttime use.

• Balanced varieties produce body and head high
• Alleviates anxiety and stress
• Relieves symptoms of radiotherapy and chemotherapy

Benefits of Flower

The main appeal of flower is how quickly you feel the effects after taking a hit. Inhaling the smoke means that the compounds in weed, also known as cannabinoids, absorb rapidly into your bloodstream through the lungs, typically within minutes.

There are also plenty of flower strains to choose from, so with a bit of experimentation, you can find the one that works best for you at any particular time.

Many people have favourite strains, and you can also tailor the flower you smoke to your moods and activity you’re doing.

How to Use Flower

Joints and Blunts

The oldies are often still the best, and smoking a joint is a classic way to consume marijuana for a reason. Rolling and smoking a joint is often a social experience, but you lose out on accurate control of how much THC you’re getting. If you’re looking for a social high, this is an excellent method to do so.

Pipe

The great thing about pipes is that they’re so easy to use. Unlike a joint, there are no rolling skills required for pipes- simply load the bowl, light it, and puff. With a huge variety of pipes to choose from, many people find themselves owning an impressive pipe collection to go with their weed.

Vaping

Unlike smoking or bongs, vaping heats the flower until the cannabinoids get vaporized, but not so high that the plant material catches fire and burns. Thus, you get all the cannabinoids and flavour of the flower, with none of the smoke. This makes vaping much easier on your lungs.

Not only are there vapes designed for flower, but also for concentrates and cannabis oils. These non-flower vapes include vape pens and they are very popular because they’re often smaller and much easier to carry around than flower vapes, which tend to be bulkier and not as portable.
