Proper hemp flower storage is about more than just keeping it fresh - it’s also about keeping it safe for consumption. Improper storage can cause hemp flower buds to lose their quality. To help protect your CBD hemp flower investment, we’ve compiled the top three hemp flower storage tips to achieve optimum enjoyment. Tip #1: Store hemp flower in a cool, dark place Like all CBD products, hemp flower should be stored in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. This keeps the buds from overheating and getting too humid or drying out if they’re in a non-airtight container (more on this below). If you keep your hemp flower in a sunny spot, UV light will damage the cannabinoids in the buds and diminish the flower’s potency. UV light also destroys terpenes (the compounds that give plants their aromas and flavors), causing your fresh CBD flower to look and taste like grass. To improve your flower’s lifespan and freshness, choose a cool, dark storage place like ... Continue reading →

Cannabigerol (CBG) is commonly called the "mother of all cannabinoids" because its acidic form (CBGA) forms new cannabinoids as it matures. CBG is known for its restorative and rejuvenating effects, and research has shown that CBG works to fight inflammation, pain, and nausea in the body as well as slows the proliferation of cancer cells. CBG is found in much smaller amounts in cannabis plants (around 1%) than other well-known cannabinoids like CBD and THC. This makes products derived from CBG less common and often more expensive. But as research continues into the therapeutic benefits of this cannabinoid, CBG is rising in popularity. How Do CBD & CBG Work In The Body? CBD and CBG are both non-psychoactive (meaning they won’t get you high), and the two cannabinoids share many similar characteristics. The main difference between CBD and CBG is how they interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex nerve cell signaling system that ... Continue reading →

While you may not know exactly what terpenes are, if you’ve ever enjoyed the smell of blooming wildflowers or been taken aback by the pungent odor of the corpse flower, you’ve definitely experienced them. Terpenes are natural compounds that give plants their unique aromas and flavors. CBD users may be familiar with the term from seeing it on product labels, but exactly what are these beneficial compounds, and why should you care about them? What Are CBD Terpenes? CBD terpenes are terpenes that are commonly found in hemp. They are the chemical compounds that give hemp flower strains their various aromas and subtle tastes. They also offer plants protection against things like bacteria, fungus, environmental stressors and insects. Research has identified at least 100 terpenes in the cannabis plant. Terpenes are produced in the trichomes of the hemp plant. If you look closely at the hemp flower, you can see tiny hairs with bulbous gland heads – these are trichomes, and ... Continue reading →
