Can You Smoke Hemp Flower?
Yes - hemp flower can be smoked. Whether the experience is intoxicating depends on the type: THCa hemp flower produces psychoactive effects when smoked, while CBD hemp flower does not.
Smoking is one of the most common ways to consume hemp flower. It produces faster onset than edibles or tinctures – typically within minutes – because cannabinoids are absorbed directly through the lungs. THCa hemp flower smoked at TribeTokes’ potency range of 22-28% THCa produces effects comparable to traditional cannabis. CBD hemp flower smoked at similar quantities produces little to no intoxicating effect.
One thing to know before you buy: smoking THCa hemp flower will cause a positive drug test. Standard screening tests detect THC metabolites, and smoking converts THCa into those same metabolites. If you are subject to workplace or legal drug testing, do not smoke THCa hemp flower.
