Smoking CBD can cause various side effects, some of which are listed here.

Smoking CBD entails — surprise, surprise — inhaling smoke, which raises the possibility of respiratory problems. Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxins that form when plant material is burned. Cannabis smokers are exposed to polyaromatic hydrocarbons found in both tobacco and cannabis smoke.

Fortunately, cannabis smoking does not carry the same side effects as smoking cigarettes. While smoking CBD flowers in excess can cause respiratory issues like bronchitis or COPD, no causal link has been found between smoking weed and cancer, which is one of the most serious risks associated with smoking cigarettes. Even if you’re not a smoker, smoking anything, including cannabis, can have negative consequences.

Self-reported respiratory symptoms among cannabis and cigarette smokers focused on a 2007 study published in the Harm Reduction Journal. According to a new study, using a vaporizer can reduce respiratory symptoms among regular cannabis smokers.

Check with your doctor before smoking CBD if you’re taking any prescription medications because it may interact with them.

High-CBD vs. low-CBD hemp flowers

Despite their similarity in name, the differences between these products will determine whether or not you can purchase them.

THC, the intoxicating cannabinoid found in marijuana, is among the cannabinoids found in Hemp. On the other hand, Hemp does not produce an intoxicating amount of THC when consumed.

The hemp plant can produce the non-intoxicating and medicinally valuable CBD in high concentrations, even though it doesn’t produce much THC. Certain hemp strains produce Cannabis-like flowers, and they can be mistaken for the high-THC variety sold in licensed dispensaries.

In many countries, the amount of THC produced distinguishes between Hemp and marijuana. A Cannabis sativa L. plant with no more than 0.3 percent THC by weight is considered industrial Hemp in the United States. The Farm Bill of 2018 has made it legal to purchase hemp flowers online in nearly every state.

In states where it’s legal, the high-CBD flower can only be purchased from licensed dispensaries because it exceeds the THC limit for Hemp. While it has a higher concentration of CBD than most cannabis flowers on the market, it’s also likely to have a high concentration of THC…

How does it feel to smoke CBD?

Smoking CBD can have various effects depending on the product and the user. For example, using a high-CBD vape pen that contains some THC is likely to have different effects than using a pure CBD isolate.

Besides getting you high or intoxicated, CBD can provide a sense of tranquility and well-being. Cannabidiol (CBD) has various effects depending on the dose and the individual. Overconsumption of CBD can make you sleepy, but there have been no serious side effects reported.

Smoking CBD has been linked to a reduction in swelling and pain, in addition to a sense of well-being.
