How to Use CBD Hemp

How to Use CBD Hemp


 Many people still think the only method of consuming cannabis is smoking dry flower or eating pot brownies that taste like they have been soaked in bong water. Thankfully there are so many other ways of benefiting from cannabis. These options are often healthier than smoking cannabis flower and less mysterious than random edibles.

 Keep in mind, when meeting a set daily serving size, ingesting the same strength of CBD in different methods can feel stronger or weaker due to the absorption rates. For example, vaping 1 mg of CBD would feel much stronger than consuming 1 mg in a capsule.


You may have noticed smoking dry flower (via pre-rolls, pipe, etc.) is not on this list. This is because here in New Mexico (where The CDB Boutique is located) we are not a hemp state. We cannot grow hemp here and dry flower cannot legally be transported across state lines, as clearly stated in The Hemp Farm act of 2014. For this reason, selling dry hemp flower would put our business and our customers at risk. At The CBD Boutique customer safety and satisfaction is top priority and we would never jeopardize your that by selling products that could potentially be problematic with our state's laws.  Furthermore, when smoking dry flower with a lighter (such as in a joint) you’re heating the cannabis over 2000℉, while cannabinoids start to degrade at about 350℉. Vaping/dabbing CBD rich hemp is a much more sensible and effective.


 We hope this information will help you find a product or a mixture of products that will best fit your individual needs. We love to hear feedback, so if there is any way we can make these blogs more beneficial for you, please email us at nova@thecbdboutique.com!

CBD and Anxiety

   Bills, work, chores, interactions, struggle, and strife. The backbone of life, and the necessities of achievement. Lifes daily battles for some can be tolerable but for others may cause crippling stress. This is especially common when accompanied with chronic pain/illness, social/emotional conflict, and/or other past/present trauma. Most Americans today have a high amount of responsibilities to juggle. A survey by the American Psychological Association, conducted in 2014, consisting of 3,068 adults, found that the leading cause of stress is money and that 3 in 4 adults experienced stress over finances. Other popular causes of stress in Americans include work, family responsibilities, and health concerns. Types of Stress:  Stress is normal, and everyone deals with being stressed out from time to time. It can be beneficial to stress and worry when necessary, in order to avoid unpleasant or dangerous situations, but overwhelming stress can make even c...

All About Vaping CBD

An alternative to cigarettes. Are you trying to quit smoking cigarettes? Well, you're not alone. Over 40 million American adults are addicted to cigarettes, and over 480,000 deaths a year can be blamed on smoking cigarettes alone. Cigarettes are known to be hazardous to health due to their content of nicotine, tar, and other harmful chemicals. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance that can cause some people to feel more focused and boost mood, but unfortunately, the withdrawals from nicotine can be extremely unpleasant. Common withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and headaches. This can make it extremely hard to quit smoking tobacco, but long-term exposure or inhalation of cigarette smoke can lead to chronic lung disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer of the lungs, larynx, esophagus, mouth, and bladder! So many people know the risk associated with cigarettes but can't seem to quit due to withdrawal symptoms or simply t...

Food Pairing with CBD Rich Hemp

Pairing beneficial properties, not just flavors.  Food doesn’t just affect the fullness of our bellies, but also strongly contributes to our overall health and well being- hence the old saying, you are what you eat. Food will attribute to everything from the energy you have to complete daily tasks, to your mental and physical health. When using cannabis-based products, the food you consume can also have an effect on the cannabinoids in your system.  Pairing CBD rich hemp with foods , herbs, and spices can be a natural way to enhance the effectiveness of cannabinoids. You probably are familiar with some cannabinoids found in cannabis like CBD , THC, CBG etc. (if not you can learn more here: https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/list-major-cannabinoids-cannabis-effects ) What you might not know is that cannabinoids, and other compounds found in cannabis, are also present in other plants we consume quite frequently. Cannabis is, after all, just another helpf...
