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.

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.
