What Is CBD Flower?

CBD flower (sometimes called CBD hemp flower or CBD bud) is the dried blossom of low-THC industrial hemp. It is naturally rich in cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid, and very low in THC, the compound that causes a “high”.

In the UK, CBD products are typically marketed to adults looking for a way to relax or unwind without the intoxication associated with high-THC cannabis.

How Do People Use CBD Flower?

There are several ways adults claim to use CBD flower in the UK:

• Herbal tea: Steeping CBD flower in hot water with a fat source (such as milk or coconut oil) to help extract cannabinoids.
• Dry herb vaporisers: Some adults use specialist devices to heat hemp flower without burning it.
• Smoking: Although we do not recommend smoking, many adults in the UK report using CBD flower in a rolled form, similar to tobacco or traditional cannabis.

Our position: Our CBD flower is sold and labelled as tea only. We do not advertise, promote, or recommend smoking in any way.

Is Smoking CBD Flower Safe?

No form of smoking is completely “safe”. Even if a product contains no nicotine and very low THC, burning plant material creates smoke that can irritate the lungs and airways.

Potential risks associated with smoking CBD flower may include:

• Irritation of the throat and lungs.
• Coughing or short-term breathing discomfort.
• Inhalation of combustion by-products (similar to any smoked herb).

Some adults choose CBD hemp flower because it doesn’t contain nicotine and is very low in THC, but that does not mean smoking it is risk-free. If you have any health conditions (especially lung or heart issues), you should talk to a healthcare professional before using any CBD product.

CBD Flower vs Tobacco & High-THC Cannabis

Many people searching “is CBD flower safe to smoke” are comparing it to cigarettes or high-THC cannabis.

• No nicotine: CBD hemp flower naturally contains no nicotine, the addictive substance found in tobacco.
• Very low THC: CBD strains used in legal CBD products are bred to be low in THC, so they do not produce the same “high” as illegal cannabis.
• Smoke is still smoke: Even without nicotine or high levels of THC, any smoke can be harsh on the lungs.

This is why many people prefer CBD tea, oils, capsules, or other non-smoked options when they are concerned about lung health.

CBD Flower & UK Law

UK regulations around CBD hemp flower are complex and can change. In general, strict rules apply to hemp, THC levels, and how products are marketed.

Because of this:

• We only sell CBD flower as a loose herbal tea product.
• We do not market or label our CBD flower for smoking or inhalation.
• We recommend you carefully check the latest local laws and guidance before purchasing any CBD product.

If you are unsure about the legal status of CBD flower in your area, speak with a legal professional or refer to official guidance.

Why We Sell CBD Flower as Tea Only

To stay aligned with UK guidance and to promote more mindful, lower-impact ways of using CBD, we choose to sell our CBD hemp flower as herbal tea only.

Our packaging, product descriptions, and branding are clear:

• CBD flower is sold as tea, not as a smoking product.
• We do not recommend or encourage smoking in any form.
• Adults across the UK may choose to smoke CBD flower, but that is their personal choice and responsibility.

We encourage customers to explore non-smoked options such as tea, oils, edibles, and other alternatives where appropriate.

CBD Flower Safety: Frequently Asked Questions

Does CBD flower get you high?

No. CBD hemp flower used in legal CBD products is bred to contain very low THC, so it should not make you feel “high” in the same way as illegal cannabis. However, everyone is different, so start low and go slow with any new CBD product.

Is CBD flower addictive?

CBD itself is not considered addictive in the way nicotine or some other substances are. However, the act of smoking (and mixing CBD flower with tobacco) can still be habit-forming and carries its own risks.

Is CBD flower safer than tobacco?

CBD hemp flower does not contain nicotine, which is responsible for much of tobacco’s addictive potential. But smoking any plant material still produces smoke and combustion by-products that can affect the lungs. Using CBD as a tea or in other non-smoked forms is generally considered a more lung-friendly option.

What is the safest way to use CBD flower?

No method is completely risk-free, but non-smoked, non-vaped options are usually considered gentler on the lungs. That is why we sell CBD flower as a herbal tea and do not recommend smoking. Always talk to a healthcare professional if you have any health concerns.
