What makes Akira’s hemp flower unique?
Smoking or vaping hemp flower makes it highly bioavailable and absorbable into the bloodstream through the lungs. Its effects vary greatly from person to person but are generally non-intoxicating, gentle, and promoting a sense of tranquility and well-being.
The cannabis sativa plant contains more than 100 different cannabinoids, active ingredients that fill the receptor sites of the human endocannabinoid system. CB1 and CB2 are the two primary endocannabinoid receptors filled by the various cannabinoids. Cannabinoids conduct and influence a huge range of functions within the body’s physiology, from inflammation to musculoskeletal sensation to memory function to hormone regulation.
Hemp flower is primarily an agent of relaxation and calm. It is an effective counter to mild discomfort, sleeplessness, or tension. Those who use hemp flower may find that it promotes an optimized, peaceful, balanced state of mind and helps them adapt to everyday stress. Hemp flower may also support healthy digestive and circulatory systems. Medicinal hemp flower is non-addictive and its use may support the coping and normalizing process for those who are withdrawing from substances such as tobacco or alcohol. In their organic, untouched state, hemp flowers offer a truly full-spectrum experience because nothing is lost or added in the extraction process.
Our hemp flower is high in CBD and other novel cannabinoids, while posting some of the highest terpene percentages of any flower on the market. Terpenes play a vital role in determining the therapeutic effects of the variety and our drying/curing process is designed around preserving these compounds.
Full-spectrum hemp flower is whole, potent, unaltered plant medicine. It references the synergy of hemp’s flavonoids, volatile oils, terpenes, and cannabinoids, which work together to provide its well-known “entourage effect.” Full-spectrum hemp flower may contain no more than 0.3% THC, the mind-altering cannabinoid which produces a ‘high.’
Drug tests do not test for specifically CBD, but in order for a product to be ‘full-spectrum,’ it will contain trace amounts of THC, which can cause someone to fail a drug test. Even if the amount of THC is very small, as in the case of CBD hemp oil (which does not allow for a presence of THC higher than 0.3%), it may be detected by a drug test. Thus, if an individual is required to take a drug test, we recommend avoiding full-spectrum hemp product.
