Inhalation of Hemp Flower Smoking and Vaporizing
Yes, you can benefit from smoking/vaporizing CBD rich hemp flower. Smoking is the original method of ingesting healing CBD. Many enjoy and receive great relief from smoking their CBD rich hemp flower. While we don't generally recommend smoking, due to it's pro-inflammatory markers, small reductions in lung function accompanied by respiratory symptoms such as a cough and wheeze we offer a few tips and several fabulous products to help with the toxins that come with heating hemp. We are also not suggesting that hemp smoke is anywhere near as toxic, addictive or dangerous to health as tobacco smoke, when you combust plant material into your lungs, there are unavoidable carcinogens and toxins that come as part and parcel.
With our modern times, many new CBD products have been developed for ingesting cannabinoids that eliminate the need for smoking. But, smoking is a method that many find pleasure in. It is historically the most authentic method of ingesting CBD. So with that said, we wanted to lend a hand and help to make it a healthier option when ingesting cannabinoids via the lungs.

Consider utilizing a dry herb vaporizer
Dry herb vaporizers generally rely on conduction to heat the cannabis directly, but there are also vaporizers which rely on convection heating mechanisms. Convection involves heating the contents of the chamber (i.e. your dry herb) by way of hot airflow over the contents. We recommend using convection-based vaporizers because they tend to heat the hemp to about 356 degrees F, the ideal temperature for most herbs.
Using a convection-style vaporizer tends to be a healthier and more effective choice as compared to smoking. Combustion is a more dangerous way to enjoy your herbs due to the smoke and combustion process creating harmful by-products and carcinogenic compounds. Not to mention smoke itself is irritating to the throat and lungs, causing damage and inflammation that could be especially concerning for those with asthma, allergies or other breathing issues.
Other Benefits Of A Dry Herb Vaporizer Include:
Staying well hydrated and keeping your throat moist
Firstly, when smoking, one needs to consume extra water to keep our throat passage way well hydrated and add protection from smoke irritants, while helping one expel any trapped toxins.
Ditch the Butane Lighter for a Hemp Wick
Assuming that the Butane in your lighter is properly refined, the byproducts of this type of combustion are Carbon Dioxide and water vapor; both entirely harmless when ingested. But, due to the metallic oxides in the Ferrocerium flint, if it were to break and create a dust, or become lit, ingesting the fumes would be hazardous to your health. In addition, the flame burns at a much higher temperature due to the chemical nature of the fuel being used, which potentially burns off more Cannabinoids in your product.
Because Hemp Wick burns at a lower temperature, this technically means that less Cannabinoids will be wasted by extreme heat, and instead ingested. As well, because the products involved in combustion are simply hemp and wax, the only potential fumes of ingestion are very trace amounts of hemp which create no health risk. Some people even swear that the taste is better too.
Filter your Water Pipe
If you use a water pipe you may think the water is eliminating the toxins, but studies have shown that water pipes may only reduce toxins, not eliminate. So give a try of "Yoshi's One Hit Wonder Filter". The results are astonishing. Yoshi's Filter goes over the mouthpiece on one's water pipe traps and traps the toxins within the eco organic filter. You visually see the toxins that would have gone into your throat and lungs after just one hit!
The ‘right’ way to inhale
It’s all about filling the lungs with the right amount of smoke or vapor, along with some fresh air. If you do this right, you will be getting the most from your cannabinoids, and not turning red in the face fighting to hold that precious puff in for as long as possible.
Try incorporating the following steps, and see if you notice the difference:
CBD and all the other compounds, are only absorbed above the first bronchial split. That means that any excess smoke which exceeds the capacity of the lungs, will overflow into the trachea and even the mouth and nose. All of that is as good as wasted medicine.
Reason number 2 for not holding in tokes excessively is that with smoke (as opposed to vapor) there are also some toxins and carcinogens, which shouldn’t be let to hang out in the lungs for longer than necessary.

Other Benefits Of A Dry Herb Vaporizer Include:
- Improved and enhanced flavor (due to lack of smoke)
- Reduced scent/smell for a more discreet way to enjoy in public
- Portable, concealable pens are compact and easy to take on the go
- Don’t require an “ignition source” such as a lighter
- Produce the optimal temperature at which you get the most actives cannabinoids from your flower, improving the overall experience

Try incorporating the following steps, and see if you notice the difference:
- Ensure you have take in an invisible column of smoke-free, fresh air, to plunge that hit deep into the lungs
- Inhale slowly, smoothly and constantly, filling your lungs 2/3 full with smoke or vapor, then inhale some fresh air, nice and deep.
- Inhale as deeply as you can in order to totally fill the surface area of the lungs.
- Wait a few minutes between puffs so as not to over-titrate. You may get the same effects from one puff as from three.
