Resin or CBD flower: which to choose?


Resin or CBD flower? It's not easy to make a choice when you're not familiar with the subject. Two products derived from hemp that are often confused, yet very different. Texture, concentration, aromas, use, each has its own specificities, so Mama tells you all you need to know about these two products.


Things to remember

  • The flower is a raw product, lighter and more subtle.
  • The resin is more concentrated, compact and powerful.
  • The choice depends on consumption habits and aromatic preferences.

Fleur de CBD, a raw and natural product


The flower is the heart of hemp. This product undergoes no chemical transformation. It's the rawest product, the closest to the plant. Harvesting, drying and sometimes a little cleaning, and that's it!


In terms of appearance, you'll quickly notice shiny trichomes, compact leaves and an airy structure. Flowers may vary in color, density and size, depending on their genetics and cultivation, but you'll recognize them by their natural appearance.


The effects felt


Expect a gentle, gradual sensation, nothing too brutal. The CBD flowers flowers have calming effects. They help you relax without knocking you out. Perfect if you're a novice user or want a light routine.


The smell and taste of CBD flower


You may come across floral, lemony, woody or sweet aromas. The terpene profile makes all the difference. Remember that the more natural, the more subtle, like Mama Kana flowers, for example, which are 100% natural.


How to use CBD flowers?


The two preferred methods of consuming flowers are vaporization and combustion, but Mama urges you to opt for the former.


Vaporization heats the flower without burning it, thus preserving the aromas. Consumption in this way avoids toxins and enables rapid absorption of CBD (in 5 to 20 minutes). So you can enjoy the benefits without damaging your lungs.


You can of course smoke your own flowers, but I wouldn't recommend doing so, especially with tobacco. Combining these two substances destroys some of the beneficial components of CBD. So, if you want to get the best out of the flower, choose a good vaporizer and enjoy.

Cannabis resin or flower

CBD resin, a concentrated and compact form


Resin is a processed CBD product. The plant's trichomes, the small resinous glands, are collected and pressed or processed using various methods (Moroccan, Lebanese, Indian, but that's not the subject of our article here). The result is a dense, concentrated and compact product.


resins come in many forms, from a crumbly light yellow block to a sticky black paste. It all depends on the method, the variety used and the storage conditions.


CBD content and effects


The CBD resin resin hits harder. Levels often exceed 20% CBD, so you feel the effects faster. It's also more economical for the same dose, as you use less product.


The sensory profile of resins


Here, we're in for a real treat. Wood, earth, spices, sometimes intense resinous notes, it's just as varied but much more powerful. The aromas are more pronounced than in a cheap CBD flower . The whole is less subtle, but much appreciated.


How to use the resin


It vaporizes well if you have the right device. Some people heat it to mix it with other plants. Resin is discreet, keeps better than CBD flower and is predictable in terms of quality of experience.

How do you choose the right product for your needs?


For a gentle, natural routine: CBD flower


If you're looking for lighter relief, flowers are still a safe bet. It's easy to dose, you're in control of how you feel, and you enjoy a vegetal taste without excess.


For a stronger, faster effect: CBD resin


Resin works faster and harder. It's ideal if you're already used to it or want more direct relief. You can also use less product for better results, provided you handle it properly.


Conservation and discretion


The flower is more sensitive to humidity, light and air. It quickly loses its aromas if poorly stored. Resin, on the other hand, is more resistant to the passage of time and is a little less delicate.


Choose according to your aromatic preferences


If you like sweet, lemony or floral fragrances, Mama recommends a flower.


If, on the other hand, you prefer intense, woody, spicy scents, Mama recommends a resin.


In the end, it's as simple as that. Your nose and palate will tell you what they like best!


A little recap of the Mama to help you find your way around

  • Flower: soft, natural, subtle aroma, gentler relief.
  • Resin: concentrated, more intense taste, rapid effect, requires a little more control.

You see, no product is better than the other, it really depends on what you're looking for when you need it and your expertise with these products. Take the time to listen to your body and try both if you like. Mama Kana is here to guide you, not to force you. It's your time, your choice, your CBD!
