You may be hesitating between CBD flowers and concentrates. It's true that each has its advantages, but it also depends on what you're looking for. I've put together a clear comparison to help you make the right choice.


Things to remember


  • Flowers offer a natural, gentler and more complete experience.
  • Concentrates are more powerful, more precise and better adapted to targeted needs.
  • The choice depends on your profile, your expectations and your tolerance to CBD.

CBD flowers: the most raw product


CBD flowers are the plant in its rawest form. No chemical transformations or additions, just hemp, dried, sometimes refined, ready to be consumed, and that's the beauty of it. If you like things simple, natural and authentic, this is the place to start.


The entourage effect and sensory benefits


CBD flowers have the best entourage effect. All the plant's compounds (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids) work together. The result is a more balanced, subtle and often milder effect than concentrated products. And if you pay attention to taste, let me tell you that nothing beats the aromatic bouquet of a good, well-grown flower.


Flower consumption patterns


They can be used in several ways: vaporized (ideal for preserving flavours and effects), or smoked. The CBD flowers flowers are also the closest thing we have to home-grown hemp.


Weaknesses of CBD flowers


On the other hand, CBD levels in flowers are naturally lower (often between 3 and 10%). If you're sensitive or just starting out, that's fine, but if you're looking for a faster, stronger effect, you may need to consume more or consider a more concentrated format.


Another point to note: flowers have a distinctive smell. If you want to consume discreetly, or live in an environment with little tolerance, keep this in mind. And don't forget that legislation requires THC levels to be below 0.3%. It's essential to read product sheets carefully, and to buy from a reputable store like Mama Kana, even if you're buying cheap CBD flower .

CBD concentrates: power, precision and immediate impact


Concentrates are very different from flowers. Here we enter the world of extracts, with the following types of products: resins wax CBD wax crumble CBD crumble, distillates and isolates. CBD is present atvery high levels, ranging from 40% to over 99%. Suffice to say, it's strong!


Who are concentrates for?


If you need quick relief, a more targeted effect, or you already have some CBD tolerance, the CBD concentrates concentrates can be an excellent option. They are often used to manage chronic pain, severe sleep disorders or persistent anxiety.


How to use concentrate


You can consume them as a dab, vaporize them (with suitable equipment), or mix them with an oil or base to create your own customized product. They're pretty versatile, but a little trickier to use than flowers.


Why choose a CBD concentrate?


The main advantage of concentrates is that you have more control over the dose. With an isolate, for example, you know you're only getting CBD, nothing else. This is ideal if you want to avoid even traces of THC, or if you have very specific needs. On the other hand, you lose the entourage effect. Some users experience a more se and linear effect.


Concentrates also require a little more equipment, knowledge and care. If you're curious, like to explore and want quick results, go for it. But if you're looking for something simple and accessible, this may not be the best place to start.

So, flowers or concentrates?


In the end, it's all up to you. Understand what you want from CBD, your level of experience, and what your body can handle. Here are some questions to ask yourself before making your choice:


  • Are you new to CBD ? Start with flowers.
  • Do you want to rediscover the pleasure of natural aromas? Flowers are unbeatable.
  • Looking for a fast, powerful solution? Look no further than concentrates.
  • Do you want to avoid THC altogether? Isolates are for you.
  • Do you want a global, complete, natural experience? Go for the full spectrum of flowers.

Mama Kana offers you both options, always with ultimate quality. Natural, carefully cultivated flowers rich in terpenes, but also powerful, tested and clean concentrates, to give you maximum choice according to what your body and mind require.


And above all, remember that there's no right or wrong choice, just the one that's right for you here and now. Maybe you'll start with flowers, and move on to concentrates for an occasional need. Or vice versa, and Mama is there to accompany you, whatever your path.
