What Are the Benefits to Smoking Organic Cannabis Flower?
Being able to go to your local dispensary has truly changed the game when it comes to buying cannabis. The options are seemingly limitless. Top shelf indoor hydroponically grown flower competes with outdoor greenhouse grown classics. Among the choices, organic cannabis flower has become an increasingly popular and sought after option.
Are there Benefits to Smoking Organic Cannabis Flower?
You might be wondering if there are specific benefits - health related or otherwise - that make organic weed so popular. Like organically grown foods, organic cannabis is held to a high standard and offers a handful of benefits over non-organic options. We know there are many benefits to smoking cannabis as it is. But what benefits are specific to organic cannabis flower?
Environmentally Friendly
If sustainability and being environmentally friendly is a priority for you then organic weed is the way to go. Most importantly, organic soils and plant foods are healthier for the plant and for you. Organic weed is grown outside, where laws allow. Using natural light cuts down electricity use and keeps the local water supply clean.
Better Flavor and Potency
Anyone who has tried organic cannabis can tell you it's true. The growing techniques and organic fertilizers make a difference beyond environmental impact. Organic weed is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, all of which impact flavor and potency.
Healthy Plants and No Toxins
One of the reasons people prefer organic is the natural growing process. Unlike most legally grown marijuana, organic cannabis isn't grown using any pesticides or fungicides. Big brand fertilizers and nutrients are replaced with organic ones. All of this creates a healthier plant with no risk of toxins or chemicals lingering from the growing process.
Organic VS Natural Cannabis – What’s the Difference?
Something we see often in grocery stores may become more common in dispensaries as well. Organic versus natural, what are the differences and why do they matter?
When something is grown organically it is grown without use of artificial pesticides, fungicides, or other chemicals. The plant food and the soil which the plants are being grown in also needs to be natural. There is a strict process to obtain organic labeling.
There are no hoops to jump through to call your product natural. In fact, anyone can claim to provide a naturally or produced grown product. With no one regulating what can be called natural you have to put your trust in the brand alone to be honest with you.
Usually, those selling a natural product will try to minimize use of potentially harmful chemicals but are unable to meet the high standards needed to receive the organic status.
How do Organic Cannabis Brands Like Fleur Get Certified?
The thing is, the federal government regulates what can be considered "certified organic" and this means that cannabis cannot get the same organic label as say, your fresh produce. So, if weed can't be USDA certified as organic then how can anyone claim to provide a truly organic product?
There are a few different certifications that have cropped up along with the newly legal industry. However, the most trusted certification not only in the U.S. but globally, is the Clean Green Certification. Since 2004 the brand has been ensuring that cannabis brands bragging organic status meet the requirements of organic growing.
The Clean Green Certification ensures that the weed is grown using only natural pesticides and fertilizers as well as their compliance with state cultivation laws. If you want to know that your cannabis is the highest quality organic you can get then this is the certification to look for.
