What is Cannabis flower?
 
The smokable part of a Cannabis plant, known as flower or bud, is akin to other plants like Willow and Kiwi. In the world of Cannabis, plants are categorized as either male or female. It's the female Cannabis plants that exclusively produce the flowers, while the male counterparts generate the essential pollen required for seed production.
 
How does Cannabis flower work?
Cannabis plants begin to flower towards the end of their growth cycle. Once mature, the flowers are harvested, trimmed, dried, and cured. Drying is essential, as it is when the THC flower becomes psychoactive. Curing is also important for the flavor profile and long-term quality.
 
Cannabis flower is ready to be consumed once it is fully cured.
