With the advent of legalization in many US states, convenience may eventually win out over the traditional, but for now flower is still the best-selling cannabis product. For some of us, rolling a joint or smoking a bowl with our buddies is a nostalgic ritual we are loath to give up. We will always want to feel and smell the raw power of the flower. Here are the flower brands you need to know as we head into 2023.

Along with the legalization of THC in many US states, CBD has become a multi-billion dollar business. Hemp-derived CBD and Delta-8 products are legal in most states, and as Marijuana’s “little sisters,” CBD and the minor cannabinoids are not as psychoactively potent but still produce many of the other effects of weed. CBD is used to reap the benefits of cannabis for everything from pain relief to skin issues, while hemp-derived delta-8 has about two-thirds to one-half the psychoactive potency of traditional delta-9 THC but may produce similar pain relief and relaxation levels. 

The move toward cannabis normalization has provided the consumer with many choices for consumption. CBD can now be found in just about any form you might want - topical, edible, smokable. Delta-8 can also be consumed in multiple ways - even applied to hemp flower for traditional smoking. We weeded through the offerings to find the best. Here are our Spring 2023 picks for CBD and Delta-8 brands.
