Where the Magic Happens
The flower or bud of the Cannabis plant is what contains Cannabinoids, including THC. In Industrial Hemp, the THC level is .03% or less, but other Cannabinoids such as Cannabidiol (CBD) are found on the flower and to a lesser amount the seeds and stalk. The smokable flower is growing in popularity. The current market price is around $256 per lb. for July 2022.
The average yield per acre in the US for 2021 was 1,235 pounds per acre. It is estimated that 1 thousand acres were grown in 2021 for a yield of over 19 million pounds.
