Cannabis flower, sometimes referred to as buds, are part of the cannabis plant. They contain the highest concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes, the compounds responsible for the plant’s potential effects, aroma, and flavour.
These active compounds are produced in the trichomes, tiny, crystal-like structures found on the flower’s surface.
In a medical context, cannabis flower is typically prescribed in dried form, known as flos, the latin word for flower.
Cannabis flower is a controlled drug in the UK. It is only legal when prescribed as a cannabis-based medicine by a suitable healthcare professional.
Yes, ‘cannabis flower’ and ‘bud’ are two names for the same part of the plant. Both refer to the trichome-rich flowers that contain most of the plant’s active compounds. At Curaleaf, we prefer to use the term flower or flos in recognition of the legitimate medical uses of the flower.
