Rhode Island Hemp Laws: Hemp Cigarettes, Their Benefits, and State Laws

Whether you’re a long-time lover of CBD, or just enjoy a good clean smoke, hemp cigarettes may be a great option for your needs. CBD lovers are growing increasingly interested in hemp cigarettes and other forms of smokable hemp, as they can create a highly bioavailable form of CBD, along with the rest of hemp’s full-spectrum components, and at an incredibly fast rate.

And as hemp consumers are growing more interested in hemp cigarettes, retailers of hemp-derived CBD are creating more widely available options.

But as hemp laws have shifted with the 2018 Farm Bill, some state citizens are left scratching their heads. While many more states have legalized industrial hemp, different rules may apply to specific forms of consumable hemp, and one of these products includes hemp cigarettes.

If you’re a Rhode Island resident, and you’re a little confused about the legality of hemp cigarettes and other smokables, Mr. Hemp Flower is here for you.

Benefits and Uses of Hemp Cigarettes 

Hemp is a plant closely related to marijuana, except it doesn’t possess the same enough THC to get the user high. 

While smoking hemp cigarettes don’t give the same intoxicating effects as its close relative, marijuana, many individuals enjoy it, and consider its effects quite relaxing.

On top of that, smoking hemp flower allows the user to access the full spectrum of hemp’s components, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavanoids, while still containing a low amount of THC.

And as you may be aware, CBD has gained a lot of traction, thanks to the growing research suggesting its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its possible correlation with creating a sense of calm.

Now, while it should be clarified that inhaling any kind of plant matter may pose health risks, hemp cigarettes are a non-carcinogenic, nicotine-free alternative to tobacco products. Plus, the lack of nicotine in hemp cigs makes them non-addictive and has even helped individuals quit smoking.

For instance, research from a blind study at University College London showed that nicotine-dependent subjects who were given CBD reduced cigarette usage by 40%, while those who took placebos noticed no difference.

Plus, you’re still getting the same benefits of CBD and terpenes that you’d enjoy from any other CBD product, but more quickly and without the digestion process of tinctures or edibles.

Is It Legal To Buy Hemp Cigarettes in Rhode Island?

So now you’re probably wondering: are hemp cigarettes legal in the state of Rhode Island?

Yes!

It is also legal to sell hemp flower, as there is no explicit mention of its legality or regulation, although handlers, distributors and retailers must be properly licensed, and cannot sell to individuals under the age of 21. 

At this time, there are no CBD possession limits on hemp-derived CBD products in Rhode Island.

Proof in the Results: Terpenes in Mr. Hemp Flower CBD Cigarettes

When you’re seeking to use hemp flower in its whole form, one of the biggest appeals is those full-spectrum benefits, meaning that you’re going to get all the naturally-occurring compounds found in hemp, including CBD, CBG, and a wide variety of beneficial terpenes.

But we also know that quality varies, and this can seriously impact your hemp cigs’ chance of reaching the entourage effect, resulting in a lower-quality smoke.

That’s why our CBD Cigarettes are made only ith US-grown hemp, which is grown exclusively by experienced farmers throughout Colorado, Washington State, and Oregon, making for a smoke break primed for promoting the entourage effect.

On our site, we have all of our certificates of analysis fully accessible, and you can see our lab tests for hemp cigs here.

Alpha-Bisabolol-1.31 mg/g (.13%)

Alpha-bisabolol is frequently found in plants known for promoting a sense of tranquility; most notably chamomile, and some research even highlights its possible efficacy against anxiety and depression.

Guaiol-1.02 mg/g (.10%)

Guaiol is a terpene known for its woodsy, clean, sometimes “rosy” scent, and while plants with high levels of it have been used in traditional medicine for years, the research is still fairly new. That being said, most of the evidence points to guaiol’s potential for combating pain, like this 2010 study.

Beta-Pinene-.626 mg/g (.06%)

Beta pinene has an especially piney fragrance, and while it, too, has evidence of working well against pain symptoms, beta-pinene also acts as an expectorant, meaning that it helps promote the clearing of air passageways to help treat coughs.

Trans-Caryophyllene .464 mg/g (.05%)

Found in hops, rosemary, and cloves, caryophyllene has actually been researched for longer than many other terpenes, and has been shown to act as a neuroprotective agent by interacting with the CB1 and CB2 receptors to bring down inflammation.

Quality Craftsmanship & Customer Service

Most brands will just fill their cigs with hemp flower, and while we think this is perfectly fine, we thought we could do better.

That’s we fill our CBD cigarettes with premium hemp flower and kief.

Known for its appearance and consistency of an ultra-fine, lightweight dust, kief comes from the resinous trichomes found in hemp, and are loaded with terps and cannabinoids.

The kief in hemp flower is made up of the resinous glands that house the CBD and terpenes, so sifting together just a pinch can transform your hemp smoking experience.

On top of that, our hemp cigarettes are nicotine and tobacco-free, making them a popular alternative to traditional cigarettes.

Last but not least, we have unbeatable customer service. Here are some of our reviews from real customers:
