Both are full of benefits, let’s find out all the properties of this honey rich in cannabinoids and how to DIY at home.

Types of cannabis honey

One of the most successfull companies applying this method is PhytoPharma International, an Israeli enterprise working in the cannabis technology trade, which obtained a completely natural hemp honey, highly bioavailable and non-psichoactive because poor in THC.

Another type of cannabis honey is obtained through infusion, putting hemp flowers or a cannabinoids’ concentrate inside regular nectar.
