Full Spectrum vs Broad Spectrum vs Isolate
There are different kinds of CBD oil, which can affect how your product hits. Full spectrum CBD (as mentioned above) is the oil that is initially extracted from the hemp plant, containing all of the plant’s cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Broad spectrum CBD is the same oil, only with the detectable amounts of THC filtered out. This filtration also removes some of the other hemp compounds in the process. Still, both full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD are robust oils, bursting with healthful hemp compounds. CBD isolate is CBD with all other hemp compounds removed, making it 99% pure CBD.
With our full spectrum CBD + THC line of products, we add extra delta-9 THC to the full spectrum oil, taking it right up to the legal limit!
Why Full Spectrum Includes THC & Minor Cannabinoids
As noted above, full spectrum CBD is the robust oil that is initially extracted from the leaves, buds, and stalks of the hemp plant. These parts of the plant contain all of its valuable cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and healthy fatty acids. Those cannabinoids include the two major cannabinoids, CBD and THC, as well as over a hundred minor cannabinoids, including CBG, CBN, and CBC.
Legal THC Limits (0.3% Rule) & Compliance
The 2018 US Farm Bill made the growth, manufacturing, and sale of hemp products legal in the US, so long as the product contains less that 0.3% THC (as measured by dry weight). Though the THC content in some of our full spectrum products has been boosted for additional “chill,” all products are compliant with the 2018 US Farm Bill.
