What is Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?

By CBD American Shaman   |   June 04, 2020

What is Full-Spectrum CBD?

At the furthest end of the CBD spectrum, full-spectrum is the least refined CBD. Full-spectrum CBD contains more than just CBD. It also contains other cannabinoids, including traces of THC, and the plant’s other natural elements, like terpenes, vitamins, proteins, flavonoids, and more. In other words, after CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, it isn’t further refined to strip excess plant ingredients. This may seem to be pointless to have extra ingredients in CBD oil, but these ingredients can help increase the performance of the CBD oil. Full-spectrum oil can be viewed as leaving the CBD in its purest form with the full range of natural nutrients found in hemp. Some also call full-spectrum CBD “whole-plant CBD” because it includes all the natural nutrients from the whole plant.

 

Does Full Spectrum CBD contain THC?

Yes, full-spectrum CBD does contain a small amount of THC. THC, short for tetrahydrocannabinol, is the cannabinoid found in cannabis plants that create the intoxicating or high effect in users. Hemp-derived CBD legally cannot contain more than 0.3 percent THC. Since there are such small amounts of THC in full-spectrum CBD products, you will not get high from using them. CBD may also have the ability to counteract the effects one might get from the small amounts of THC. So, even though full-spectrum CBD does contain some THC, you won’t get high from it at all.

 

What are the Benefits of Full-Spectrum CBD? 

Since full-spectrum CBD contains more than just CBD, it may have the ability to be more effective than CBD isolate. This is due to the entourage effect, including the various other cannabinoids that are present to improve the ECS. These cannabinoids include cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabidiol acid (CBDA), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabigerol (CBG), and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Because full-spectrum CBD contains a wide range of cannabinoids, they can work together to interact with the different receptors in the ECS. The phytochemicals from the cannabis plant can also offer more benefits by improving aspects of cognitive function. 

 

What is the Entourage Effect? 

The entourage effect refers to the enhanced effectiveness of the other components extracted from the cannabis plant. These components are found in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD, which includes flavonoids, cannabinoids, and terpenes. When these components in CBD oil are taken together, they work together to improve the effectiveness of the CBD oil. Research has shown CBD interacts with different cannabinoid receptors than THC does, meaning both of these cannabinoids can simultaneously interact with different receptors in the ECS. With the help from the other cannabinoids and plant extracts, full- and broad-spectrum CBD are able to work more effectively to help boost and stimulate the ECS. 

 

Full Spectrum CBD Oil Takeaways

Full-spectrum CBD oil is the least processed CBD available on the market and it can offer more benefits due to the entourage effect. Even though it does contain THC, it doesn’t make the user high because it is so minute. CBD isolate contains pure CBD while broad-spectrum CBD is similar to full-spectrum without the THC. Full-spectrum CBD works with the various aspects of the endocannabinoid system to offer more effective results. Test out a few types of CBD to figure out what’s best for you.
