What is Full-Spectrum?

Full-spectrum describes a cannabis extract that retains the plant’s full range of cannabinoids and terpenes, including THC.

Full-spectrum products aim to preserve the complete chemical profile of the plant—multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds—rather than isolating a single one. Many consumers prefer them based on the entourage effect, the idea that these compounds work better together. Because they include THC, full-spectrum products can be intoxicating depending on concentration.
