Not quite. Broad Spectrum, Full Spectrum, and CBD Isolate are three different methods of producing products from the cannabis plant. Each method utilizes a different amount of chemical compounds or cannabinoids from the original plant to produce its intended effects.
Full Spectrum contains all cannabinoids found in the plant, including THC.
Broad Spectrum removes only the THC from the product, while all other cannabinoids remain.
CBD Isolate is pure CBD by itself. All other cannabinoids are removed, along with all their benefits.
Cannabinoids work together to bring out the best in each other and create what is known as the entourage effect. This teamwork causes the effects of cannabis to be much more potent. Therefore, full spectrum cannabis products have the strongest effect, however, because of the THC, full spectrum products are illegal in many states and can cause users to test positive on drug screenings. However, broad spectrum cannabis products are legal in all 50 states, won’t cause a user to test positive on a drug screening, and still deliver strong results due to the entourage effect.
