In medical cannabis, broad spectrum refers to products that contain a range of cannabinoids and terpenes, but not the full profile found in full spectrum products. Broad spectrum may include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but the exact balance of cannabinoids depends on the cannabis cultivar and how the product is processed.
These products sit between full spectrum (which contains the widest mix of compounds, including THC) and isolate (which contains just a single cannabinoid, such as cannabidiol (CBD)).
What is Broad Spectrum CBD?
Broad spectrum CBD is another way of describing a broad spectrum product, but one where cannabidiol (CBD) is the main cannabinoid present. These products still contain other cannabinoids and terpenes, but not the full profile you’d expect from full spectrum. They may or may not contain THC, depending on how they are formulated.
