You now know that both spectrums use whole-plant extracts containing CBD with terpenes, essential oils, and most importantly, other cannabinoids. And because each spectrum includes cannabis elements other than CBD, they allow for the “entourage effect.”
However, the main difference between the two is the THC content: full spectrum CBD contains THC and broad spectrum CBD doesn’t. The THC included with full spectrum CBD oils isn’t enough for consumers to become intoxicated, although extraneous use may lead to a positive drug test reading. Broad spectrum CBD might serve best for people who are a bit more cautious about having THC in their system or who live in a state with tighter laws regarding cannabis for adult use.
