Many people enter the CBD world and find it overwhelming with the amount of terminology associated with Cannabidiol. It is easy to get mixed up or lost in the verbosity. CBD is extracted from hemp and is a type of cannabinoid that offers therapeutic benefits without the concerns of getting euphoric or high. Hemp is also a type of cannabis plant like marijuana, but has a high level of CBD compound and a negligible amount of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol that is responsible for the high.

Marijuana extracts generally contain high THC or the ratio with CBD can be 1:1, while hemp extract includes 0.3% THC only and more of non-psychoactive CBD compound. If you want a legal product then choose hemp extracts because they are approved on the state level. At Express Smoke Shop, you can buy a variety of products including bubbler pipe, oil cartridges, vape pens and even CBD for treating pets.

CBD Extract Types

Full-spectrum CBD

When the extract contains every phytochemical found naturally in the plant including CBD, traces of THC, essential oils, and terpenes, then it is called full-spectrum. The full-spectrum extract acquired from hemp holds negligible THC content. As the extract holds a full spectrum of active compounds, the health benefits amplify. This phenomenon is called an entourage effect.

Remember that, even if the product is full-spectrum CBD extract, it can give false positives in a drug test. This happens if your daily usage of CBD hemp-based full-spectrum oil is more. If you desire to avoid this then choose the broad-spectrum extract.

  • Includes flavonoids and terpenes for extra health benefits

Cons

  • Possibility of showing in drug test is high
  • Carries strong aroma and flavor of hemp

Some users may find broad-spectrum CBD helpful because it offers an entourage effect, while a few may alleviate their pain symptoms with high CBD Isolate dosage. There are also users, who need THC to experience the difference. Which option to choose needs trial and error?
