The Different Types of CBD – Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and CBD Isolate

If you are new and interested to learn about the different types of CBD products, this post is for you. There is a considerable difference between the 3 main variations of CBD on the market. Here we break down the 3 main types of CBD which may be available to you in some countries, states, and territories where it’s legal. Medically and legally speaking it can serve you well to know what the different types mean as a consumer. Not all CBD products are made the same so it is important to know what you may be getting.

So let’s touch on the 3 main types of CBD products below, we will start it off with CBD Isolates;

CBD Isolate Information

CBD Isolate is a product that has undergone additional refining, at which time all of the other cannabinoids, terpenes, and natural components have been removed.

As the term “isolate” suggests, cannabidiol (CBD) is a substance that is extracted on its own and solely includes pure CBD.

Isolate is commonly prescribed in Australia due to the stringent restrictions around drug testing at traffic checkpoints, which do not make allowances for full spectrum CBD products. Furthermore, up until recently, there were not a lot of broad spectrum CBD oils on the market.

Only products containing CBD isolate will be allowed to be sold over-the-counter after recent revisions in rules made it possible to legally sell CBD isolate only products in some places.

Next up is Full Spectrum CBD oil;

Full Spectrum CBD Oil Information

CBD oil with a full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other naturally occurring compounds is derived from the entire cannabis plant and contains all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other naturally occurring compounds that are found in cannabis.

There are a lot of people who believe that the therapeutic potential is at its best because all of the components combine synergistically to create superior therapeutic results.

There are traces of THC present in full spectrum CBD (typically between 1 and 3 percent). Even while this level of THC is not enough to induce impairment in most cases, it is nevertheless possible for it to be detected in samples of saliva, urine, and blood.

Unfortunately, even patients with a valid prescription for medical cannabis are still subject to random drug testing at roadside checkpoints, and patients who test positive for drugs could face legal repercussions.

Last but not least, here are the details for Broad Spectrum CBD Oil.

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil Information

Full spectrum CBD oil can be further refined to remove any traces of THC, resulting in broad spectrum CBD oil. Full spectrum CBD oil is not the same as broad spectrum CBD oil.

The finished product does not include THC but does include all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other naturally occurring compounds that are found in cannabis but do not occur naturally in the plant.

People who want to take advantage of the ‘entourage effect’ but don’t want to run the risk of testing positive for THC while driving should consider purchasing broad-spectrum CBD oil. This product is suitable for people in that situation.

Our Final Thoughts

When you shop CBD online or before you buy CBD in store, be vigilant and carefully read the fine print on every CBD product you want to purchase. As discussed in this post, there are 3 main types of CBD and some are legal here, some are legal there (the devils in the detail). Not to mention, they all have varying effects on the user so make sure to consult with a medical practitioner before buying.

If you are confident about the 3 main types of CBD and what it will do to you based on past experience etc. and you are sure you won’t break the laws where you buy and consume it, go for it. Just make sure it’s definitely legal, use it safely, don’t take it to a place where its not allowed and seek information from professionals before doing anything your unsure of.

That’s it everyone, have a wonderful time with CBD and stay #420.
