Why Broad Spectrum Cannabis Products are the Better Choice: 5 Reasons to Consider
When it comes to cannabis products, the options can be a bit overwhelming. Should you go for a distillate that packs a punch with high levels of THC or CBD, or is full-spectrum the better way to go? If you’re not sure which one to pick, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Let’s break it down so you can feel confident about your choice.
Spoiler alert: Broad-spectrum cannabis products have some amazing benefits that might just win you over.
1. The Magic of the Entourage Effect
Ever heard of the “entourage effect”? It’s like a superhero team-up, but for cannabis! Full-spectrum cannabis keeps all the natural compounds—cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids—working together to give you a much richer experience. It’s these compounds interacting with each other that really make full-spectrum products stand out. Click here to learn more about the “entourage effect!

2. Better for Overall Wellness
If you’re looking for cannabis to support your health and wellness, broad-spectrum products might just be your new best friend. Since broad and full spectrum products contain more of the natural plant compounds, they offer a broader range of benefits. Need help with pain? The combination of cannabinoids and terpenes can offer more comprehensive relief. Feeling anxious? The naturally occurring CBD can help balance out the effects of THC, keeping you calm and collected.

Distillates can still be effective, but they tend to be a bit one dimensional; for instance, a high-THC distillate might be great if you want a strong buzz, but not so much if you’re looking for a well-rounded experience that’s gentle and therapeutic.
3. You Get More Bang for Your Buck
Here’s a fun fact: Broad-spectrum cannabis often works better at lower doses compared to distillates. That’s right—you might not need as much to feel the effects. Because the cannabinoids and terpenes work together, broad-spectrum products tend to be more potent, more effective, and last longer at lower amounts.
So while full-spectrum products might cost a bit more upfront, they can actually be more cost-effective in the long run. And for a different method of consuming these products, consider trying some of the awesome tinctures or full-spectrum RSO products that we offer!
4. Fewer Unwanted Side Effects
We’ve all heard the stories of someone taking a bit too much THC and ending up feeling paranoid or anxious. Broad-spectrum cannabis can help prevent that. Thanks to the mix of cannabinoids, especially the balancing effects of CBD, you’re less likely to experience those uncomfortable side effects. Additional cannabinoids, such as THCV or CBG, can also help provide an energy boost, while maintaining functionality.
Distillates, especially ones high in THC, don’t have this built-in balance and this is why some people find them to be a bit too intense. Broad and Full-spectrum products give you a more mellow and even experience, making it easier to enjoy the ride without worrying about feeling overwhelmed.

5. A Better Flavor Experience
Let’s talk about taste! Full-spectrum cannabis keeps the plant’s natural terpenes and flavonoids intact, which means you’re getting the real, authentic flavor of the plant. Whether you love the citrusy zing of limonene or the soothing notes of linalool, broad-spectrum products bring the full flavor experience.
Distillates, by contrast, are often stripped of these natural flavors. While some distillates do have terpenes added back in, they rarely capture the full essence of the plant. If you’re someone who enjoys the sensory experience of cannabis—the smell, the taste—full-spectrum is where it’s at!
Final Thoughts: Why Broad-Spectrum Shines
When you compare broad-spectrum and distillate cannabis products, it’s clear that broad-spectrum offers more well-rounded benefits. From the powerful entourage effect to better flavor and fewer side effects, full-spectrum products give you the complete cannabis experience. Whether you’re using cannabis for health reasons or just to relax and unwind, full-spectrum is a more natural, effective option.
So next time you’re shopping for cannabis, remember: broad-spectrum is like the entire cast of a blockbuster movie, while distillate is more of a solo performance. Both have their merits, but full-spectrum brings the whole team together for a better, more balanced experience.
In short, if you want the most out of your cannabis experience, give full-spectrum a try. It’s a friendly option that just might become your new favorite!
