Full-spectrum CBD oil contains the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds naturally found in the hemp plant, including trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). The term “full spectrum” means the product has undergone minimal processing, preserving these additional compounds to closely mirror the plant’s original composition. At Connolly & McKenna, our organic CBD oil is free from chemical processing, ensuring the full array of cannabinoids remains intact.

These compounds work together to create what’s known as the entourage effect, where the combined action of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds enhances the therapeutic potential of the oil. Full-spectrum CBD oil also includes terpenes and flavonoids, aromatic compounds that contribute to the oil’s flavour and aroma. Terpenes are thought to have their own therapeutic properties, further boosting the effects of CBD through the entourage effect.

The presence of small amounts of THC in full-spectrum CBD contributes to the entourage effect and may offer additional therapeutic benefits when combined with other cannabinoids and terpenes. This holistic approach is often preferred by those seeking a more natural and comprehensive wellness solution.
