// Definition
A holistic cannabis medicine philosophy that emphasizes using the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids present in the whole plant rather than isolating individual compounds. Pure isolated CBD or THC alone produces diminished or one-dimensional effects compared to full-spectrum preparations.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman gave an analogy comparing cannabis to cold-pressed juice, explaining that isolating terpenes from pineapple, apple and mint then recombining them with water misses the medicinal value. He stated that nobody has actually mapped all 85-108 cannabinoids with terpene profiles, and isolating compounds defeats the purpose of the full spectrum approach.
