// Definition
A cannabis extract that retains the complete range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds rather than isolating individual molecules. Full spectrum extracts preserve the entourage effect and are valued for therapeutic applications.
// From the Episode
Harry Rose discussed creating full spectrum extracts for critically ill patients during the Proposition 215 era, emphasizing that the interplay of all plant compounds produces superior medicinal effects compared to single-compound isolates. He contrasted this with GW Pharmaceuticals' Epidiolex, which uses CBD isolate rather than whole plant material.
