CBD is one of the many chemical cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. This and other compounds are responsible for the effects of marijuana. CBD is non psychoactive while it does provide many healing properties.

The extraction of this compound from the marijuana plant provides us with a pure substance CBD isolate. The compound has been isolated from all other plant matter. You are now left with a “pure” CBD product. For healing properties, this produces amplified qualities for medicinal use.

CBD isolates are decarboxylated, so this allows you to use them as they come. Ingest the isolate and let it get to work. This form of CBD is a perfect method of consuming a strong,effective dose when only wanting to use cannabidiol.

There are some that believe in the theory that the synergistic effects when using CBD full-spectrum oil is far more beneficial than using a pure isolate. This effect was noticed when treating inflammatory conditions. Full spectrum CBD does contain trace amounts of THC as well as some other cannabinoids including CBN, CBG, THCV. Some people prefer the CBD full spectrum for the addition and enjoyment of certain plant terpenes.
