Hemp flower contains over 100 different types of cannabinoids (CBD or Cannabidiol, CBG, CBN, Delta-8 THC, Delta -9 THC etc.), as well as many other plant compounds.

Some products are made solely from the cannabidiol molecule in isolation.

Others, such as CBD flowers retain all these natural elements and thus allow you to take advantage of the entourage effect, the same is true for Full Spectrum CBD Oils.

What is the entourage effect?

The entourage effect describes the mechanism that reveals the full potential of CBD when is consumed together with the other components of the plant such as THC, other cannabinoids and the terpenes naturally present in hemp.

This term was coined in 1998 by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, who has been studying this herb for over 50 years. He discovered that all the compounds present in the plant (including other cannabinoids, chlorophyll, fatty acids, terpenes and flavonoids) play a role in the medicinal effects of the plant.

Cannabis Synergy: What We Know

The research conducted in 1998 supported the entourage effect theory when it was proven that the fatty acids in cannabis and hemp helped certain cannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors in our bodies.

More recently, a team of scientists investigated whether the entourage effect could increase the effectiveness of CBD as an anti-inflammatory. They then noticed that the purified cannabidiol produced a bell-shaped response curve.

In other words, the effectiveness of the single cannabidiol molecule peaked within a limited dose range. This therefore meant that administering too much CBD had similar therapeutic effects as too little.

When the dosage cap has been removed, using whole plant extracts, the results revealed that more one administered CBD, the better the effects.

Another study also highlighted the synergy that occurs when the cannabinoids THC and CBD work together. She showed that cannabidiol enhances the clinical efficacy of THC and also revealed that CBD acts as a neuroprotector of THC, opposing many of the adverse effects of THC and thereby reducing feelings of intoxication and sedation. .

Nature is well done

The existence of the entourage effect just goes to show that, as so often, nature works best when left to its own devices. Smokable hemp flower and Full Spectrum CBD oils are the easiest and most reliable ways to consume cannabidiol and allow you to experience all of its benefits.

Cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids, flavonoids... It seems like every compound is there for a reason and the sum of the plant is fine superior to its molecules used distinctly.

The cbd flower allows us to enjoy a unique and unequaled know-how, that only nature can offer us.
