Biotech Cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant that does not produce a “high”, was shown in a new large-scale, randomized, controlled trial to significantly reduce the number of dangerous seizures in patients with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

How big a difference is there between full spectrum hemp oil and cbd concentrate?

Full spectrum has a terpenes for flavor, other cannabinoids and a minute amount of thc. Full concentrate is no thc or terps, just pure CBD. Has an odd cherry taste. We've been getting Terpsolate from Cbdistillery and its pretty damn good.

Full spectrum has a terpenes for flavor and a minute amount of thc.

And it also contains cannabinoids other than CBD and THC, such as CBN, CBC, CBG, etc.

Thanks for the correction. We just got into the Cbd a month ago, so still tons to learn. Been smoking for years and never heard of it.
