Broad Spectrum Extraction
Broad spectrum extraction refers to cannabis products processed to remove most or all detectable THC while retaining a wide range of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds. Unlike full-spectrum extracts that preserve the complete cannabinoid profile, broad spectrum products typically use post-processing techniques such as chromatography or selective distillation to isolate and remove THC molecules. This classification emerged to address regulatory requirements in jurisdictions where THC-free products are legally preferred, while maintaining the potential entourage effects of multiple minor cannabinoids and aromatic compounds. Breeders and processors working in this category often focus on genetics with elevated CBD, CBN, or CBG content to create more chemically interesting extracts after THC removal. The resulting products retain botanical complexity that single-cannabinoid is

Cultivators supplying broad spectrum extraction operations often select for high-cannabinoid-content genetics that deliver diverse minor cannabinoid profiles—particularly CBD-dominant or balanced THC:CBD strains. These genetics become more valuable when their terpene and flavonoid content survives the extraction and THC-removal process intact.
