Unless I'm misunderstanding they tested both isolated cannabinoids and whole-bud. In some cases whole-bud was better.

- jonnathanson 12y agoThe study's abstract [1] states that they tested CBD and THC in two forms: as "pure" forms, and as derivatives ("biological drug substance"). "Pure" is open to interpretation, and I had assumed it to mean the raw, unadulterated compounds themselves. You may be right, though. "Pure" could mean raw plant matter. But if that were the case, it wouldn't be a test of the two cannabinoids themselves; it would be a test of every chemical in the raw plant matter, including terpenes and other cannabinoids. (Cannabis contains over 85 cannabinoids, and those are only the ones we currently know of).
