Way to completely misunderstand and try in an underhanded way to the dismiss entourage effect.

It’s not smoking 10 strains in a row it’s the fact that you need CBD THC and all the terpenes to get the effects. So the current growing trend of just getting the THC number higher tends to result in plants that don’t actually give people the full spectrum of effects, beneficial or not.

So the correct way to do this would be a full spectrum isolate, which again you coincidently forgot to mention I’m sure.

I never said it was. I was saying you could run 10 different studies on 10 different strains with 10 different "entourage effect" profiles and even if all of them were negative, they would be dismissed as not having precisely the right entourage effect.

If there are anti-depressant compounds in cannabis plants then they can be extracted and isolated, too.

Of course, the correct formulation is something other than what was tested, right? And if they tested a full spectrum isolate with negative results, we should assume that it just wasn't the right blend of terpenes and therefore that study should be dismissed too? Repeat ad nauseum?
