There has been growing interest in studying the more than 400 unique substances found in Cannabis extracts, including not only cannabinoids but terpenes, which have been found to have therapeutic benefits, including antiviral and anticancer activity, and are devoid of psychoactive properties like the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana. [Cannabis as antivirals. Yi Lin Sea 1, et al. J. Appl. Microbiol. 2023 Jan 23;134(1)] As Cannabidiol is the most prominent non-psychoactive cannabinoid, it has been promoted by some who are following the usual mindset that it is best to purify a single, and hopefully the most potent, substance from a given plant extract. Is a wide-spectrum hemp extract preferable to purified cannabidiol both as an antiviral as well as anticancer agent?

Cannabis has been highly controversial for a long time, due to its abuse potential, and medical marijuana continues to be attacked and discredited as lacking medical benefits. Having sought and asked about many plant extracts as having useful anticancer and especially antiviral activity, knowing now that viruses cause the majority of cancers, it was surprising to see that wide-spectrum hemp extracts containing cannabinoids have so far come out on top when we have asked you to rank various nutraceuticals. Have we missed something greatly superior?
