“Which form of cannabis is the most ‘full spectrum’?” That’s the question that sparked an online poll, which resulted in a broad range of responses, very little consensus, and even some name-calling. Why all the confusion? Well, thanks to decades of strict prohibition, cannabis terminology is far from standardized. In fact, even some of the most commonly-used terms have no agreed-upon definition.
