The reason for our own patented process and the use of fresh flower tops is that we want to preserve as much of the natural components (cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids) from the flower tops as possible. Scientists have introduced the entourage effect. This means that in addition to the fact that the components have their own effect, there is also a synergy: the components can influence each other’s effect. For that reason, a full spectrum CBD oil is often preferred. The term entourage effect originally refers to the synergistic action of cannabinoids among themselves. However, it is also applied to the synergistic action between cannabinoids and the other components of the plant (terpenes and flavonoids). Dutch Cannabis Processing works with fresh plant material to retain as much of the natural components from the flower tops as possible.
