Raleigh, NC might be best known for its rich history and vibrant tech scene, but the city might be able to add another accolade to the list.
Spruce CBD, founded by Tony Spencer in 2018, harnesses the power of heirloom hemp to deliver what they call ‘The Spruce Effect’ — a level of potency and efficacy that’s setting new standards in the industry.”
Spencer explains the company’s story in more detail.
The Heirloom Advantage
At the heart of Spruce CBD’s innovation is its use of a unique hemp strain with a fascinating history.
“Our CBD is made from a strain of hemp that came to the U.S. in the War of 1812,” explains Spencer. “This heirloom strain contains a unique terpene profile that makes it more effective for relief.”
But what makes this heirloom strain so special? The answer lies in its genetic diversity and adaptation over time. Dr. Ethan Russo, a renowned cannabis researcher, explains that “landrace and heirloom cannabis varieties are important sources of genetic diversity”.
This diversity can lead to unique combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes, potentially enhancing the plant’s therapeutic effects.
The Full-Spectrum Approach
Spencer says they don’t just rely on the uniqueness of their hemp strain and emphasize the importance of full-spectrum extracts.
“Our CBD is full-spectrum, which means it contains natural cannabinoids, essential oils, terpenes, and flavonoids that interact to create an ‘entourage effect,’ making the CBD more potent.”
This approach is backed by scientific research. A 2019 study published in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science found that full-spectrum CBD extracts may be more effective than CBD isolate due to the synergistic effects of multiple cannabis compounds.
Moonshine Extraction: Preserving Potency
Spruce’s commitment to potency extends to their extraction method, says Spencer.
“We use a moonshine extraction process, which helps preserve the CBD, low levels of THC, and terpenes in our hemp.”
This unique method allows Spruce to maintain the integrity of the plant’s beneficial compounds, potentially enhancing the overall effectiveness of their products.
The Power of Potency
One of the most striking aspects of Spruce CBD’s products is their high potency.
“We don’t water down our products with artificial sweeteners and flavors, which is why Spruce is more bitter than other brands. It’s also why we’re the most potent full-spectrum CBD you’ve tried.”
This focus on potency is not just a marketing gimmick. Research suggests that higher doses of CBD may be necessary for certain therapeutic effects.
A 2019 study in the Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry found that higher doses of CBD were more effective in reducing anxiety during a simulated public speaking test.
The Spruce Effect in Action
The combination of heirloom hemp, full-spectrum extracts, and high potency creates what Spruce CBD calls “The Spruce Effect.”
While individual experiences may vary, many customers report significant benefits. A review on Healthline notes that “Spruce CBD products are generally high potency, which puts them on the higher end of pricing for CBD companies.”.

Looking to the Future
Companies like Spruce are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with this versatile compound.
“We’re always innovating,” Spencer shares. “Whether it’s our limited-release flavored oils or new formulations for specific needs, we’re constantly looking for ways to make CBD more effective and accessible.”
