I think raw extraction is best for ̶m̶e̶d̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ PATENTING purposes. Isolate/distillate may have specific uses. The raw oil which isn't going to be higher than 70% probably but still retains all the other cannabinoids and terpenes which have great medical benefits TO PATENT AND KEEP FROM US, ISOLATED INTO "SATIVEX" PILLS FROM BAYER.
FTFY
agree 100%
that entourage effect
once you distill you have cooked off the terps and probably altered the cannabiniods in some way from the heat (thc is all decarbed)
I agree that you are losing the main benefit - the entourage effect.
