TERPENE INFORMATION
Terpenes are a diverse class of organic compounds produced by most plants, cannabis being our favorite. Terpenes are what give herbs, flowers and fruit their own unique scent and flavor. There are thousands of terpenes in nature, none of which are unique to only one specific plant. An example of this is Alpha Pinene, some natural sources include cannabis(usually sativa), pine trees, other coniferous trees, rosemary, and sage. The structure of terpenes are the same no matter what plant they come from. The myth that the source of the terpene is important, is just that, a myth. When terpenes are isolated from any plant, there is virtually no difference between them.
