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.
Limonene:
A dominant terpene in strains with a pronounced Sativa effect. It is also found in the rinds of citrus fruits. Limonene has been used to treat anxiety and depression. Limonene is instantly recognizable, citrus-forward with lingering sweet and sour notes. Isolated Limonene can be naturally sourced from a variety of citrus fruits, including grapefruit, lime, lemon, and orange. |
Beta Caryophyllene:
Beta Caryophyllene is a distinctively spicy-sweet terpene with a woody, clove-like aroma. Isolated Beta Caryophyllene can be naturally sourced from black pepper, cloves, hops, basil, and oregano. Beta Caryophyllene is a particularly notable terpene having been the first terpene shown to act on the CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system. These ECS receptors have been shown to mitigate pain. |
Alpha Pinene:
Alpha Pinene is an earthy, piney, herbal terpene with a sharp pine and cedarwood flavor. Isolated Alpha Pinene is sourced from conifer trees, herbs such as rosemary and sage, and found in some varieties of citrus. Alpha Pinene is known for its uplifting and energizing effects. |
