First off, there there is no such thing as Cannabis Terpenes, or Medical Marijuana Terpenes. In the industry, you will often hear terms like “Cannabis Terpenes”, “Organic Terpenes” or even “Synthetic Terpenes”. We all know that cannabis contains terpenes, which are responsible for the skunky, pungent smells we all enjoy. The source of these extracts are a common area for misunderstanding, so we will offer a clear explanation.Let’s take Cannabis for example. The same profiles, such as Limonene, are found in many different plants, not just limes. When they are extracted from plants and condensed, they are very similar in appearance and function to a pure alcohol, clear in appearance, strong smelling and will evaporate when left exposed. Most substances contain many terpenes, and when the they evaporate, they blend together and create the smells we are familiar with. They are Aromatic Hydrocarbons, simply put, they are the molecules that primarily make up smell in Organic substances like plants. What exactly is a Terpene? The answer is very complex, and unless your interested in taking a class on Organic Chemistry, we will keep it very simple. With The Solution, you can exactly replicate and reintroduce the flavors you have lost due to your manufacturing processes. Many of today’s extraction and refinement processes leave you with a refined product of high potency, so refined that is has stripped out a most if not all of the Terpenes, Terpenoids, and plant resins that make up the aroma profiles we come to expect. Perfectly adjusting the viscosity of extracts without the use of foreign chemicals like Propylene Glycol has long been a mystery, but that’s just half the story.
