What are Terpenes?
Think of cannabis terpenes as the essential oils of the plant. They’re natural compounds found in cannabis that give each strain its unique aroma and flavor. But they’re not just about smell and taste; they also play a role in how the plant affects you. Terpenes can interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, enhancing or moderating their effects.
COMMONLY FOUND TERPENES
Myrcene
Aroma: Earth, Woody + Herbacious
Probable Effects: Relaxing, Sleepy + Analgesic
Overview: Myrcene, found in cannabis, mangoes, and hops, is like the conductor of an orchestra, influencing the effects of various compounds in the body. It gives cannabis its musky smell and can make you feel relaxed or sleepy. Think of it as a helper that makes other beneficial substances in cannabis, like CBD and THC, work better. Some studies suggest it might help with pain and inflammation too. So, next time you catch a whiff of that earthy scent in your bud, thank myrcene for potentially enhancing your relaxation and well-being.
Pinene
Aroma: Pine Trees, Grass, Foresty
Probable Effects: Anti-Inflamatory + Anti-microbial

In simple terms, pinene is like the essential oil of pine trees. It has a fresh, pine-like aroma and is used in many products like air fresheners, cleaning agents, and even in some medicines. People also believe it has health benefits, like improving focus and reducing inflammation, but more research is needed to confirm these claims. Overall, pinene is a cool substance that makes the world smell like a pine forest!

How do I pick what terpenes are best for me?
Some terpenes might make you feel relaxed, while others could boost your mood or help with focus. So, when you’re enjoying cannabis, it’s not just about getting high; it’s also about experiencing the complex mix of terpenes that make each strain special. We call this the entourage effect and it plays an important part in how cannabis can affect your body.

Vape 101
Do you sell vaporizers and cartridges? Is vaporizing safer than smoking?
Yes, we have a wide range of vaporizers both for cannabis flower and for concentrates and cartridges. Research shows that vaporizing may be a healthier alternative to smoking, but more research needs to be done to know the long term effects of vaping cannabis. In 2019, the Liquor & Cannabis Board and the Washington State Dept. of Health prohibited certain flavored vapor products. Read more about the DOH ruling here.
