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
Overview:Pinene is a natural compound found in plants, especially coniferous trees like pine. It’s what gives pine trees their distinct smell. 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!
Caryophyllene
Aroma: Pepper + Spices
Probable Effects: Sleepy, Analgesic + Muscle Relief
Overview:Caryophyllene is a spicy compound found in cannabis that gives it its distinct aroma and taste. It’s like adding a dash of pepper to your favorite dish! But besides making your cannabis smell and taste great, caryophyllene might also help with things like relieving stress and easing discomfort. So, not only does it make your weed smell and taste awesome, but it might also make you feel pretty good too! Explore our range of caryophyllene-rich products to experience the full flavor and potential benefits for yourself.
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.
Cannabis 101
What is the difference between Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid strains?
In general, Sativa marijuana strains are described as having uplifting effects that may inspire creativity and heighten awareness of surroundings. In contrast the effects reported from Indica marijuana strains are more calming with the addition of an increase in body relaxation. Hybrid marijuana strains are a mixture of both Sativa and Indica strains in order to get the best of both worlds. Please note that these are all generalizations, and while they can serve as a rule-of-thumb, we recommend that cannabis users explore their options in small doses in order to find the strains that work best with their individual body chemistry. Cannabis is not a one-size-fits-all plant, and therefore takes a little guided experimentation in order to find what works for you.

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.

What kind of oil and concentrates do you offer?
Here at High End Market Place, we take great pride in the oil and concentrates we offer.

Edibles 101
What kind of edibles do you offer? What is the recommend dosage to begin with?
We offer an extensive selection of edibles and cannabis infused drinks including chocolate, mints, gummies, cookies, capsules, tincture, truffles and more. If you are new to edibles, we recommend starting “low and slow” meaning, low dose and ease into it slowly. We recommend beginning with a 5-10mg dose, and adjusting from there depending on how the edibles affect you.
