What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that are produced by plants and found in their essential oils, including cannabis’s essential oil. Terpene profiles are non-psychoactive and give each strain (or variety) of cannabis its unique aroma and flavor, and function to modulate each strains unique pharmacological effect.
Why should I care about the Terpene Profile in my Cannabis Extract?
Cannabis Essential Oils (a.k.a. “Concentrate,” “Extract,” “Dabs,” “Shatter,” “Rosin, “Wax,” “Butter,” “BHO”) are comprised of 3 main constituents: Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Flavonoids.
The latest cannabis research indicates that the presence of terpenes play a critical role in the effectiveness of Cannabis Essential Oil, by directly modulating Cannabinoid Receptor Activation. In other words, the specific terpene profile present in a strain of cannabis determines that strains effect (or pharmacological value), by having a compounding effect on which cannabinoid receptors are activated and to what degree.
The correlation between cannabinoids and terpenes is commonly known as the “entourage effect,” and ultimately distinguishes one strain of cannabis from another.
Why do I need to Add Terpenes to my extract?
Terpenes are highly volatile, meaning it’s very easy to lose this critical constituent of cannabis essential oil during the extraction process. Standard industrial extraction techniques often call for the use of a toxic solvent to separate and extract cannabis essential oil from the plant material.
After this extraction process is complete you are left with a beautiful and highly concentrated essential oil rich in cannabinoids and terpenes, but which also retains some of the toxic solvent used in the extraction process. This residual solvent MUST be removed before the essential oil is safe for consumption. Unfortunately while removing residual solvents terpenes are also lost or removed entirely, resulting in a cannabinoid rich extract safe for consumption but vacant of terpenes, which makes for very ineffective and bland oil!
By re-introducing strain specific terpene profiles from Dope Dabs to your cannabinoid rich extract you create a full spectrum extract tailored in such a way that it gives you control over the finished oils flavor, aroma, and effect!
