“to continuously learn, grow and share our experience with our communities, establishing Western Cultured as a shining symbol of excellence within the Cannabis industry by delivering the finest consciously-crafted cannabis products, operating with responsibility and dispelling antiquated notions surrounding cannabis culture”
Western Cultured accomplishes their mission, ensuring the finest quality cannabis, down to a molecular level. And yes! You guessed it! We’re talking about what Western Cultured is known for- rich terpene profiles and the entourage effect!
Remind me- what are terpenes?
Aromatic/flavorful organic compounds produced by the cannabis plant (and many other plants in nature). Over 100 different types of terpenes have been identified in cannabis, with each specific cannabis strain having a unique composition. A strain’s specific terpene composition is thought to steer the direction of an individual’s high. For example, a strain high in both limonene and myrcene would likely contribute to feelings of intense euphoria!
Western Cultured ensures robust terpene profiles in their end product by committing to the perfect cure (drying their cannabis upon harvest). How cannabis is cured, can be key in retaining a strain’s true, naturally occurring terpene profile. Improperly cured or overly dried cannabis can result in a large majority of terpenes evaporating away.
Western Cultured makes selecting a strain based on terpenes easy! Each Western Cultured product clearly lays out the terpene composition for each individual strain. They categorize their strain library into one of four categorical flavor profiles based on a strain’s terpene composition:
SWEET, SOUR, SPICY, EARTHY
Western Cultured empowers their customers by educating them through their thoughtfully crafted product lines and intentional, informative packaging. They’ve taken sharing information and education a step further by producing…
The Western Cultured Terp Wheel
So… what’s a “terp wheel”?
Western Cultured’s terp wheel identifies a variety of terpenes found in cannabis. The wheel lists “effects” associated with each terpene from a list of seven of the most common physiological responses reported by their consumers. The seven possible effects are energy, sleepy, stress relief, calm (relaxing), focus (creative), refreshing (uplifted) & euphoria (happy).

This information is added to their glass jars as an educational/reference tool for their customers to learn more about their products and how cannabis interacts with them individually.
We all know now that the way in which cannabis affects you is not just about THC percentage, as was once a widely held belief across the cannabis industry and community. Western Cultured knows this and proactively works toward challenging these exact types of misconceptions. Knowledge is power, and by providing their customers with this type of additional information, folks are able to make informed decisions and really target their specific needs and desires.
