Terpenes 101- Caryophyllene

Introducing part three of our Terpenes 101 Series, featuring Caryophyllene …Caryophyllene is a very special terpene, one that we are very excited to detail further with you all! If you appreciate cannabis with a great terpene profile then you may well have heard of beta-Caryophyllene. It is also known as ‘b caryophyllene’, β-caryophyllene or simply caryophyllene. Ever wondered what the difference is between beta caryophyllene and caryophyllene? There is no difference, they are just different names for the same terpene.

Caryophyllene (pronounced “carry-off-fi-leen’”) is found in many different herbs and spices. You can find it in black pepper, oregano, cinnamon and cloves. It’s known for its warm, spicy, sometimes sweet funky aromatics. Many strains giving off pungent stenches of fuel are the result of an abundance of caryophyllene. If you like the “gassy” strains, you likely enjoy the presence of caryophyllene!

Introduction to Dabbing

Learn-in detail- how to consume concentrated cannabis extracts!

What is a dab?

A dab is a concentrated cannabis extract. The term dab is often used interchangeably with concentrate, extract, wax, oil, etc. Cannabis concentrates are extracts that contain extra-high amounts of cannabinoids, terpenes and other cannabis compounds. Thanks to their impressive cannabinoid content, concentrates are several times more potent than cannabis flower, and a favorite among those who prefer super-strong cannabis products or a more intensely flavorful experience sans the plant matter.

How do I consume a dab?

Dabbing is heating a cannabis extract/concentrate to the point where the organic compounds within the extract will activate and vaporize … not burn or combust like flower. Activation means the molecules have been decarboxylated.

Terpenes 101- Limonene

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in all plants. Some terpenes are thought to play a protective role in the plant. Many believe they evolved to act as a natural deterrent to pests. Terpenes are very commonly associated with the cannabis plant, specifically, due to its tendency to produce naturally occurring high concentrations of these compounds. A plant’s specific terpene profile will dictate its general fragrance and flavor. These compounds typically exist as oils at room temperature and are contained within the resin glands found on the cannabis plant (aka trichome heads, that sparkly sticky icky good good).

Limonene is the second most abundant terpene found in cannabis, so if you smoke plenty of weed, you’re likely familiar! Lemons, oranges and other citrus fruits contain large amounts of this specific terpene. Limonene is also found in many other plants like mint, juniper, rosemary and pine needles.
