Sweet Strains Terpenes

Terpenes are responsible for many health benefits on their own. However, they also work with other organic compounds to promote effects like relaxation, sleepiness, or focus. Take the Banana OG strain, for example. It contains a variety of natural compounds, most notably compounds responsible for “feeling high” but it’s also known for its banana aroma and flavor. These attributes are most commonly associated with the terpene Myrcene. 

Most extraction methods dissolve terpenes and separate them away from the final product often destroying them in the process. Removing terpenes reduces the quality of the product which will now lack in flavor and effects. Stripping terpenes away from a concentrate results in reduced effects, flavor and aroma. This is especially true for strain-specific products, like cartridges and live extracts. Without the terpenes, you lack effects – if your products lack the effects they’re supposed to promote, your customers won’t buy them.
