Do terpenes and 'profiles' really mean fucking anything?

[Ismene2]

Ahhhh, that was you.

That's a lie, dude. If you actually believe your cannabis hasn't had any terpenes then you've been led astray. It might not necessarily be a lie depending on what falsehoods you choose to call true, but it's blatantly wrong. It spits in the face biology. That's a 10th grade subject. You're spittin' on it, man.

Go back and read the thread again pal. Yeah cannabis has terpenes in it - thats why it smells. Orange peel has got terpenes in it too - thats why it smells of orange.

The point is it DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH TERPENES IN IT TO HAVE ANY PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECT. Go eat an orange peel and the tell me what psychoactive effect you got from the terpenes in it. Hint, there wont be any. Can you figure out why? According to you if you can smell it that means it will be psychoactive. You can smell your own farts too - do you get a psychoactive effect from those as well?

You've obviously never taken a dose of terpenes big enough to have any effect on you. All I can say is buy some myrcene, take a big dose and then take cannabis. Until you do that you will NEVER EVER KNOW what effect terpenes have. You feel me?

Terpenes are used to help with tourettes - they have very definate powerful effects all by themselves. The synergy they have with mushrooms and LSD is also incredible.

if you do a $ cure it will help and then freeze it. It’s not just the terpenes but also chemical changes to the thc.. some of which may not be that negative for results..

So does my weed lose terpenes when I let it dry out way too much over 6 months time?

You'd be better off doing cob curing for 6 months as you'd probably get better results and no terpene loss. The modern equivalent of cob curing is vacuum seal ~80% dry bud for 1+ month. Curing like wine it gets better.

At least dry it for 2 weeks then cure it in a jar for 5.5 months say.

As you can probably tell I'm not overly vested in proving xyz so don't consider it necessary to try and convince others.

You made a generalized claim about an enormous category of compounds, with nothing to support it. Many of these compounds are abundant in herbs and spices, which are not psychoactive or negligibly psychoactive. Probably even more of them are unknown to all of us.

You're not overly vested in proving it because you can't. However, you seem interested in making very strong, fantastical and attention-grabbing claims. It's quite the act of self-flattery to frame your lack of intellectual integrity as a disinterest in convincing others rather than a distinterest in the validity of your claims.

Go on, call me AI again because you're not making sense.

DMT is in lots of plants that have no psychoactive effect

Back in 1999-2000 I used to sell weed and dealer told me to put orange peels in it and I did. I recently decarbed thc and cbd cannabis, would adding orange peels do anything, like add terpenes, other than make it smell, and maybe taste different ?

cbd is good for seizures as we all know from the 2008 documentary of the new jersey couple who had to moved to arizona bc cbd was illegal in nj , at the time, bc their child had twenty three seizures a day and cbd reduced them to like three

Ive seen a terpene bottle sold yesterday as I checking out some deals on cannabis. What do you have an interest in terpenes, is it something you know helps you? Have you taken terpenes with lsd or mushrooms? What do terpenes do with mushrooms or lsd that synergize so well with them?

I have been through at least thirty different strains since 2019. I have experimented a lot with both cbd and thc, I personally find high indica strains as in 80/20 or higher, esp 90/10 to definitely from my experience to be better for sleep before bed, but I stay open minded bc the highest indica I could get in the past year has been ice cream cake 70/30, and even red runts 50/50 and have smoked that before sleep with good success

I used to smoke highest sativas I could find, super silver haze 80/20 after I got off work as a pre workout. Now a days I dont like smoking much before resistance exercise bc and maybe im incorrect but it seems I dont want to talk and be social, and before i train and I consider a person , couple or group of people as friends, than I enjoy talking to them plus Ive cut back as Ive smoked one bowl (a cbd, thc blend) in the last seven days so ive cut back dramatically on cannabis

Before cardio, esp on an off day where I can get up, smoke, walk with dogs, when its pleasant weather, or at least acceptable weather, dogs I nuture, caretake, usually before once a week is favorite time to smoke

@moonyham , currently most strains are hybrids, I found master kush , the highest indica percentage Ive found in a few years, and the highest sativa ive found in a few years,super lemon haze and I bought an ounce of each

The old cannabis connoisseur came out in me, even though I thought it was gone . Terpenes (like myrcene or limonene) and cannabinoid profiles (THC/CBD) have a bigger impact on effects than the indica/sativa label alone. Years of cross-breeding make strict distinctions difficult; look at the strain's specific effects (often listed on dispensary websites) rather than just "Indica" or "Sativa". That said I do feel the high indicas, and high sativa percent's do matter in the effects ..afghan kush is another indica that definitely had those high indica effects and its profile matched what was felt one hundred percent

Like I said, I prefer mixing cbd with thc now a days, esp if I have to be around people. That said it could be worth experimenting with a high sativa to see if the effects match the profile

I am excited to try these two new strains

I will not smoke before or during work period. I smoked some green crack and had a bad experience, super negative. I had another bad experience in 2020 from some street weed I bought I suspect was sativa but idk, there is a bit of wariness of sativas, as they could effect me different as the silver haze maybe wasnt as good as the 50/50 hyrbids but idk as someone who was big into cannabis I really dont want to go into a rabbit hole of learning bc Ive learned about as much as I want about cannabis and know certain hybrids work fine. I recently bought the high sativa and indica bc curious how much different they may be

The thousands of other times it hasnt been bad, and sometimes been amazing , like recently, maybe was in a negative mindset when I did them, and am open to sativas effecting me different than indicas

Have gotten into decarbed cbd and thc cannabis and taking them separate, and esp the thc decarbed , is super potent as in too potent , well i mixed them maybe a gram of each on Christmas head was spinning, woke up Christmas Day and it took a few hours to really get up , all I wanted to do was lay in recliner and it do much

Orange peel contains the essential oils. It'll be more efficient to squeeze the peel onto the bud. Orange oil is 95%+ limonene which has psychoactive uplifting effects. I used to use a toothpick (or small stalk works) to put a small drop of essential oil onto the bud or a rizzla (smoking paper).

Instead of using orange peel it's simpler to buy pure stream-distilled essential oils so you can mix and match terpenes based on what effects you want. Lemon oil is more euphoric than orange oil as the lemon terpene profile contains different terpenes (particularly pinene and gamma-terpinene). Lemon is about 70% limonene compared to 95% for orange. You've got hundreds of essential oils to choose from.

If you ever get the chance, try CBG. Either add CBG isolate or CBG-dominant bud to your THC/CBD mix. I know there's dozens of cannabinoids but THC, CBD and CBG are a good team. THCV is worth mentioning as it's s a signature of some Sativas.

All terpenes are psychoactive in some way, some stimulating, sedating and a few even psychedelic. If you read my earlier posts in this thread you'll get the full picture that should answer your questions. I'd add that buying stream-distilled essential oils is way more cost-effective than buying terpene bottles which has become a $$$ market.

I saw taking the lemon drops oil are preferred,

Would putting lemon drops from stream distilled essential oil on cannabis flower , for a desired effect, work the same as putting orange peel juice on them, for smoking ?

If so, is it best to take the time , for the liquid,on the bud to dry?

 

[notsmokeymcpot42088]

I didnt read the whole thread -- hell I could be echoing myself -- but I agree with the OP.

Terpenes seem like the last refuge of blackmarket dealers around here "THC sure, but the terpenes on this!" idk bro. Not that the dispos don't run the same angle.

Don't think THC% is your end all be all answer either --- that is like the tip of the best cola they grew pf I understand right --- the popcorn buds (Sometimes) in your 8 month (Sometimes) old pot that a lab was paid to say has 9% more than it did to begin with will have far less thc % than sticker labeled!


THCV kind of interests me but that is mostly a different story?

 

[Allylbenzene]

Yes I think so. Putting a drop of steam-distilled essential oil onto canna flower is equivalent to taking orange peel and squeezing the terpene oils on the flower. You can use peel from lemon, lime, mandarin, tangerine etc.

If so, is it best to take the time , for the liquid,on the bud to dry?

If you put big drops then yes...inhaling vaporised citrus oils can cause coughing. The drops that come from essential oil bottles are pretty big so try to use smaller ones. You can half tip the essential oil bottle so only a small amount of oil appears, then put it on your finger then onto the flower. Don't put that finger in your eye...

I started with lemon oil then tried eucalyptus terpenes and many more. Lemon + eucalyptus terpenes is almost a lemon haze type effect. Eucalyptus oil contain cineole (aka eucalyptol) which has a signature haze taste imo and a Sativa-type high.

I don't *think* it does anything to the high, I knew a dealer who did that. It was actually for two reasons. One, it kinda made the weed taste and smell better(subjective, but I agreed) and two(and this is the actual reason he did it), it added some moisture back to the weed that came to them a bit too dry. He got more 'product' because it added a small amount of weight - maybe a gram or so to an ounce if I was guessing based on how much a dry vs fresh orange peel feels in the hand - and the weed tasted and smelt, and more importantly smoked better for customers. I tried his non-orange peel stuff and the dryness made it smoke harsh.

I put half a lemon in my jug of water jug everyday pre work, and sipping it does seem to enhance energy
( Along with keeping hydrated)

I found super lemon haze thca and it is so fresh, good and is definitely a sativa effect. I cut back but since I bought this and it's fresh I want to take advantage , and been using it pre cardio , been working so well

Amazing knowledge you have on these terpenes

These little things are huge to me ,in my life, currently, and make a massive difference

 

[MedicinalUser247]

When it comes to the Smell of Pot I prefer Piney Smelling Weed over the Skunky stuff. The reason you see Skunk being sold on the Streets so often is because Skunk Weed usually has a larger yield of Bud that comes off the Plant. If you want a really Trippy high, like I prefer, it's best to go with the Piney smelling stuff even though it's more expensive.

Just discovered Ocimene - this could be the one terpene that rules them all!! Sativa all the way up your ass.

What do you mean,Sativa all the way up your ass?

Ocimene is unoridarany healthy, with its anti inflammatory effects, and green crack, jack herer are both heavier sativas

 

[Ismene2]

It means it converts D9 into a strong sativa.
