The Terpene Universe With Abstrax: Refining Your Cannabis Palette

Terpenes sold separately? For those of us who are not cultivators of the green goddess cannabis, you may never have heard of such a thing. But apparently, and this was news to me, you can not only harness the power of terpenes the same way one would harness spices in a recipe.

All these custom strains, flavors, and smells…I can’t believe I didn’t put two and two together. It took stumbling upon Abstrax’s mind-blowing article series, The Science of Exotic, for me to get schooled. Apparently there’s a psychedelic flavorant involved?

Let’s break it down: terpenes are basically the soul of your cannabis. They are aromatic compounds that team up with cannabinoids to enrich the sensory experience, offering everything from soothing relaxation to a burst of creativity.

They’re like the salt in a dish, enhancing any recipe whether it’s sweet or savory. In other words, they’re utterly essential. And just for the record, Abstrax isn’t just a credible source for information. They are advocates for the cause and create beautifully crafted terpenes that are used across the country. They understand that one does not simply add flavors and fragrances. This is a dedicated art form. So, let’s get into these sensory bouquets.

Terpenes are the ambiance in cannabis, offering more than just signature scents like citrusy Limonene or earthy Myrcene. These naturally occurring chemical compounds jam with cannabinoids to enhance effects through something canna-nerds call the entourage effect.

Abstrax’s cutting-edge research also highlights flavorants like Indole, a non-terpene that shares a structure with psychedelics, adding a whole new dimension to cannabis flavors. According to Abstrax’s research, “… it is most likely a key constituent in the quintessential aroma produced by many cannabis varieties.” Basically, that funky stank on the dank is correlated to the presence of Indole.

Abstrax is creating terpene recipes with innovative intention. Take the GMO (Native) profile. With a blend of funky skatole and mysterious indole, it’s all about pushing the envelope for a nose-dive into deeper, bolder territories. Abstrax’s geek-out on terp science helps brands craft buds that are not just smoked, but savored.

While THC scores all the fame for getting you high, terpenes steer the experience. They’re the paprika, the cinnamon, the cayenne that takes your cannabis experience and makes it distinctive and unique. Abstrax’s deep dive into terpenes lays down the playbook for leveraging these aromatic agents to amp up the therapeutic and recreational playbook of cannabis.

“If terpenes aren’t the sole contributors to the aroma of cannabis, what else might be responsible?”

Abstrax’s research into Terpinolene’s unique position in the terpene lineup poses fascinating questions about its potential influence beyond flavor, as detailed in their The Science of Exotic Research Pt 1.
