๐๐ Useful info for patients๐
Seen a really interesting post by David Loos on terpenes and how they actually work ๐๐จ
Thought Iโd break it down into simple terms for anyone trying to understand what it means as a patientโฆ
๐ Terpenes are what give your medication its smell, taste, and a big part of how it feels.
๐ There are two main types:
โข Monoterpenes โ lighter, more โfreshโ smells (citrus, pine). These hit quicker but fade quicker.
โข Sesquiterpenes โ heavier, deeper smells (earthy, spicy). These come through slower but last longer.
๐ What this means when you medicate:
โข Lower temps = more flavour + quicker onset
โข Higher temps = deeper effects + longer lasting
๐ Storage is key:
Those lighter terpenes disappear fast if your meds arenโt stored properly. Heat, air, and poor packaging = less flavour and reduced overall effect.
๐ Simple takeaway:
Itโs not just what youโve gotโฆ itโs how you store it and how you use it that shapes your experience.
This is exactly why weโve teamed up with Grove Bags ๐
Weโve got some limited edition 7g GRAMS TerpLoc bags to show you the levels when it comes to terpene retention and proper storage.
