You sound defensive. I am only stating fact as I see it.
We agree to disagree.
We agree to disagree.
I agree entirely, its done in many top quality companies either through fractional distillation or natural sources (i .e. Orange peel extract) these are natural terpenes found in cannabis and certain fruits) they are of proven therapeutic and medicinal value.Depending on the process it will still be more potent than most concentrates.
There is a good reason that this can potentially be a good idea.
Say your average shatter or wax is 15% lipids, waxes, etc. If you remove those then your left with an absolute which will be 15% stronger. Problem is in making the absolute you've likely just stripped away most/all your terpenes. If you then reintroduce terpenes at a 5% solution now you've got an oil which is going to be 10% stronger than you're average shatter/wax but still have a rich terpene profile.
That isn't deluding it or stepping on it IMO. In theory it could be a superior concentrate.
Ignore my post. I was actually completely wrong. Sorry about that.I agree entirely, its done in many top quality companies either through fractional distillation or natural sources (i .e.

Do you have any tips for good sources of Pinene?It all depends on what terpene's are in the oils. I personaly make oils with added pinene in them, it makes the flavor and smell almost like a weed field in a pine forest and the pinene has been proven to help fight the same cancer's that many canabinoids do.
I have also made Oils with added limonene in them as well, but this was for a specific patient who had a lung infection and needed anti-microbial med's....
200 Different terpenes NATURALLY occur in marijuana plants.... this article has nothing to do with "added" turpene's, it talk's about how terpene profiles show that some companies (AKA Greenhouse seeds...) Are a rip off and just re-naming other peoples strains....
read the whole article.... its fairly simple.
The difference in the terpenes and sources thereof.I do not make these products. I just see how potentially it would be a good idea.
If you look at it from the point of view of developing a superior product then it seems like stronger and better tasting wins.
The same things you're saying about these concentrates are the same things a lot of people say about ALL concentrates. It's just being stuck in the past IMO.
So the terpenes were extracted from a different source. What's the difference?
