Welcome to cannabis school. I'm your host Jessie Angeles and
I'm Brandon Elder and we're here to talk to you about everything
pertaining to cannabis from debate flowering Edibles strains
and everything in between. Alright.
Hey everybody. Welcome back to another one on
one. We try to be able to find the
best topics to be able to explain to you on the very basic
level just entry getting into it.
I know they're going to be some that listen to this episode and
they're going to be like, to be like this and to all those
people I say I'm proud of you for being so educated.
But it's okay to go basic because that's where it starts,
right? So this is what we're discussing
an episode. That's actually been brought up
in many of the other podcast we've been on.
And they asked do you talk about these things?
Which sounds like it's something that needs to be introducing
from our episodes? You've probably been hearing a
lot of it. Would you say brother at least a
little bit? Yeah.
We don't go major into depth on it but we have touched on it.
Slightly here and there. Yeah, exactly.
And we want it to be something. Now where you've graduated to a
certain point. You've been attending school,
you've been taking notes, you've been smoking herb, you gotten a
yeah you got an 8. We need to be introduced another
one. So Brandon what's the topic
we're going to be able to go over today a little bit more
in-depth today's episode of that actually going to be on
terpenes. So terpenes are drippings, you
know, I'm just going to give a a very broad stroke of it and then
and I really want you to go into depth on on some of the
attributes that maybe people don't really fully expect.
I would say appreciate until they start to learn what's in
the Cannabis that they're consuming terpenes are naturally
occurring. Chemical compounds found in
plants and some animals are responsible for a Roma's flavors
and even colors associated with various types of vegetation.
Sounds about right? Yeah, their primary components
of like essential oils. They're responsible for the
Roma's and flavors of cannabis and it influences the effects by
interacting with cannabinoids. So THC doesn't affect me and
it's actually this stuff both combination of it.
And that's we've mentioned the Entourage effect before, right?
The Ensemble effect, and that is the same thing.
But basically, introducing more terpenes more Canada, It, you're
going to have more of the Entourage effect.
So that's really all terpenes do is assist with that as well.
So let's so, from my understanding is that these
together enhance, which is called the Entourage effect,
right. So it gives you that because
even just THC, solid. Just like, is there a way to
just get, I only want th see. I don't want any of the
terpenes. You can't have one without the
other Canyon they have. I mean, government's created
isolat forms that they sell THC and CBD that they use, but yet,
Get this medicine has no benefit terpenes are, if you had just
one isolate, like whether it's CBD THC, th C 0, C BN, C BG like
any cannabinoid, specifically, you might get certain benefits
from that isolated compound, but really you're missing out on so
much by not having a combination.
We're slew of many different terpenes and cannabinoids
running through your endocannabinoid system right in
attaching to the CB1 CB2 receptors throughout the body
and the brain and in thinking about that too.
So in the most basic terms from what I understand is that the
terpenes makes it, the THC is having a well-balanced diet
within your plant medicine that you're using.
If that would be correct. Yeah I'm not just the THC but
also entering in more cannabinoids but yeah, right the
terpenes with that but unless you're using isolated compounds
whether you're dabbing. Um, distillates or flower.
You're always going to have terpenes in there.
Yeah, he can't get away from it, but understanding it because,
you know, there's some people going, I can't have pinene, but
then there are certain strains, that will have pining in it and
the go to. And I've already kind of jumped
the gun on that one. So let's do this print, take us
through. Let's talk about the, the first
terpene on your list. There's 11, most prevalent ones
in cannabis today we'll review Use cover up to five.
We'll see if we get there. Yeah, so mirror seen as I'm sure
we've mentioned in several episodes, the most prevalent,
terpene found in many strains so this is one of the two most
prominent terpenes in cannabis. It's also in lemongrass time and
mango so it carries like that signature earthy Aroma found in
a lot of cannabis plants. So a mirror seeing would be more
of like a sweetie sweeter flavor type of cannabis, some of the
ones that we You'd some of the ones we have yet to release that
are really tasty, would mirror seem be that type of terpene
that would enhance that flavor profile.
Yeah, it's a fantastic combination.
I have isolated terpenes and we've actually used mirror seen
on specific goals just to craft the experience, a little a
little bit more tense. Yeah, yeah, really intense.
Okay, that's really cool. So what you said is it murder
scene is found pretty common throughout most trains, would
you be was that Fair assumption, probably to some extent but like
it's just the most prevalent one or one of the two most prevalent
found in strains but it is not necessarily in every strain.
Okay. But it is, is a very common one
to you does geographical area of where it's grown effect that not
that I really know of. I haven't read anything that
mentions necessarily like terpene specific to areas but
that could also depend on this tray.
And that's just my high is asking really detailed
questions. You know, okay the send me on a
rabbit hole Chase later and I'll do some Googling and research
and we'll see what we find. So with me Racine being one of
the prevalent terpenes that are that you will find in cannabis
are there it does this affect how I feel yeah this one is
actually commonly known to be like an anti-inflammatory helps
with like a pain medication and antioxidant just according to
like published study in the international Journal of immuno.
In permit College of Pharmacology.
Can cool. So it is a great terpene that
does assist with a lot of things.
If you do have isolated, cannabis terpenes, I would
recommend. Well, let's be real.
If you have them, you've probably already gotten them to
it. And from what I understand and
for conferences, we've gone together and kind of learning
throughout the community. Can you add terpenes to like a
distillate or things like that? Do they enhance cannabis
products like that, or can it be add to the actual?
Grow that is being produced. So most of the time if you get
like and distillate it is usually made with terpenes that
are put back into it because they extract with distillates.
Most the time they extract all of the flavonoids, the terpenes
and any other compound and then they put back in terpenes
cannabinoids to, you know, create what they're looking for,
right? So you get a lot of a crafted
With that. And so live.
Rosin is going to be one of the better experiences.
You don't need the added terpene to your grow, so it's naturally
found within yeah, the therefore naturally.
And so it's really just certain terpenes can be expressed more
depending on what nutrients you're feeding your plant.
How okay, you know, what about, like cross trains, they're
trying to create some type of new strain.
Can that affect the to terpenes. Oh, for sure because You're
introducing terpenes and cannabinoids from another
genetic. Mmm.
That's pretty cool. That's cool.
I mean, I know we're just into the first one but it's nice to
know exactly how that works and what its purpose is for, but the
cool thing is learning about that.
It's not just in cannabis it's in so many different things
around us that we actually consume on a day-to-day basis
possibly. But even with that, it's just
nice to know that these things are Naturally occurring in their
these aren't chemicals, put in there.
This is something that is within the plant and that it changes
based upon the strain. So, with that, what's the,
what's the second one on your list?
The second one's actually beta carefully.
Made it carefully, that sounds like, it's in my Centrum Silver,
it might be, you know, right? So, beta carefully.
What is that responsible for? Yeah, it's a found and hops
cloves Rosemary, and it actually carries like herbal Aroma has
just commonly found on Hose and stuff.
So it's something that gives it more of the scent.
Yeah. It's a very I mean it does help
with anti-inflammatory and pain, relieving properties, as well as
supposedly wound. Healing abilities, at least in
animal testing that they won't seem.
So if you chew it up and spit it into the wound, I don't know.
None of these like somebody or maybe things will Vereen style
stuff, but you have imagined spit like Popeye opening.
The thing is spinach and chugging that and then all of a
sudden, you know, Your skin starts healing like oh shit.
It's cannabis been shot that video evelyne quickly give me
the big castling. Okay, I'm going to chew it up
yes. Get it into their to get a deep
into the wound. So lots of The Spits for you.
Not so very carefully and it is responsible for more the Aromas.
Yeah, it's Aromas as well. And flavor, I mean, does that
add to the flavor profiles? Well, I would imagine.
Yeah, you'll definitely taste it as well.
The difference in each. Terpene.
If you use like an isolated terpene you can definitely smell
each one. Well, drastically different.
Actually, you know, beta carefully smell that smells like
cloves or likes hint of cinnamon is what I get in there.
Yeah. If you've ever had like an
essential oil that like a Christmas oil, this smells like
Christmas oil. That's just a nice antenna made
a careful. That's pretty cool.
Yeah. Okay, so that gives me a better
idea. What's the, what's the first one
that we did? We are seeing right now.
Actually, on the open mirror signal, the hostel should have
done this from the beginning. Yeah, this is awesome.
But I mean even for those are listening to this just openness.
So the mirror seeing just smells like nursing to me because I've
used that on so many different bowls and and smelt it so many
times. Wow, that it does gotta like a
lemongrass smell. If you were mistaken, you would
think this is chemical laughter straight chemicals.
But yeah, I mean it's strong. It's definitely almost like a
garlic type of scent. I would I'd say close to garlic,
which is odd, that, that smell would be Associated.
But by being able to those sweeter notes that you'll have
within say, like, a key lime pie, right?
That would probably be associated with that.
Pretty cool. Just smell and try the different
isolated terpenes, so then they carefully.
And then we'll be next one. That you would say.
So Alpha, pining is actually one of the most commonly expressed
her pains in all of nature. So, most famously, it's and Pine
trees conifers. I do you know what a conifer is
the conifer tree. Yeah, I'm never heard of that.
I think they look very similar to a pine tree but I don't know.
So don't quote me on that but it's also responsible for like
pioneer Aroma of a lot of cannabis plants.
So okay, so common common smell when you smell cannabis.
You're probably smell a lot of that one.
It's in. It's in quite a few strains.
And remember when we talked to someone for Moxie they had even
done. So So much testing on themselves
to know that the alpha-pinene acidic base not the alpha-pinene
activated. They were prone to anxiety.
Right. Alpha-pinene a so to have that
much knowledge into their own testing of how, you know,
strains and each terpene interacts with them is
fantastic. So yeah, that definitely is able
to help understand the the strains that you're Assuming I
think of these and, and we may have to do a part two, I don't
know, but even with it, just just pay attention to these and
start seeing, like, pay attention to the, the terpene
profiles. Even if it were talking about a
strain, some of our older episodes, where we didn't go
into the terpene profiles, go back to a kind of research at a
little bit going you know Brandon said it made me feel
really relaxed but I was actually jittery as shit half
and I couldn't do anything just like, okay, cool.
Well being able to understand those.
Those and and again I'm taking one step back CBD is the great
diffuser. So always make sure that you got
that and I would really highly highly, recommend a full
spectrum high-dose teacher, that's going to be the best way
to be able to counteract that within a short amount of time.
My wife currently was she try to straighten it?
Just made her. It was that Delta 80.
Yeah, that mess Mater jittery as shit.
And so, she's just like, and she took the that high We got from
cure leaf and boom, 20 minutes. She was she was so, anyways, I
have a friend from Utah who he has really bad asthma, and
oftentimes, he's not able to like smoke or anything with
flour. He's strictly Edibles
alpha-pinene helps in cultured set, human cells, they've seen
that display anti-inflammatory properties and it may help
prevent ulcers. Sirs and and improve air flow to
the lungs. That's pretty cool being that
bronchial dilator. Yeah, alpha-pinene doing that
and I mean, we talked about that we've talked with so many other
people there, just like I can't have alpha-pinene but is that
absolutely true. I guess it might depend on each
strain, it might depend on the percentage of it.
It might just be the experience. They're setting endocannabinoid
system. Yeah.
So it also could be down to acidic or non-acidic forms and
Looking at that. So I don't know.
It would be, it's always good to keep a stranger not to write
down. A, this strain made me feel this
way, especially if they're ones you really don't like.
Or when you really do, and then you can look at it and go, hey,
I'm seeing a pattern. Yeah, I see a pattern that
mirror scene and limonene are my most prevalent strained like
terpenes and strains that mesh well with me.
I'm noticing. In that actually alpha-pinene is
not going well. So I'm going to stick to ones
that don't have it or if it does it's lower on the list of
terpenes. So having that understanding of
even your, you know, experience and breakdown of which ones
don't react well and give you a much better understanding of how
your endocannabinoid system is working.
Hmm. So lemony me, did you mention
that one? It's a great segue into the next
repeating. That's actually the most
commonly found in citrus fruits. Of course.
So it's always prevalent for that.
Citrus smells so limes. Lemons.
Oh that's interesting. Yes, no maybe yeah lemony does
definitely there the profiles one that comes to my mind is
limoncello. Jim only had invade but I can
only imagine after a fresh grind.
Oh my God. And flavors of that would be so.
No ventilation needed sir. I'll just breathe that straight
into my pillow. Yeah, is amazing, right?
So lemony. He said, it's more in the Citrus
type family to find it in a lot of natural products such as like
fragrances cleaning supplies, stuff like that.
And how does that affect the body comprehensive review with
existing studies in the Journal of Food biochemistry and 2021
had. That limonene was
anti-inflammatory antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
Okay? So and protects cardiovascular
liver and gastrointestinal tissues and humans little going
back to lemoncello whenever I would get like some horrible
stomach. Ache that was the best thing
ever. I don't, I don't imagine that.
This would be something you. Yeah, I don't know.
That's one of the funniest things that smell it here.
Oh man. Yeah, it smells like orange
wine. Yeah, it's super potent
smelling, but it's kind of it's cool.
It's like almost like a wow. That's gonna be the stoner thing
to say, right? Oh, it's like a blanket colors.
Going across my eyes, man. Like when you smell it, like you
get that strong hint of that. Stupor citrusy.
Yeah. But you get the little bit, the,
the orange zest, and then a lemon zest.
Yeah, I almost after it just be like those Boils.
Like if you're at if you're at home, not on the road.
If you're on the road doing this weird, but if you squirt, if you
just take the peel of an orange and you just get that mist of
that orange oil coming off of that.
That's what you you're going to smell from like this distillate.
Mmm. That's that's amazing.
It's quite a I don't have this one as much as as often as I
think I should. Yeah, definitely.
I think that would be a really amazing way to be able to change
up the profile on on that tape. Plus I mean, you know, what
we're talking about the anti-cancer and, of course it's,
you know, you know, alleged that it can.
But it's pretty cool. Being able to be finding people
like Tommy Chong's suffered from.
I think it was testicular cancer or something, but He just he
used a lot of cannabis, not just smoking.
It did a lot of CBD, lot of different things that he was
able to do that. He said ate it with his
recovery, from being able to pull from, not 100% like I just
smoked it. Same with the land and that kid
who only Utah, and he was diagnosed with two days left to
live because he had, I'm totally going to butcher it, but I think
it's like it was some type of its pants.
Sir. She said that it was in his
bloodstream, like it was a blood cells everywhere.
And so he took she had to move out of the state and he's 12.
Now he's 10 years passed and his two days left to live and the,
the hospital's like just going to make a comfortable.
Yeah. And the mom who put everything
aside and salute like that. Yeah, I moved out of the state
and put her kid first and now Now her kids still around and
she's actually creating that same are so loyal and helping
more people because it doesn't help everyone, my aunt passed
from cancer and she was using her as hell, but I do know that
her experience and her quality of life, was probably a hell of
a lot better because of the Harris.
Oh yeah. So some people have this
miraculous stuff and they see amazing, you know, Experiences
and amazing things happen and not everyone does yeah.
Should I mean it definitely, it might not be the cure-all for
everything. You know, everybody's systems is
different but you know, it's better than many Alternatives
and why not have what might have to lose most treatments that
you're going to be able to even slyly get these days.
It's going to be very archaic compared to other ones.
I mean it's just straight poison going into the system.
And if cannabis in one way, And they're doing more studies on
it. They're doing a lot more studies
on it. Same.
What type of anti-cancer properties there was a new bill
passed. You know how the cool ones are
always slid underneath the rug but all the horrible ones alike
looms, take you right right but you know, a bill passed United
States, it's being able to put more research into the
anti-cancer properties. The Cannabis possesses.
So that's pretty cool. And it's not like I drop in the
bucket money's did money. Yeah, to research and there are
studies out There are things that have shown, hey, certain
people have save themselves from their cancer using cannabis, so
it just depends on the maybe the endocannabinoid system on the
person on the dosing. And I can imagine because cancer
is a form of information. So, you know, when you have more
stress in your life, more stress than that one, you know, and it
really it does, it needs to be set on that side that cannabis
chills, you the fuck out. Yes, right?
I can make you anxious but you got CBD there.
He's your friend. He's gonna be like dude.
I got this. Give it to me.
And then reset try it again. But man, I mean it relaxes you.
So anything that's going to be able to reduce your stress
significantly. Totally and completely can be
associated with that. I think that's part of the
anti-inflammatory. Properties is anti childish
chill. Chill out.
Yeah, everyone needs that. Chill this shit out of that, so
It's one of those like Teenage swearing moments, it's going to
say that sounds like a Utah. Swear I don't write as it's
like, what the hell that's of the word through my mind, right?
I'm sorry. I will just say chill the fuck
out, right? Because it's it's what you need,
sometimes. It's what you need to say to
take a step back. And so don't just think of the
anti-inflammatory properties. As far as in this is more
theoretical. It's not like science backed on
this part. This is just kind of a mindset,
but, you know, as you're trying to take care of the body, also
have take care of your head. And this is a great equalizer
and being able to do that because you do notice when you
consume cannabis that sometimes things do not seem as bad as
they are because you're not letting the inflammation of Life
get into your head man. I just went like real life
coaching here but honestly that's how it's true though.
I was talking to my brother this morning and he actually was just
kind of listening to stuff in life and he was like, man.
Now I understand And why you use so much of that stuff that helps
with Stress and Anxiety. He's like, I can understand why
you're constantly, you know, running that through my not but
it's funny because mine isn't even anxiety or stress based
mine's all focused on the pain. Yeah.
But I mean again though, but it helps so much with that with the
mental stuff with my anxiety and stress and depression that comes
with stuff. We'll have you thought about if
you had to live with your pain Every day, how easy would it be
for life to get in there and start messing with you?
I'd be such a grumpy asshole, like such a grumpy asshole and
that's, that's the great thing. I mean, you can only grit your
teeth and bear it so long. And again, it's inflammation of
life and inflammation of your body.
So when you taken care of both, I don't know if it's easier for
you to live healthier. Honestly, you know, and, but
again, it's a mindset. So what's another chirping?
Yeah. The last one that we have was
true, paneling, mmm. And that one also is a fresh
Piney and kind of citrusy Aroma. Come on.
Yeah. So the strong Pine smells that I
don't have this friend of smell so we're just going to have to
imagine it. Mmm.
Okay, so like a Piney, I like that because there are certain
strains where you'll open it up and once you start getting used
to the smells of cannabis. When you open up you can
actually start to really pinpoint these terpenes in
there. And you going oh man, that's a
real Piney lemony smell. So ter pendulum is, it's
actually found in cumin cardamom tea, tree oregano and apples.
Okay, so it's found in human Um Q material, just like those,
what I mean hopefully it's found in humans.
Hopefully they've ingested. Some of your opinion is there
ground up human in this because it kind of smells like Grand of
human that doesn't sound appealing to me at all.
I'll stick with like smoked salmon or something.
What are the is it more of the anti-inflammatory properties of
this of this chirping facts, but to Pity Me.
It most likely contributes to cerebral stimulation and may
create Heightened energy and whizzing thoughts, spirals often
associated with some cannabis varieties.
Whizzing thoughts. Yeah, maybe that.
Why? It's making me go be all the
time, right? That's a really weird whizzing,
thoughts. This is the part of it.
Where it makes you want to drink more water.
Yes, 100% And additive and soaps and perfumes.
So apparently not many high CBD, strains have a ton of turpan
only. Mm-hmm.
So it's more on the THC side, okay, you will find those so all
the other chirpings be confined within CBD.
I guess that makes sense because if you have CBD you have a more
level Entourage effect of yeah elevated experience.
So if you are just on, you know, one that hasn't no CBD or a lot
less you are probably prone to have whizzing thoughts or more.
Hmm. Foggy, brain or canvas thoughts?
Yeah, that's pretty cool II. Didn't Even know that it's
something that when we are consuming, our plant medicine
are our chill-out. Madison are I just I just want
to be chilled right now. So they are looking research is
looking into turpentine, means potential to reduce the risk of
heart disease when used in concert with other nutrients and
it's possible role in the inhibiting, the growth of cancer
cells. Hmm, keep in mind researchers,
his still teasing out the possible.
I'm tripping, really? Well, you know, in the more
concentrated they can make it better, a coffee can be for
everybody. Well, I mean, it's kind of like
even alpha-pinene and or limiting and saying, hey, it's
got these anti-cancer properties.
I was also reading that no one's going to ingest the amount of.
Oh my God, I mean it would take to do that.
But so cute about that the endocannabinoid system and being
able to consume cannabis with it and all those things and
attributes. I think it's just a better way
to be able to get it into your body.
Oh yeah. And having such different wide
variety of cannabis and drippings cannabinoids in there.
Flavonoids, you're going to have such a better experience.
So we sound like the nicest drug pushers.
You know if only your pharmacist was this happy, right?
It's probably smoking cannabis have years and most of them are
not. They just looked like Mindless
drones just in the back. All they're doing is just
looking at stuff, just signing it off.
Yep, that's the medicine that goes into this bottle.
I feel bad for him. I mean, Can a shit ton of money
though, so I really can't say, hey time.
And I mean, someone's got to push pills will just push the
plant medicine and and you remember to keep in mind to
check out the terpene profiles, when you're at your dispensary,
every time that you buy a car, these usually QR code over
there. That'll give you your Co a COA
show you all the quality and everything in it.
So that's always good to look at.
And if you want to experience the Best with your terpenes like
experience. The best terpenes dabbing the
doctored, a purse, which has been fantastic.
Same write a plus if you can really control your temperature
and know where you're at, you can experience such better
flavors, even with vaporizing, you can get a much better
flavor. Yeah.
And even with the vaporizer, if you really want to be able to
get the most out of it, do not pack that bold type just lightly
pillow top it when I mean teletype just a nice little
crust on the top. I do that all the time in my
packs. It was a complete Game Changer.
Yeah. I mean made on so much longer
and the flavors a ton better. Oh yeah.
All the way to the last word. You can't get any smoke out of
it anymore if you want to save them.
Cool. It's still activated.
But man it is a different experience but the end the
flavor profiles that you get from it quite unique, it doesn't
always have to be in a joint. It doesn't always have to be in
a pipe or a bong. It can be so many different ways
and to be able to enjoy this. Now, Knowing that it's really
cool to keep these in mind because also education over
there. Now you start actually consuming
your cannabis and and really trying to think am I tasting
these elements? Do I do I feel these things and
how is that Associated to my THC consumption with the
cannabinoids that are throughout everything and so it's the the
terpenes are enhancing. The entire experience is what
I've gathered from our conversation terpenes Basically
craft and make that experience so much better so you obviously
have them here. Where do you find these research
online? We'll have some links down below
where you can find some cannabis director, peens cool.
So yeah it's definitely something to keep in mind when
you start becoming more advanced with it and you really want to
start tailoring. Your your experience mirror
seems is a great very inexpensive way and pretty safe
way to be able to start consuming your cannabis and a
little bit of More of a tailored exhilarating experience.
Yeah. Clara for sure.
For many get any parting words that we need to keep in mind
about terpenes slurp your tarps, almost gross.
All right. Thank you so much again, go back
to our patreon. We appreciate you guys
supporting this show how you can do anything.
It's just the lowest dollar a month, it just helps us
tremendously. We love you, make sure that your
tip your waiter to and Go to our patreon page.
We've got some some basic March will really want to be able to
start getting some fan art, and we can start putting that on a
bunch of stuff. So it's up on our email and
Brandon what's our email? How sick cannabis, school.you,
s? Okay, how does that cannabis?
Cool.you ask again, it's been another great 101.
Thanks for joining us. Yeah, catch y'all next week.
