Let’s talk terpenes!
Did you know that terpenes are nature’s super-power? Essentially, a terpene is an aromatic compound that makes up the scent, aroma and flavor in every plant on the planet. And they have major therapeutic benefits. We spent the past two years developing a scientific process that allows us to strip out THC from cannabis, and reintroduce a customized cocktail of terpenes. Which is why our newest product - Calm Oil - is such a game-changer. Let’s take a look at terpenes on our hit list, and what they’ll do for you…
