Understanding TerpenesUpdated 2 years ago

Terpenes are the fragrant oils that give cannabis its aromatic diversity. These oils, secreted in the flower’s sticky resin glands, also appear in many other herbs, fruits, and plants. They play a significant role in the therapeutic and medicinal use of cannabis, by creating subtle effects across different strains.

At Papa & Barkley, our Whole Plant infusion process captures the cannabis plant's complete profile of cannabinoids and terpenes in order to improve the efficacy of our products. The profile of these terpenes can be found on the batch labels of our products.
