What to Look for When Shopping for Cannabis

At Fluent, we are committed to providing the details you require to make informed decisions about any product you select. All our cannabis products are tested by a third party for purity and quality, as are all state-licensed dispensaries. We know that many cannabis connoisseurs relish the opportunity to browse their favorite locations for new strains and that others find the entire selection process to be a bit overwhelming. 

Whether you’re looking for a strain with the potential to aid in calming your mind, ease discomfort, or something else entirely, our knowledgeable curators can assist you in finding the products most likely to deliver favorable outcomes based on their terpene profiles. Once you understand the significance of terpene’s active botanical components, it’s easy to see why so many cannabis users in Florida choose Fluent vaporizer cartridges and concentrated extracts.

 

What Are Terpenes and What Do They Do? 

Terpenes are bioactive components that give plants their distinctive flavors and aromas. If you have ever felt energized by the scent of citrus peels or soothed by a cup of lavender tea, you’ve already experienced a few of the many potential advantages of these aromatic molecules known as Terpenes.

There was a time researchers credited the reported advantages of terpenes to their ability to trigger the brain’s emotional centers. Today, we know their impact is far more complex. Like cannabinoids, terpenes bind with important chemical receptors in your body and brain, transmit electrical signals, and influence numerous functions essential to overall well-being.  

 

What Kinds of Terpenes Are There? 

The scientific community has discovered nearly 20,000 plant-based terpenes. Of those many thousands, researchers have identified approximately 150 terpenes in cannabis. Although the highest terpene strains come in at about 2-3% (by dry weight), the exact numbers are highly variable. 

However, natural terpenes can also be isolated, refined, and used to enhance the reactions of a wide range of cannabis products, including vaporizer cartridges, concentrated extracts, and drops. Many cannabis believes they feel they gain better advantages selecting products based on their terpene content than using similar options selected by strain and THC levels alone.

 

What Role Do Terpenes Play in the Entourage Effect? 

When you first began investigating the potential advantages of cannabis, you likely discovered a considerable amount of references crediting some of the plant’s many cannabinoids for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, anti-spasmodic, and neuroprotective properties. 

Although each of the main cannabinoids in cannabis has significant restorative potential, the combined impact of the plant’s cannabinoids and terpenes produces an action that magnifies and multiplies the reaction of each component. Since their impact is far greater when combined than in isolation, cannabis researchers named this phenomenon unique to cannabis an “entourage” effect.

 

How to Determine Which Terpenes Are Right for You 

At Fluent Cannabis Care, you’ll find the pre-rolls and flowers most often recommended to those looking for the highest terpene strains, plus a selection of terpene-enhanced vape cartridges and highly capable extracts specifically formulated for flavor, aroma, and overall influence. 

If you prefer the convenience of shopping online for store pickup or delivery (where available), consider browsing your options on our website. As you’re reading descriptions, comparing high terpene strains, or contemplating the appeal of various flavor profiles, you may also want to consider the potential advantages of the following terpenes:

  • Myrcene – primarily responsible for marijuana’s sedative power and analgesic properties
  • Linalool – anxiolytic, analgesic, and ease of discomfort properties with neuroprotective potential
  • Limonene – analgesic, ease of discomfort, anxiolytic, and mood-boosting potential
  • Pinene – an anxiolytic terpene believed to moderate the aftermath of THC
  • Caryophyllene – a terpene with a spicy aroma and anxiolytic properties
  • Farnesene – an anti-inflammatory terpene with anti-spasmodic and anti-viral potential

It can be productive to brush up on the potential advantages of those highest terpene strains and specific terpene profiles, but it is unnecessary. Our curators have the expertise you need to make informed decisions about selecting products based on your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.
