THC is the primary cannabinoid responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis. The amount of THC in a product can vary widely based on the method of consumption and the strain at the source of that product. The high that is produced is often enhanced by the “entourage effect” which is a combination of multiple cannabinoids in conjunction with various terpenes and individual body chemistry.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique flavor and aroma. Total terpenes represents the combined concentration of all terpene compounds detected in the product, which may influence the overall experience through the entourage effect.
Organic Remedies Shatters, Sugar Waxes and Budders are cold-refined and cold filtered using anhydrous ethanol to preserve the naturally occurring acid-form cannabinoids. Natural cannabis terpenes are preserved during the extraction process and can also be reintroduced to this product after their isolation from the parent plant material using a proprietary steam distillation process. The main difference between waxes, budders, and shatters has to do with many factors including moisture, purge temperatures, and THC to THCA ratio. These products contain between 65 and 90% w/w cannabinoids and between 3 and 7% w/w terpenes*.
