– Terpenes are aromatic compounds that create flavor and scent only
– They contain zero THC or psychoactive cannabinoids
– 100% pure botanical terpenes from Mr Extractor deliver loud aroma with zero high
– Lab-grade, GC-MS tested, additive-free, and batch-consistent
The Full Science: Why Terpenes Don’t Get You High (But People Often Think They Do)
Terpenes are one of the largest and most diverse classes of natural compounds on Earth. Over 20,000 different terpenes have been identified across the plant kingdom — from the piney scent of α-pinene in pine trees to the citrus notes of limonene in lemons, and the sweet, fruity aromas in many cannabis strains.
In cannabis, terpenes are produced in the same trichomes that produce cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.). Because they are physically present together on the plant, it’s easy to assume they all contribute to the “high.” In reality, they are chemically and functionally distinct:
- Cannabinoids (like THC) interact directly with the body’s endocannabinoid system and are responsible for psychoactive effects.
- Terpenes are volatile hydrocarbons that primarily interact with scent receptors in your nose and can influence how cannabinoids are experienced through something called the entourage effect — they may enhance or modulate the overall experience, but they do not cause intoxication on their own.
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that isolated terpenes show no psychoactive properties in humans or animals. When you spray or mix Mr Extractor’s 100% pure botanical terpenes onto flower, pre-rolls, or concentrates, you are simply adding back (or enhancing) the natural aroma and flavor profile — without any risk of a high.
Our formulations are:
- 100% pure botanical terpenes sourced from plants
- Additive-free — no PG, VG, PEG, MCT, or synthetic carriers
- Lab-grade isolates that are GC-MS tested for purity and molecular accuracy
- Engineered for batch-to-batch consistency and long-term shelf stability
- Fully supported by third-party lab reports and Certificates of Analysis on every batch
This is why growers, extractors, and consumers have trusted Mr Extractor since 2014 to deliver loud, true-to-strain flavor without compromising the experience they actually want.
