Science Of Terpenes

Are Terp Sprays Dangerous? Understanding Concentration

Are terp sprays dangerous? Drew discusses why the term can describe very different products, with particular concern about concentrated ingredients and using a product outside its intended application.

Overview

Drew examines several products that may be described as terp sprays: repurposed vape profiles, food flavorings, concentrated aromatic ingredients, purpose-built flower sprays, and cannabis-derived terpenes. His concern centers on concentration and intended use. He argues that some ingredients are sold at strengths that require careful dilution and says buyers should question a manufacturer about formulation and safety documentation. These are Drew’s claims in the video, not an independent toxicology assessment. A label or strong smell alone does not tell a buyer whether a product is appropriate for a particular use; follow the product’s documentation and applicable requirements.

[0:00] Are terp sprays dangerous? Yeah, yeah, they can be.

[0:04] It’s probably not what you expected me to say, but they absolutely can be, not mine. Other people’s are.

[0:09] And I’m here to explain to you why and how chemically that terp sprays can be dangerous. And some of them actually are.

[0:15] And I’m going to explain it to you in a very simple way that you can understand and keep yourself safe when you’re purchasing them in the future, even if you don’t purchase from me. I’m just here to help you out.

[0:24] My name is Drew. I’m the owner of Mr. Extractor.

[0:27] I am here to teach you the secrets of becoming profitable and one of the most lucrative new sectors of the cannabis industry. terp sprays.

[0:36] My name is Andrew Jones, and about 15 years ago, I invented the first terpene profiles in a lab in my bedroom closet.

[0:44] Through Facebook Live, I taught the world how to create cannabis vape pens, spawning dozens of new terpene companies, hundreds of new businesses, thousands of new jobs,

[0:53] millions of happy users, and an industry worth over $6 billion a year.

[0:59] Now I’m back out of retirement to show you the next evolution of terpenes BagPop terp spray.

[1:06] So I bet you didn’t think I was going to tell you that terp sprays can be dangerous, but they absolutely can be.

[1:11] As a terp spray manufacturer, I think it’s important to be honest with everybody about everything. I mean, that’s just good business.

[1:17] So how can terp sprays be dangerous? Well, it’s they’re not all the same.

[1:24] There’s multiple different types of terp sprays, and they’re all grouped under one umbrella called terp sprays.

[1:31] In this video, I’m going to tell you the different types of things that are being called terp sprays and why they’re dangerous.

[1:38] And then I’ll tell you which ones to look for and how you can shop for the correct ones. Why is this important? Before you watch this whole video? For one, you don’t want to ruin your product.

[1:47] Weed’s expensive for two, you don’t want to hurt anybody, right? And for three, you don’t want to waste your money on the wrong spray.

[1:53] It costs you money, it costs you time, and then it doesn’t work. None of that’s good. And all you got to do is watch a 5 or 10 minute video.

[2:00] You’ll know more than everybody else, and you can get right to business.

[2:03] Okay, so let’s first go over the basic types of things that are being called terp sprays. And then I’ll tell you what’s right and wrong with all of them.

[2:12] So first off terpene profiles were created from making vape cartridges. They are chemically different from terp sprays.

[2:21] You can spray any liquid on anything, but terpene profiles are not designed to work on cannabis.

[2:28] Smells like chemicals hurt your throats.

[2:31] When you’re buying terp sprays from somebody, make sure they are not selling you a repurposed terpene profile and just calling it a terp spray.

[2:40] I’ll explain that a little bit more. Okay. Flavoring. What is it like, Joanne? Flavorings or something like that? I don’t know, there’s like bakeries that sell flavoring.

[2:49] People are buying that, spraying it on weed. It is a flavoring. It doesn’t really smell good. And people aren’t eating the weed. Don’t buy flavoring and spray it on your weed.

[2:58] A lot of companies are doing that, I recognize it, I know the smells. I’ve been doing this for a long time.

[3:04] Okay, this one’s a little hard to explain. There are a lot of companies that are selling very concentrated chemicals.

[3:14] I’ve gone into this in one of my other videos.

[3:16] I’m kind of going to repeat a lot of the knowledge here because it kind of blends over. So as customers want a better deal, they want to drive the price down.

[3:24] They keep complaining and calling companies and saying, your product’s not strong enough. I want a stronger product. That’s because they got 10 pounds.

[3:32] They don’t want to spend $100 on 5 pounds of weed getting sprayed. They want to spend $5 on it.

[3:37] And the problem with that is that chemical companies are selling extremely strong chemicals to vape companies and terpene companies,

[3:47] who are in turn selling that to you at the most concentrated formula because you want it. But the problem is it’s not safe because it’s in too high of a concentration.

[3:56] I need to explain this a little bit further.

[3:58] So as I mentioned in one of the other videos, I have a lot of individual chemicals, and one of my jobs is to take

[4:06] all the individual chemicals and blend them together into smells that you recognize as a flavor.

[4:13] But these individual chemicals are super strong.

[4:16] I have chemicals that I have a gallon of, and I put three drops in and you taste it and you smell it.

[4:23] I have chemicals that we diluted 1000 to 1 ratio 100 to 1 ratio.

[4:28] I have chemicals that are in a bottle this big tiny open the top. Anybody who smells it in the room gets sick for 10 to 12 hours.

[4:38] If I open the top and close it and you walk anywhere near it, you’re going to get sick for 12 hours. That’s a terpene. You remember how people are like. You can eat terpenes.

[4:47] Are terpenes safe? That’s a terpene. God forbid you got that on your skin. It absorbed into your skin and went into your nervous system.

[4:54] I can’t imagine what that would do to you because you’re smelling it. Probably a part per million or a part per billion. God forbid you get it in pure into your skin.

[5:03] That’s a purified chemical.

[5:04] So a lot of companies are taking these chemicals and they’re selling them directly to you. And how do I know this?

[5:13] I take my competitors and then I go on their website. I shouldn’t tell you this.

[5:18] I go on their websites, I look up their MSDS, I look up their COAs, a lot of companies, and I should just expose this.

[5:25] Take the COAs and MSDS of the company they buy their chemical from and just change their name on the top. I know all the chemical suppliers.

[5:33] I recognize the MSDS sheets, so I will literally open up the chemical supplier, open up this company and see that they’ve just swapped names.

[5:41] I see it all the time. I understand what chemicals they’re buying. I understand what concentrations they’re buying. I know what’s in it. I don’t always explain that to everybody, but for me it’s pretty simple.

[5:51] So when a chemical company sells a super concentrated flavor to a terpene company, and then they in turn sell it to you at a super concentrated level, that’s not safe.

[6:02] If you get that stuff on your hands or okay, let me back this up. So when you have a company that’s selling you a cotton ball, excuse me.

[6:11] They’re giving directions to take one of their concentrated formulas. They put a couple drops on a cotton ball. You put the cotton ball in a jar, you seal it up with a pound.

[6:19] You wait 24 hours. I know how concentrated that formula is.

[6:23] That is a formula that was designed to be diluted at 100 or 1000 to one, in a normal product. I know what they are and they’re selling it to you pure.

[6:32] That is completely unsafe. It is not meant to be used that way. Also, that’s the directions. Are you telling me that again?

[6:42] I’ve said this before, but take the dumbest person you know ever that is sold cannabis and give them that chemical. Do you think they’re putting it on the cotton ball and waiting 24 hours?

[6:51] Do you think maybe they’re just dropping that stuff on some weed?

[6:53] So what happens when you take a chemical that’s supposed to be diluted at 1000 to 1? They skip the cotton ball method.

[7:00] They put it directly on a bud, they seal it in a bag, they expect it to evaporate.

[7:05] And then you get the one bud that has the drop on it that has 1000 to 1 ratio on it, and then you smoke it. I promise you that that’s happening.

[7:14] A responsible company would never sell you anything that’s strong. It is not meant to be used that way. But these people don’t understand the chemistry behind it.

[7:21] What they understand. I got a phone call. I want something stronger. I have this, this is less work. Let me just give it to you.

[7:29] It’s chemical poisoning. I disagree with it. These things were designed to be diluted down. That’s how these things work. You know, as a chemical manufacturer, that’s just how it works.

[7:38] These things are very strong. You have to dilute them to the appropriate level. That’s how everything works in life. So I see that happen with a lot of chemical companies.

[7:48] A lot of terpene companies are just reselling these overly strong things. I really highly recommend that you do not use them. So don’t use terpene profiles there for vapes.

[7:57] Don’t use flavoring of any kind. It doesn’t smell good. It’s meant for taste. I don’t think it smells good at all. I wouldn’t put it on anything.

[8:05] Don’t use these over concentrated chemicals that these people don’t understand how to dilute properly to a usable level.

[8:12] All right. Things you can use. BagPop. terp spray.

[8:17] My terp spray works well because I have formulated it to be able to be used in any concentration without it being harmful.

[8:25] When I use that with a grain of salt, obviously, you know, you can’t drink the bottle, you can’t pour it on there, but in general you can use as much as you want and it just tastes better and better and better.

[8:33] It starts with adding aroma, then it adds flavor you can taste, and then it adds flavor that you can blow out in. Other people smell in the room.

[8:41] It’s specifically at the right strength. It’s formulated to be used in all those ways. It’s not harsh. It doesn’t go away. It’s not a terpene profile. It’s perfect.

[8:50] I recommend that there’s I’m not saying every other company in the world is bad. There are terpene companies that are doing this correctly.

[8:59] My advice to you is, as a manufacturer, I am telling you specifically in all my videos how I make, what I make, why it’s different, and what you should do in application rates.

[9:08] If you’re buying terp sprays from another company, they should be doing at least the same.

[9:13] Explain to you why is this not any of the other things that I just described to you? So I recommend that first and foremost.

[9:21] And, you know, like I said, there are some good companies out there.

[9:23] Do your research. Find it out. The last thing is cannabis extracted terpenes, cannabis derived terpenes.

[9:30] These are terpenes that are pulled directly from good cannabis. They’re expensive right now. Average price is $10 a milliliter.

[9:37] You’re probably going to use I don’t know, it depends on the strength. We sell them. We have them. It’s there. Okay.

[9:45] In general, I think they’re really good. I really don’t have any complaints about it. It’s going to make your product smell like weed.

[9:51] It’s another version of the BagPop terp spray that’s adding the cannabis flavor directly back into the cannabis.

[9:59] The terp spray is more for adding flavors like, you know, candy flavors, fruity flavors, dessert flavors, the popular stuff that’s on the packaging.

[10:08] While cannabis derived turbines are going to add the diesel, the skunk, the OG smells too. So.

[10:17] The problem in the industry is that there are so many things that are blanketed being called terp sprays.

[10:23] I’m sorry it’s unfortunate for you, but you really do have to do your homework. On which one of the products that I just described as being sold to you.

[10:30] I hope it’s not overly complicated.

[10:32] I’m trying to explain from a chemical standpoint that a lot of these people just don’t know what they’re doing, and you need to know what you’re doing so you can do it safely.

[10:39] If you ever have any questions about this stuff, you can call the company eight zero Kush Bud zero. That rings to a phone I keep in my pocket.
