Fast answers from this lesson, built to help customers understand the product before they shop.
In this video, Drew explains that Mr. Extractor’s plant-derived terpene profiles are legal because they are made from terpenes sourced from plants other than the regulated plant. They are blended to recreate familiar strain-style aromas, but they are not the same as direct plant-extracted products.
No. Drew explains that using a strain-style name or familiar aroma does not automatically make a terpene profile illegal. A name, label, or smell does not change what the product actually is.
Mr. Extractor’s terpene profiles are made from individual plant-derived terpenes blended into strain-style aromas. Direct plant-extracted terpenes come from the regulated plant itself, which Drew explains can create different legal and shipping concerns.

Hey, what’s up everyone? This is Drew, owner of MrExtractor.com. Now, are all of our terpenes legal? Yes, they’re 100% legal, and I will explain exactly why.
So, I create what are called “cannabis terpene profiles.” And the way that I do that is, I take individual terpenes that I source from plants other than the cannabis plant. You can take alpha-Pinene from pine needles, and you can take Limonene from lemons. I take these individual terpenes and I recreate them, combine them, into the smell of cannabis that you recognize as cannabis.
Now, simply because something smells like cannabis does not make it cannabis, luckily for all of us. You can take anything you want in life and call it a strain name. That doesn’t make it illegal. Luckily, we don’t have the name police out there. So for example, you could take an orange and put a weed leaf on it and call it Blue Dream. It’s not weed, it’s not illegal. You could take orange juice, do the same thing, not weed, not illegal. And you can take terpenes from an orange, put a cannabis name on it and a weed leaf, not illegal.
You can also take those terpenes and mix them together with a bunch of other terpenes, put a sticker on it, call it a cannabis name, and it is still not illegal. What that means is that I can take these cannabis profiles, I can ship them across state lines, you can have them on you, we can ship them around the world, and we never really have to worry about legalities as far as whether it’s a cannabis product or not.
I will say that that is different from cannabis-extracted terpenes. Those are where they take the terpenes out of the cannabis plant. That is technically a product of cannabis. While it may contain THC, it may not, technically that comes from cannabis. I wouldn’t ship that over lines. I wouldn’t really want to get caught carrying that stuff. Apples and oranges. But the truth is, that is a cannabis product and this is not a cannabis product.
So when you order, you can feel secure that your product will arrive. We will guarantee that it does ship anywhere, and we will make sure that it ships through customs. If they don’t like our sticker, we’ll just take the sticker off because it’s just an image. It doesn’t portray what the actual product is, or its legality.
So, we will guarantee shipping and it is a legal product. That is a yes. So, make sure that you go to MrExtractor.com. Check out all the cannabis terpene profiles.
