Hey BH, L33t,
thanks for the link l33t, so that must mean that lime oil is smokable, at least at small dosage, so i tried some on joint... it s quite tasty, but if you put it straight on the paper i must say it s a little bit too lemony sometimes, but still ok.
I didn t really notice any big difference in the high, but i must try it again, for a wake and bake session it can be not really acurate ^^ with ECSD...
BH maybe mixing with oil some cannabis oil would be interesting.. seems some research have been made by others...I don t have any oil in my possession, and i don t have a lot of stash atm, so i cant do the oil test, nor the eating taste.... but i will... i ll think about everything...
Indeed vaporizing is the best solution in my mind, we just put the oil straight on the buds...
i m still looking for the vaporization temperature of the terpens (myrcen,pinen,etc..) could be really interesting too see if a vaporizer is able to isolate some.
I'm gonna pm jack from gh to see if he can come with some answers, and if greenhouse breeders are ready to share more knowledge with some fellow smokers ^^ Cause they know a lot. I now will try to their method to smell the bud and break it before smoking. i always do spend time on smelling it prior to any smoke, but never noticed if it can affect the high and how much...
Reeferman, if you re still around, i wonder what were your main conclusions in your experimentations in terpens.. do you have any smell you could describe the high ? For exemple can you link the high to some tastes/smell in the l33t posted chart
++ Hope you all readers enjoy the geeks ^^ lol

Medical Marijuana said:"Also, Robert Connel Clarke's book on hash covers all the terpenes very well. Rosenthal's next book out early next year has 3 chapters devoted to terpenes. Rosenthal does very little re grow thse days, and has been doing research with the chinese on terpenes. I talked about this with him at Mardi Grass this year."
need to find this book...
"One thing Ed told me that fascinated me, is that he is looking into 'value adding', whereby selected terpenes are somehow added to buds post harvest, to improve the quality of the high. At first I thought this a bit dubious, thinking along the lines of watering down whiskey, but then I realised that this immediately gave scope to allow users to tailor buds to personal tastes."
"I am trialling a cannabis tincture with added Myrcene, and have noticed some profound benefits.
The base tincture I use is a tinc made from a strain called Clever Man. It is great for pain, hunger, and dream suppression, but lacks a bit in mood lift. When I add 1ml of Myrcene to 125ml of tinc, the new tinc takes on a much better mood-lifting quality. It is very noticeable! Myrcene is known to be a powereful analgesic, anti-inflammatory, mood modulator. It has been used in the perfume industry for years, as well as aromatherapy applications.
Myrcene is a sticky clear amber coloured resin, not unlike the resin on a Cannabis plant."
"The skunk aroma is a combination of many terpenes, dominated by it's Afghan input in the genetics. It is very high in Myrcene, which comes from the sativa side of parentage. I think all up there are 67 main terpenes, so Skunk aroma will be a mix."
Well, first up is to make sure that you ALWAYS inhale the aromas and perfumes PRIOR to smoking or vaping. You do this by breaking up, or chopping up your bud prior to consumption. This releases the volatile terpenes in the bud when you rupture the resin glands. If you then inhale deeply through your nose and wait at least 5 minutes, you will maximise the benefits from that bud.
To show how this works in practice, all of you will have seen reports from police that their officers have gotten 'high' when seizing ripe cannabis in large quantities from a grow room. The police are not actually high, but they are in fact affected by the terpenes released into the air as they handle the cannabis. The two most prevalent terpenes giving this reaction are Myrcene and Geraniol. The police are relaxed and somewhat sedated, but they are NOT high. You will also notice this effect when manicuring your cannabis at harvest time.
I know a lot of purists will nay say about breaking a bud up prior to smoking, but I can assure you that they would get a better benefit if the chopped and inhaled first.
