Good hemp does.

Terpenes are the secret to cannabis.

Most cannabis has terpenes as a consequence.

Some cannabis has terpenes as a priority. This is the best cannabis.

The “essential oil” of the cannabis plant.

Any suggestions on the hemp or strains of THC? Hemp products make me kind of uncomfortable just because of the lack of regulation. God only knows what's in some of those things. Anyway, any brand recommendations?

Checked the brand I used to use when I needed it - they’re no longer selling hemp flower - just THC A.

Look for brands with lab tests that include terpene levels, and mycotoxins/solvents, for best results!

>mycotoxins/solvents

Care to explain this? Or what I'm looking for with terpene levels?

My experience buying pot is two things

1. Before it was legal you got whatever bullshit they had.

2. Asking the worker at the dispensary for the lowest possible THC containing strain.

Simply them being on the lab test is a huge green flag for quality/safety.

Most fly-by-night ops and money-grubbers will perform and post the legal minimums (at best).
