I think you speak about precision medicine and kind of personalized medicine if you wanted to touch upon that and how terpenes fit into that’s a big black box at the moment I am big on precision and personalized medicine in general for cbd thc and in this whole field and terpenes are obviously going Live resin Terpenes to play a part in that the reason being is we all have I’m sure you guys have all heard of the endocannabinoid system right so we have receptors in our body for endocannabinoids and cannabis CBD and THC those are cannabinoids and they're compounds that bind to these receptors and the terpenes also play a role on these receptors sometimes they bind somewhere else and inactivate.
Importance of Medical Terpenes
The enzyme and so my point here without getting into too much detail maybe there's some comments over here is that precision medicine is complicated but it’s gonna be dependent on what you're trying to treat right so one size is not going to fit all for cbd thc and or the terpenes it really is dependent on what kind of ailment you have sure thank you jake or Stephen True Terpenes if you had anything to add about the kind of products we're seeing maybe Stephen if you wanted to elaborate on some of the concentrations that you've seen in some of these products as well well like steven mentioned earlier in the kind of natural extracts from cannabis well in the plant you know maybe the terpenes are at two to three-four percent when you extract that they go up you know roughly three to five times usually.
So depending on the extraction system and the processing that goes into it you can you can separate the terpenes out so there are no terpenes or very very tiny amounts of terpenes you can add the terpenes back in you can leave them there at much higher concentrations say in you know 10 15 so three times as much as there was there in the plant and so you can really start to play with a lot of these different terpenes but also a lot of the different cannabinoids Terpenes for sale and other molecules in the plant as well and kind of getting to the personalized medicine it's one thing to take one individual molecule in a drug or something say it's cbd or say it's ibuprofen that's one molecule right but we just talked about you know three four different terpenes and there's seven that are commonly occurring in hemp there's another you know five major cannabinoids that are occurring in kemp so now you have 12 different molecules and in each strain and in each extract they're all at very different levels so each one of those could have a very different effect on your body and it becomes a terribly complicated science problem to try to piece out what individual aspect of those 14 different molecules and there's probably 100 different other molecules that no one talks about in there as well and so i think to kind of get to the personalized medicine it's going to take a ton of effort to kind of go through that and sort out what's causing what effects and in combination how they work togetherdittoyou know in the farmer world you use one molecule and you you know you study the pkpd you study the metabolites.
