it really helped me question because i understand the distractions the terpenes can be evaporated
off during those processes and we have to add them back in okay so just so you guys have an
understanding of the terminology you have packs boxes and cases a pack is a pound i think there's
a major difference between flower and between extraction and putting things back into to the
end consumer part because really there's a lot of unknowns and you read a lot of reports of of
doctors and substating we don't know the effects of vaporizing these terpenes these synthetic
terpenes we don't know the effects and i just asked some very basic questions um the first one
was just how does it work how do the terpenes work and they stated good morning our terpene
essentials are still boost packs uh so they release only have you ever bought a pound and
it smelled absolutely amazing and then like an hour later it smells like hay well in this video

so dave let's go ahead and get into this right um you you just asked me a question and a product
came up and yeah yeah let's get into it i was uh going through my cannabis magazine and there's
this new product coming out um by integra boost and it's called integra boost terpene essentials
and basically what they're doing is combining their humidipack and adding terpenes that are
supposedly going to evaporate and add terpenes flavors and smells and potential effects to your
product and for me this hit way too close to home for like late 90s early 2000s and i remember a
buddy coming along like i got some blueberry flour you know i open it up i'm like dude that smells
like lysol what the heck is in there he's like oh i got these new drops you add into the flour
and i'm like no thank you so it really helped me question because i understand that extractions
the terpenes can be evaporated off during those processes and we have to add them back in so is
this any better or any worse let's get into first trying to talk about the main issue the main issue
is can these companies even identify they're having an integrity issue right within their
own culture and company like like they're they're trying to make more sales create another product
they already created a great product already it's already doing phenomenal and they introduced their
product from the tobacco industry to the canna industry right so they you know exploded their
cells and so now they're like okay we need we need more products more diversity and so someone said
hey let's let's put terpenes natural or they said they are natural terpenes right yeah they um they
said they're uh botanical food grade terpenes okay so so it sounds like they're potentially synthetic
terpenes they don't use synthetic they don't say synthetic but that's what my feeling was
as well okay so we still gotta dive in remember opinions like [ __ ] everyone has one but
we have to go back and really think about the level of integrity uh of what we're discussing
right and what we're purchasing from the the end consumer and then you have you have the grower
then you have the whole seller and then that whole seller will break it up
because normally you'll have a much larger wholesaler that's pay uh buying it cases
okay so just so you guys have an understanding of the terminology you have packs boxes and cases a
pack is a pound boxes is 100 pounds and cases is a thousand pounds okay and so that's the
the lingo of the industry for pretty much across the board so mo so what you have is you have the
grower and then you have the larger people that are normally picking up between normally picking
up boxes or or cases and then they're breaking it down into packs of 10 25s or whatever and
it's going out and then it further thing gets redistributed back out so the main issue where
where these things are what's going to affect is the the the relationship between the growers
and the the large buyers right the main the main guys because they're gonna purchase it
they're gonna smell it it's gonna smell great and then what's gonna happen is that humidity pack at
some point through the distribution line is gonna be removed out of there and just as easily as that
water-soluble lighter volatile compound that is in a water-soluble solution just as easily as it
goes onto the surface of this flower is and when that pack gets removed just as easily
as the that crappy smell is going to return back to that flower and they they're going to run into
major distribution issues because people are at some point not going to want this product and so
for me i think there's a major difference between flower and between extraction and
putting things back into to the end consumer product because really you're you're telling
the consumer the truth or you're telling that buyer i mean if you put a label on your pack on
every pack that said spray on terpenes add it back in or are enhanced with additional
terpenes and then give the information and give the information absolutely then then passing that
information along will release the liability from the grower to those large buyers and so
i think that's mainly probably my biggest issue is like not really thoroughly doing a good job and
actually helping to further destroy the integrity of this entire industry by helping to mislead
people in a sense and that that's what i fear and this is what me and you were discussing i was like
you know it it's one thing to add something back but if we're not disclosing this and people are
opening up jars and they're smelling all these different terpenes lima mean pine
um you know in this company you know they're stating you know there's potential effects
so if people gravitate towards a terpene profile that enlightens them and helps them through their
medication you know is it really providing that and this is why the company's saying potentially
um and i just wanted to clarify earlier i was in communications with them via email and they
state that they use a 100 plant-based salt free solution by doing this only pure water vapor goes
into the buds with no traces of any off gases this way your flour smells flavors terpenes etc stay
intact um and then their website you add the pack for 20 to 48 hours you take it out and then you
add a normal pack back into it and supposedly if you put it in an airtight container you can keep
reusing that terpene pack for a few times but then they do give a guide about um like a four
gram is only good for a quarter ounce and and so forth but that's where i fall short like i
don't know how to view this like as as a as a at home medical grower if i'm like i grew some
man not so good hey like you said haze stuff and i want to add something back in me personally i
don't want i don't want that i don't want to do that because i don't know the effects and if we
dive into these synthetic and natural terpenes and stuff like that there's a lot of unknowns and you
read a lot of reports of of doctors and stuff stating we don't know the effects of vaporizing
these terpenes these synthetic terpenes we don't know the effects and and this is what pisses
me off with the industry is we have something that's finally legal prohibition in some states
are gone and then we take and we start mixing different oils to make these vape cartridges
and vitamin e and and glycol and all this stuff and i'm like i just want the flower and now that
i've seen this new product coming out it's where i think people were more hesitant with adding
liquids to their flowers and stuff like that now you have a pack that's supposedly water vapor
providing terpenes are going to give you effects i don't think so there's just going along with
what you're saying too let's say let's say if it does possibly give effects right which first i
even have to wonder can they even state something like that on their pack on their label but either
way let's just go back into it and just just talk about it for a second another word adulteration
right you're adultering the product you your your flower that flower the genetics of that plant the
natural order of of god the life created this very specific terpene profile on that plant and it gave
you as a grower an opportunity to grow that plant to the best of your ability and to provide that
medicine to the to the potentially to your end consumers and you're adulterating your product
and let's say you end up adding more of a terpene what what does that do a lot my viewpoint around
how this plant works is that the thc is more like the the key to to the lock right but the
but the terpene profiles is what guides your your psychedelic experience right and so if you if you
add in more of one thing or you reduce another thing how does that affect your experience of
of what you should be experiencing this time and i know we we use this as as just a you know puff one
do this do that but this plan is really a medicine and we if we go back to it we just we just have to
go back to the roots and the foundation it really is of what it provides and and how to harvest cure
and consume absolutely it's if i bought a lavender plant for that plant i it's
because i want it right if i go to the store and buy a blend of rosemary and lavender it's
be i know what i'm buying and that's when we talk about extraction and and they are they're taking
these the like a 1901 ratio and then some really good extractors are actually adding back terpenes
but the great extractors adding back natural terpenes because the terpenes that have been
through water distillation removing them from the actual different ways you can actually
distill different levels of terpenes off the actual plant itself versus a synthetic and like
versus using synthetic or chemical or salt based uh terpenes so yeah i don't support this product
because i think it's it's misleading and it's a shame that marketing has gotten to a point that
they can feel comfortable marketing a product like this and probably start selling a product like
this and convince a lot of people it's okay and who what did that what did that comedian say about
do you remember that one comedian he talked about marketers bill hicks it might have been no i don't
but he was like i hate all you mother marketers you know it's just because you you're convincing
someone that the [ __ ] you're selling doesn't smell like [ __ ] just because you put another
coat of paint over it or something well and i just i just imagine some of these you know these
dispensaries and these blood tenders like oh smell this one it smells oh my god like citrus and those
and then behind closed door there's a guy like putting the packs in and like hey has it been
48 hours yet you know like pull it out that's what i worry about because it's such a deceiving
thing and and people need to be you know be made aware of it you know if you if you labeled it mark
marketed it as this is what it is we added terpenes this is the msd sheets this is safe
it's water vapor you know but then i was even questioning like why why do they tell you to
take it out in 24 to 48 hours is it because it's gonna make it like is it gonna is it potentially
doing something that we don't want to happen in our bodies or is it just because it'll be way
too pungent what is it like they don't disclose that and i'm like man there's a time limit and
we all forget to do stuff the other day i forgot to turn off my ro water and i don't have a float
yet so what happened is overflowed water you hear about people like oh i was burping my jars
the kids were going crazy i woke up the next day and realized i never closed the jars so with this
time restraint like if is there air for people to forget that they put this essential terpene pack
in there and what is the adverse effects of that so dave what are some of the questions that you
asked this company i just asked some very basic questions um the first one was just how does it
work how do the terpenes work and they stated good morning our terpene essentials are still boost
packs uh so they release only pure water vapor that is absorbed by the buds since these packs
are now basically injected with botanical terpenes they're the terpenes are being absorbed with the
water vapor the terpene products also come in our no ox oxygen absorber to help maintain the terp so
it's some type of probably vacuum sealed process so no ox because once oxygen happens obviously
the evaporation process but what stuck out for me is when they stated these packs are now basically
injected with the botanical terpenes like is it or isn't it no it's basically kind of weird
you ever remember opening one up and it smells like bubblicious whatever back in the day yeah
whatever happened to that string you get to the end of the bag you're like ooh it's like a gumball
it's basically bubble gum and then uh the other the other response was thanks for showing your
interest with their integra products uh our two-way humidity control packs include a hundred
percent plant-based and salt-free solution by doing this only pure water vapor goes into your
buds with no traces of any any off-gasses this way your flour smells flavors terpenes etc stay intact
while still keeping them fresh and that's where we left off in our communications with them
all right thank you dave appreciate you dave i think you brought up a lot of great questions at
the end of the day i have an opinion opinions like [ __ ] everyone has one remember that i would love
to hear what you guys think and i would love to hear if you guys have ever thought about some of
your own personal core values i would love to that you post just one of your personal core values
and what it means to you and i'd love to just end this with just sharing a story of
how core values were introduced to me i was 26 years old i went to a business seminar
i was dragged to the side by now a really good friend named scott fritz
this at this point he was a presenter at that business center he i don't know why he dragged
me aside but he ended up asking me he was like mark what are your core values and i and i i i
pull back and i'm like what our corvette oh what are values and he starts laughing and he says well
first go home and google what values are when you go home but for now they're like honesty or
teamwork but the significant about the thing about this is that once you identify a couple words that
might be your core values he he said to define them for yourself and so i'll give you a couple
examples my five core values are honesty teamwork understanding appreciate respect so honesty
tell me the truth it hurts respect create a stable environment for the people around me
appreciate remember past experiences but remember now is what is real understanding where the other
man's shoes before i react and teamwork get up and help without being asked and at the day he told me
once you establish your core values run every single decision through those core values and
if it's not in line with those values just don't do it it won't work out and that's the advice
that perfect gardens is giving to this industry because we are hunting for products like this to
