3 Tings Most People don’t know about Terpenes: Whether you Vape, Smoke or Eat – the Terps Been Doin the Work

1. Terpenes Are Natural Medicine—Found in More Than Just Ganja

Most people link ganja to THC when talking ’bout how it make dem feel. But there’s something just as powerful working behind di scenes—terpenes. These natural compounds give plants dem smell and flavor, but dem also carry real healing properties.

What plenty people nuh know is that di same terpenes found in herb also show up in nuff other plants, herbs, and superfoods—and anywhere yuh find dem, dem bring di same kinda benefit.

 

Linalool

It show up in lavender, basil, and certain strains of herb. In lavender, linalool help calm yuh nerves, ease stress, and promote good sleep. A so come people use lavender oil in dem bath or pon dem pillow. Same ting in herb—if a strain have linalool, it can ease tension and mellow out di high.

What is Full Spectrum?

When all a these terpenes stay intact through di extraction process, and still deh inside di final product, dat’s what we call a full-spectrum extract. Full-spectrum mean yuh getting di whole plant experience—all di original terpenes, plus THC, plus all di little compounds dat work together fi bring out di true effect.

And dis a why Jah Livity only deal with full-spectrum, solventless extracts. Wi nuh strip out di good parts. Wi keep it Ital. Because when yuh preserve di terpenes, yuh preserve di healing.

 

2. Not Every Extract Keep Di Terpenes—Some Bun Dem Off Completely

Terpenes might sound strong, but dem actually delicate. Easy fi lose dem if di herb not handled right. How yuh dry, store, or extract ganja can determine whether those good compounds stay alive—or get mash up along di way.

When herb dry too hot, or sit down too long inna bad condition, di terpene profile start to fade. Dat mean less flavor, less medicinal benefit, and less overall vibes. It can still get yuh high—but di high feel flat, or too sharp, or not quite right.

High-heat or solvent-based extraction (like distillate)

  • Strip out most or all of di original terpenes
  • Dem often add back in artificial or plant-based terpenes after, just fi mek it smell nice again
  • But dat nuh natural—it nuh di same as di original profile yuh get straight from di plant

Poor drying or storage

  • If ganja exposed to too much heat, light, or air, terpenes break down
  • Even flower dat once had rich scent and effect can end up feelin’ stale and weak

Live resin and live rosin

  • Start with fresh herb dat get flash-frozen right after harvest
  • Freezing help lock in di full terpene profile before it degrade
  • These extracts preserve more of di flavor and feeling, especially when done solvent-free

 

At Jah Livity, wi nuh run di risk of losing di essence of di herb. Wi use a carefully tuned low-heat process to extract ganja oil. That mean di heat is just enough to draw out di cannabinoids and terpenes—without bun up di delicate compounds.

Wi nah deal with harsh chemicals, and wi nah try to “recreate” flavors using lab-made add-ins. What yuh get in a bottle of Jah Livity oil? Is straight ganja and coconut oil, pulled with care, crafted in small batch, and always keeping it Ital.

So when yuh use wi oil—whether yuh rub it, eat it, or bun it—yuh getting di original terpene profile from di same Orange Hill herb. And that’s what bring di full-body calm, di healing energy, and di real flavor yuh can trust.

3. Yuh Nose Already Know—You Been Choosing by Terpenes All Along

Plenty smokers choose herb by how it smell—sweet, gassy, fruity, earthy. Some say, “Mi love dat loud,” or “Dat one smell clean.” But most don’t realize, what dem really choosing is di terpene profile.

Your body already tuned in to what it need. Di nose? It’s like your first tool for guidance.

  • Smell something citrusy and fresh? Your body might be craving limonene to lift your mood.
  • Earthy or musky scent? Maybe it’s myrcene your system want—to slow down and relax.
  • Spicy or peppery? That could be caryophyllene, helping ease stress or inflammation.

Whether yuh realize it or not, yuh been selecting your weed by effect—not just by strain name or THC percent. And that effect come from how your body respond to different terpene combinations.

Even between two strains with di same THC level, one might mek yuh feel energetic, and di other might knock yuh out—because of di terpene mix. That’s how powerful dem compounds be.

So when yuh walk into a dispensary, or yuh get a fresh delivery, and yuh take one whiff and say, “Yeah, dat di one”—trust that. Di body recognize healing, sometimes before yuh mind even process it. Smell is a direct line to di brain and nervous system.

And di more yuh get to know terpenes, di easier it get fi pick herb that match how yuh want to feel. Whether yuh deh pon vacation in Negril, or just want a gentle night home—terpenes help guide di vibes right.
