// Definition
A series of controlled experiments conducted by Skunkman Sam and Robert Connell Clarke around 2000, vaporizing pure THCA alone, then combined with terpene-rich resin, demonstrating that THC without terpenes produces flat, one-dimensional effects lacking the character of whole-plant cannabis.
// From the Episode
Sam obtained 100% pure THCA and they vaporized 25mg each in a Volcano. Rob Clarke said 'If this is all there is to cannabis, I wouldn't be a smoker.' They compared it to Everclear (pure ethanol). When combined with 50% dry-sift skunk resin, the 75% THC mixture was twice as strong as pure THC, sparking their terpene research program.
