// Definition
Tony Verzura's technique of creating solventless cannabis saps by modulating terpene-to-cannabinoid ratios without using any chemical solvents. His Prana product line (P1-P5) each represented 3-12 months of R&D. He found 15-20% terpene volume with flower or hash rosin produced optimal balance; 50/50 terpene oil ('turp oil') created an intense psychedelic-like giddy effect; 1-3% in flower produced subtle shifts.
// From the Episode
Tony's approach was entirely solventless -- no butane, hexane, ethanol. Anything below 4-star hash was collected and processed into Prana products. Blue River terpenes grew from wanting activated terpene lines. He advocated for understanding the environmental footprint of extraction: post-run butane flower waste disposal, packaging waste. Mark Scialdone pointed Tony to existing chemical literature on limonene as a solvent (used by Horatio/LHO). Tony observed different crystal nucleation speeds with different terpene profiles.
