Terpene Sublingual Acceleration

🩺 Medicine First mentioned: Ep. 062

The observed phenomenon where adding approximately 1-3% terpenes to a sublingual cannabis preparation significantly accelerates its onset and increases its effectiveness. This application may represent a safer use of concentrated terpenes compared to inhalation, and is a candidate for formal observational studies.

Tony Verzura discussed his interest in getting university-backed research behind terpene-enhanced sublinguals. He noted that removing cannabinoids from the terpene preparation (leaving no detectable THC) opens doors for university research since it can be studied like any other compound.
