// Definition
Skunkman Sam's controlled experiment vaporizing 25mg doses of pure THC in a Volcano, spiked with individual terpenes using precise pipettes. Results showed that limonene/linalool definitely potentiated THC and modulated effects (getting you way higher), while beta-caryophyllene did not potentiate THC intoxication effects despite its known immune modulation benefits.
// From the Episode
The experiment used standardized methodology - equal 25mg THC doses with brillo pad inserts in a Volcano vaporizer, measured on a precise scale. Only tiny amounts of individual terpenes were added via the smallest available pipettes. Pure THC alone gets you high, but with the right terpenes you get way higher. This is foundational evidence for the entourage effect at the individual terpene level.
