Lol, this is why I avoid this section of the forum. Frenchy, limonene is a terpene from cannabis that is a peripheral cb2 agonist. The op certainly can get kief by cryofreezing bud then sifting, its a simple fast process with higher purity than wet sift like bubble. And yes, it yields a fluffy powder that you need to "cheat" to get to stick, like melting with solvent or adding back some natural marijuana components like glycerin or limonine or caryophylline, though no, its not my preferred method, just an offered solution to the ops problem.....Do at least *try* and keep up if you're gonna start picking fights with the op and everyone else. *blocked*

Not picking up a fight just saying my thought on those methods...............
I do understand that Limonene is also a cannabis terpene but the Limonene and other terpenes people are using to give taste to their extract is not, as far as I have seen. The cannabis terpenes have properties that other terpenes do not have, like unblocking the blood barrier to cannabinoids.

Frenchie I'd beg to argue that a terpine is a terpine and no one plant has an exclusive on producing it, now adding stuff back because the method one chooses has short comings is a question of integrity rather than terpene originality. It's a dirty, medically dangerous, and stinky game when an extract artist turns into a perfumer of the lungs.....Then again lady mary jane has had a few people adulterate her since the dawn of time, do you remember when we use to add nutmeg to our spliff

Let me see if I get this right, people are using solvent to add flavore back into their product? Unless this is disclosed on the product at time of sale this feels wrong on many levels and a good example of why I don't smoke anything I don't make...fortunately my oil is naturally tasty so I don't need to pull some crazy shit like that

Importance of Terpenes

"The resinous trichromes of the cannabis plant contain both the cannabinoids as well as the terpenes, which are constantly being replaced as they evaporate from the resin. The resin of high THC cannabis contains approximately 20 percent terpenes, and 50 percent cannabinoids by weight. The essential oil has traditionally been used as a treatment for skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, as a topical antibiotic agent, and to increase circulation. In addition to these topical uses, it is now known that terpenes present in Cannabis do possess neurological effects, altering the production of the neurotransmitters seratonin and dopamine, as well as acting as type 2 cannabinoid receptor agonists. Another significant action when used in combination with cannabinoids is their ability to alter the permeability of both cell membranes and the blood/brain barrier, causing THC and other active cannabinoids to have a faster onset and more thorough absorption. Myrcene and several other terpenes are known to act as mixed agonist/antagonists of cannabinoid receptors, modulating the effects of THC in a similar fashion to CBD (cannabidiol)."
Since this is not my native [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]language I may have misunderstood but it seems that terpenes from cannabis are unique in the way they work with the cannabinoids, please correct me if I am wrong.[/FONT]

What's unique about the terpene's is there "interaction" with the other's. You know how when you take mushrooms you take allot of vitamin C to enhance your body's ability to uptake? well it's the same with terpenes, and yes you could enhance thc's ability to get to you or mess it up bad, but why bother when there are strain's doing it all day by there terpene profiles. Skunk is full of limonene, it's unique production of it may be what makes skunk skunk when it comes to how it effect's people. All we know is when you rip out just thc and give it to people the effects arn't so hot.

A key point to remember, is that the cannabinoids are di-terpenes and Cannabis shares its mono and sesquiterpenes with other plants.

Other key points are that all terpenes are aromatic hydrocarbons and all have their own unique medicinal properties all by themselves. Even the right and left hand versions of the same terpene molecule, have strikingly different odors, tastes, and effects.

Nothing unique about the cannabis mono and sesqui-terpenes, but their balance by strain is, even though the di-terpene cannabinoid balances may be similar.
