The Science of Chill

The Terpene Truth: Why Percentages Are the Secret to Your Perfect High

Stop guessing and start knowing. Discover why legal transparency is the only way to truly master your cannabis experience.

FOR ADULTS 21+ IN CALIFORNIA & OREGON ONLY

Beyond THC: The Aromatic Revolution

For decades, the conversation around cannabis was dominated by a single number: THC percentage. But as California’s legal market has matured, we’ve learned that THC is just the engine—terpenes are the driver. These aromatic compounds determine whether a strain makes you feel creative, relaxed, or ready for a deep sleep.

However, there is a catch. You can’t see terpenes with the naked eye, and you certainly can’t trust a handwritten label on a plastic bag. True terpene transparency requires rigorous laboratory testing and a legal paper trail that only regulated dispensaries can provide.

Every Chill Bud product is backed by a verified Certificate of Analysis (COA).

Terpene FAQ

Everything you need to know about lab-tested transparency.

What is a COA and why should I care?
+
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document from an accredited lab that confirms a product meets safety standards and lists its cannabinoid and terpene content. It is your only guarantee of quality.
Is a higher terpene percentage always better?
+
Not necessarily. While higher percentages often mean more flavor and potency, the *balance* of terpenes is what matters most for the specific effect you are seeking.
Why don’t unregulated sellers provide this info?
+
Lab testing is expensive and requires strict compliance. Unregulated sellers often lack the infrastructure or the desire to prove their product’s safety and potency.
