Common THCA Strains

These strains are frequently associated with high Ocimene concentrations:

Entourage Effect

◈Works with limonene for mood elevation; low boiling point means it volatilizes at lower vape temps

The entourage effect refers to the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids, terpenes, and other phytochemicals in the cannabis plant. Whole-plant extracts and full-spectrum products preserve this synergy; isolated distillates do not.

Vaporization Temperature

Ocimene vaporizes at 100°C (212°F). To preserve this terpene when vaping, keep your device below this temperature.
