Ever wonder why some cannabis strains smell like citrus, pine, or even fresh-baked cookies? That’s terpenes doing their thing!
Beyond just aroma, terpenes can influence how a strain makes you feel—relaxed, energized, creative, or balanced. But not all terpenes come straight from cannabis. Some are cannabis-derived terpenes (CDTs), and others are botanically-derived terpenes (BDTs).
When it comes to CDT vs. BDT, the differences can completely change your cannabis experience. Let’s break it down.
What Are CDTs? The Real Cannabis Essence
CDTs are terpenes extracted directly from cannabis plants. Unlike isolated terpenes, CDTs capture the plant’s full personality—aroma, taste, and even subtle effects.
Think of cannabis-derived terps like the original pressing of your favorite vinyl record—rich, layered, and true to the artist’s intent. Beyond just smell-good molecules, CDTs contain extra compounds (like flavonoids) that create a full-spectrum experience.
What About BDTs? Same Terpenes, Different Source
BDTs are terpenes sourced from non-cannabis plants like lemons, lavender, and pine. They smell and taste the same as their cannabis-derived twins, but there’s one major difference: they don’t come with cannabis’s natural entourage of effects.
Why CDTs Hit Different (The Entourage Effect)
Ever notice how a strain’s effects feel smoother and more layered than just THC alone? That’s the entourage effect—where cannabinoids (like THC & CBD) and terpenes work together to shape the vibe.
Where CDTs Shine (And Where You’ll Find Them)
- Cartridges & Disposable Vapes: Restores the natural flavors and effects of the original strain. No fake candy flavors here.
- Edibles & Tinctures: Keeps the sthcatrain’s personality intact, so it’s more than just THC in a brownie.
- Candles & Diffusers: Even if you’re not getting high, CDTs bring the real scent of cannabis to your space—minus the psychoactive effects.
