A Budtender ’ s Insight
Live Sauce
Illicit Live Sauce – 1g
Effect .” This effect occurs when the full spectrum of cannabinoids , terpenes , and flavonoids are all present and is what patients should aim for when looking for pain relief through edibles . The Cosmic Seed Passion Fruit 2:1 CBD : THC retails at dispensaries for about $ 24 for a whole 100mg ; you can ’ t beat it . Prices can vary . Check for these and other gummy products at a dispensary near you .
Budtending has led me to dive into the science of terpenes and their medicinal benefits . Illicit Gardens recently shared its new Live Sauce THC : 56.18 % | CBD : 0.46 %. Sauces are known for their high levels of terpenes , and Illicit always lists the top three terpenes found in every single batch of products . This sauce is high in myrcene and is bursting with citrus aroma and flavor . If you are looking for a higher THC content but still want the tasty terpenes found in sauce , do as I do and mix Illicit ’ s Raw Crystalline in with its Live Sauce for that perfect cannabinoid ratio . Illicit Live Sauce 1g retails for $ 76.50 at dispensaries . Prices may vary .
