By Licked Vapes

At Licked, we’re not here to follow trends — we’re here to lead them. From premium vape juices to edibles that actually do what they say, everything we create is designed with purpose, purity, and performance in mind. That’s why one of the biggest decisions we’ve made in our product development journey is this:

We removed terpenes. Intentionally. And we’re never going back.

If you’re wondering why we did this — especially when so many brands brag about “strain-specific terpene profiles” — keep reading. You’ll not
only understand the science, but also why our products deliver a superior experience that hits harder, tastes cleaner, and works better

🌿🌿What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in plants — including cannabis — that contribute to their smell and flavour. Think of the piney scent of a forest, the citrus burst of a lemon peel, or the diesel tang some weed strains are known for? That’s terpenes.

In cannabis, terpenes were once thought to play a major role in shaping the overall “high,” with some claiming they control effects like relaxation or focus. But the truth? The science on that is unclear at best, and misleading at worst.

🧪🧪The Problem With Terpenes in THC Products

While terpenes occur naturally in cannabis, most products on the market don’t use naturally derived terpenes from the plant they advertise. Instead, they use lab-made terpenes from other sources — pine, fruit, or even industrial solvents — then add them into THC to mimic popular strain flavours. It’s artificial, inconsistent, and often just marketing fluff.

Even worse?

Terpenes can irritate the lungs, throat, and mouth — especially when vaped or smoked.

They can:

• Cause coughing fits or a burning sensation
• Alter the THC effect in unpredictable ways
• Create a bitter, earthy, or overly synthetic taste
• Reduce product shelf life due to volatility

So we thought: why include something that doesn’t enhance performance but can easily ruin the experience?

💎💎The Licked Standard: Pure Delta-9 THC. No Terpenes. All Impact.

Every Licked product is crafted to deliver a clean, focused, high-impact experience. By removing terpenes completely, we’ve created a THC
line that offers:

✅ Maximum purity – no plant matter, no bitterness, no junk
✅ Smooth flavour – no overpowering cannabis taste
✅ Reliable performance – no terpene-induced variances in effects
✅ Lung-friendly vaping – no harshness, no burn
✅ A product that can be flavoured right – letting our award-winning blends shine

Instead of covering raw THC with earthy terps, we focus on ultra-pure distillate and combine it with bold, custom-crafted flavours that don’t taste like soil or socks.

🔬🔬But Don’t Terpenes Help With the “Entourage Effect”?

Let’s clear this up.
The entourage effect — where cannabinoids and terpenes allegedly work together to shape your high — is still under scientific debate. In fact, a growing number of researchers argue that the effect is more hype than proof, especially in products that don’t include the full spectrum of cannabinoids and raw plant compounds.

At Licked, we’ve tested side-by-side:
Terpene-filled oils vs. clean, terpene-free Delta-9 distillate.
The result? Every time, users prefer smoother, clearer, more potent highs without the harsh terp profile.

⚠Final Thought: It’s Not About the Hype — It’s About the High.

You don’t need a strain name on the box or a terpene breakdown you can’t taste.
You need something that works. Clean. Potent. Consistent.
That’s what we do. That’s Licked.

So next time you see a product loaded with “strain-specific terpenes,” ask yourself — is it flavour, or is it filler?
Then try Licked, and taste the difference for yourself.
