Why Terpene Labels Matter More Than Strain Names

Why Terpenes + Cannabinoids Together Matter More Than THC

When it comes to hemp flower, numbers can be deceiving. You might see THCA 30%, but that single figure doesn’t tell the whole story. What really defines your experience — the flavor, the balance, even how long it lasts — comes from how terpenes and cannabinoids work together.

At thisthat, we build every product around this “entourage effect.” That’s the synergy between THCa, CBD, and dozens of aromatic compounds that give each strain its personality.

The Real Reason THC % Isn’t Everything

THCA converts to THC when heated, but the supporting cast matters.
Terpenes like:

• Limonene – bright, citrusy, and mood-lifting
• Myrcene – earthy, relaxing, and smooth
• Caryophyllene – peppery and grounding

...change how THC interacts with your endocannabinoid system. That’s why two flowers with the same potency can feel totally different — one may hit fast and fade quickly, while another delivers a longer, more layered experience.

How This Plays Out in Real Flower

Let’s take a few standouts from our current lineup:

• Super Boof (38.967% THCA) — gassy, cherry-sweet aroma with high limonene and caryophyllene for a strong yet balanced body-melt.
• Jack Herer (29.448% THCA) — classic sativa uplift thanks to terpinolene and pinene.
• Grease Monkey (35.431% THCA) — deep diesel and sweet vanilla from myrcene and humulene.

You can actually see these terpene ratios for yourself — just open the COA (Certificate of Analysis) listed on every product page. It’s how we prove our flower delivers both lab-verified potency and authentic flavor.

Terpene-Rich Alternatives

Not everyone wants to roll up — and that’s where our Live Resin Drippers and Live Rosin Gummies come in.
Both retain the full-spectrum terpene profile of fresh-frozen flower — not stripped-down distillate. It’s a difference you can taste in every pull or bite.

• THCA Live Resin Drippers — ideal for topping bowls or infusing joints.
• Live Rosin Gummies — strain-inspired flavors that stay true to their terp roots.

The Bottom Line

The best hemp experiences come from chemistry, not hype. High THC alone doesn’t guarantee quality — terpenes and minor cannabinoids do the heavy lifting. Next time you shop, check the COA, look past the percentage, and shop for profile.
