what terpenes are

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give each strain its smell and flavor. The same compounds give citrus, pine, pepper and lavender their scent.

Every Gushy pre-roll page lists its dominant terpenes, in order. This guide explains how each one smells and where else you have met it.

reading the numbers

Product pages list the lead terpenes for each strain. Exact levels are on each product's certificate of analysis, tested with a 3rd party state-licensed lab, and results vary by batch.

Gushy live resin gummies are listed by flavor, not by terpene. See the full line or find a dispensary near you.
