The Terpene Trio: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid
Welcome to the amazing world of cannabis terpenes at Nurse Wellness! This blog is your introduction into the smelly aromatic essences which define effects within cannabis. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning, understanding the nuances of terpenes between various strains of cannabis—Sativa, Indica, and hybrid—can influence your choice of cannabis products to a great extent.
Delving into the Essence of Terpenes
What are terpenes? Besides serving to please our senses, these are the aromatic compounds fundamental to the character of cannabis and its therapeutic effect. Terpenes do more than create memorable aromas; they enhance and alter the effects of THC and CBD through the “entourage effect.” This is the intricate dance between cannabinoids and terpenes, the reason each strain of cannabis affords a totally unique experience in suitable therapeutic or recreational needs.
The Energetic World of Sativa Terpenes
Welcome to the invigorating world of Sativa, where energy and creativity can take flight. Main players include:
- Limonene: Think lemon fresh, and this terpene slices through stress, lifting your mood.
- Pinene: Sharpen your focus while you breathe in the freshness of a forest, clearing the fog of THC.
- Strains like Super Lemon Haze and Jack Herer are full of terpenes and are ideal to take during the day when you need a little bit of energy and alertness.
The Soothing Aura of Indica Terpenes
The indica strains are truly all about good taste for the relief of anxiety and relaxation:
- Myrcene: This terpene is similar to the ground after a rain—musky, tranquil, great for sedation, and relaxation.
- Linalool: This is the floral, peaceful one that’s your pal for clearing the head and slipping into restful sleep.
- Treat yourself to strains like Granddaddy Purple and Blueberry and be wrapped in a shroud of tranquility after a taxing day.
The Balanced Symphony of Hybrid Terpenes
Hybrids combine the best of both Sativa and Indica worlds, with an even balance of terpenes:
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and bold; it could go straight to your body’s receptors and relieve inflammation.
- Humulene: Earthy and mild, it complements caryophyllene in the quest to reduce inflammation.
- Look through varieties such as OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies, which provide a balanced effect and are self-adjusting to your liking throughout the day.
Finding the right cannabis strain for you is quite an art, not a science, but there are several steps to help you along the way:
Chase Your Desired Effects: What are you seeking from cannabis? Are you looking to relax, relieve pain, gain mental clarity, or perhaps just experience an emotional lift? Know your desires to guide your strain choices.
Estimate Your Experience Level: Your history of cannabis is what shapes your tolerance. Newbies may gravitate toward more subtle THC and higher CBD strains, while seasoned warriors may be ready to tiptoe into more potent territory. Embark on Trials: Because everyone’s reaction is different, you have to experiment with a few strains to discover personal harmony.

3Chi: Delta 8 THC Distillate Syringe
3Chi: Delta 8 THC Distillate Syringe
Our Delta 8 distillate syringe is a 1ml graduated glass, Luer lock syringe containing the highest quality Delta 8 on the market. It’s 100% hemp-derived and federally legal. Includes a 1/2″, 14 gauge blunt tip for dispensing. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT USED FOR BODILY INJECTION. This pure Delta 8 Distillate Syringe is perfect for making your own edibles, refilling cartridges, or taking dabs.
Delta 8 THC distillate is a highly viscous, clear to medium-amber, translucent oil that will not crystallize. It is so viscous and thick that at low temperatures it behaves almost like a solid. Because of this, you will not be able to push the oil out of the syringe without first heating it or you may end up breaking the glass syringe or the plastic plunger. The concentration of Delta 8 THC will vary depending on the batch but will be at or near 99.5% cannabinoids. Consult your physician before use. This product could cause you to fail a drug test.
Product Details:
- 1ml
- 950mg delta 8
- Psychoactive/Intoxicating: Yes
- Terpenes: No

Dispensing Directions
Use only as directed by your doctor. 5-20mg of Delta 8 THC is typical. Note that Delta 8 THC distillate is extremely stable and will tend to cool quickly into an almost inoperable solid. You should work as quickly as you safely can when working with delta 8 THC. Note, however, that delta 8 THC is not a true solid. It’s a highly viscous oil, which makes it extremely sticky. We recommend wearing gloves when using this syringe. Also keep a proper, food-safe solvent that you are fully capable of handling safely (examples could be ethanol or limonene, depending on your experience) to help with any necessary clean up.
Heating With a Water Bath
Place the Delta 8 syringe in a hot water bath for 5-15 minutes depending on the temperature of the water. Leave the cap on and submerge for the necessary amount of time to fully heat all the oil. Remove the cap and dispense as needed. If you remove the syringe before all the oil is warm you may find it difficult to operate the plunger. DO NOT FORCE THE PLUNGER. Return the oil to the hot water bath for a longer amount of time until the oil flows relatively freely from the syringe if the plunger does not operate as desired.
Heating With A Hairdryer
Remove the cap first and use capable heat resistant gloves to protect your hands from heat. Warm the distillate in the syringe completely before dispensing. Partial warming may not allow the plunger to work properly and could cause the syringe to break upon use if you try forcing the plunger. Note that as you heat the syringe, delta 8 may begin flowing out of the tip you can attempt to pull the delta 8 THC back into the syringe by moving the plunger backward. Otherwise, be ready to collect some of the delta 8 THC while you heat.
Using the Included Needle
You may use the included syringe tip to dispense the oil in items like a vape cartridge. For best results, the delta 8 THC should be completely warm and you should dispense very quickly as it will cool quickly and could clog the syringe if you take too long to dispense the oil from the syringe. Treat the needle as a one-time use item, because it will likely be difficult to clean once the delta 8 cools inside of the syringe.
Storing Your Delta 8 THC Distillate
If you do not use the delta 8 THC all at once, you may store if for future use. For best results, we suggest wiping the dispensing tip of the syringe with ethanol or another solvent you are capable of safely using to remove any bits of delta 8 THC after use. Then re-cap the syringe and store in a cool dark place for future use. A refrigerator is a good option, but note that this may result in longer thawing times for your next use. If you re-cap without cleaning off any extraneous delta 8 THC, it may be hard to get the cap off the next time you use it.
Important Product Notes
Keep at room temperature and upright to prevent leaking. Keep out of sunlight and in a cool, dark place for the longest life of product. Products may go bad or lose their potency if subjected to extreme heat or sunlight for long periods.
