Jason Lupoi from Terpenes and Testing Magazine is back on the podcast to talk about his new upcoming book on terpenes, and the wide variety of functions they serve in nature. Jason begins by talking about how terpenes are used in nature, and what role they play in plant survival, communication, and more. He talks about the wide variety of terpenes that we encounter every day, and also shares a story on how his views of things like aromatherapy have changed after doing hours upon hours of research on terpenes. Jason then goes on to discuss several prevalent cannabis terpenes, and does a deep dive into each of their effects. Tune in to hear him extrapolate on the science behind terpenes like alpha pinene, myrcene, linalool, limonene and more. The conversation then turns towards the many human applications of terpenes, and the possibility of using terpenes to fight pests. This sparks a brief conversation about the La Croix lawsuit, and what Jason thinks of the battle of semantics. Visit terpenesandtesting.com to find out more about Jason and his work!
