Find the Perfect Combination of Terpenes in Cannabis Thanks to This Portable Laboratory

Marijuana has a characteristic smell and taste, both of which remain with one for a few minutes, even after some time has passed since one’s last cigarette. Its sweet, intense aroma is due to what are known as terpenes, which are volatile organic compounds that exist in their dozens, ranging from alpha-pinene to linalool, not to mention myrcene and limonene.

If these compounds did not exist, cannabis would be very insipid, as neither THC nor other cannabinoids are noted for taste or smell. The properties of terpenes, however, go beyond their aroma. Thus, knowing how to combine them will be of help whenever cannabis is needed for medical use or for generating, for instance, a feeling of euphoria. As it is not possible for anyone to naturally and accurately determine the amount of each terpene present, a tool will be needed for the purpose, namely MyDx. This is a portable laboratory that allows one to obtain a strain’s total chemical profile without having to go to a specialised centre.

This device has been designed to perform a thorough analysis of various cannabinoids and the 22 most common terpenes in plants, so that each user may be duly informed about their 'ingredients' and thus use them for either medical or recreational purposes. Knowing the perfect combination will help one to decide what herb to consume.

Thanks to MyDx, one will no longer have to rely on other users’ assessments or try out various types of cannabis until finding the right one for each use. Now, it just takes this one analyser for a user to make the most of this plant. According to Daniel Yazbeck, CEO of the company, "the data and insight provided by MyDx can fuel a new generation of healthy cannabis consumption."

The most recent research has revealed that these elements have a significant influence on both body and mind, although the manner in which they do so depends on the type of terpene and the amount of cannabinoids in the strain (the 'environment effect', as it is known). According to professionals, it is this characteristic which distinguishes one marijuana type from another and leads to its having certain results rather than others. Thus, with MyDx one can control any strain that passes through one’s hands.
