What are the terpenes in cannabis?
Terpenes are what give cannabis its wonderful aroma. “Citrusy,” “fruity,” and “skunky” are all words used to describe the scent of any good bud, and they all rely on terpenes to exist. Those same scent-giving chemicals may also be the reason so many patients find themselves looking for tissues.
Why doesn't allergy add up?

Can you vape medical marijuana?
Medical marijuana may be consumed via a number of administration routes, including vaping. Almost every major cannabis distributor now includes a form of oil-based vapor in their product lines. These oils usually come inside a clear cylinder known as a cartridge. However, since the popularity of vaping cartridges has grown ...
Can you use polyethylene glycol in eye drops?
Although dying in popularity, some companies rely on fillers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) to thin out their cannabis oil. This chemical, which is well known to chemists, is not known to cause irritation and is so safe that it’s often used in eye drops. However, further research has shown that PEG can take on other forms when vaporized, most notably: formaldehyde. (Which is why a lot of cartridge distributors have stopped using PEG.)
ALLERGIES
The first suspect of any sneeze attack is usually allergies and, since it’s estimated that 36 millions Americans suffer from cannabis-related allergies, it’s not far-fetched to believe that a user’s immune system is reacting to the proteins from the plant as disease-causing invaders.

A Final Word
