Do food grade terpenes contain
pesticides? There is a rumor in the
industry; that you only want to use
cannabis terpenes because cannabis
terpenes don't contain pesticides,
food grade terpenes do, scary. So my name
is Drew, owner MrExtractor.com.
I provide terpenes for millions of
products across the country and I'm here
today to tell you the truth about
whether food grade terpenes contain
pesticides or not, in today's episode:
"Food Grade Terpenes And Pesticides" from The Terpene Institute. So as a terpene
manufacturer I get asked all the time, "Do
food grade terpenes contain pesticides?"
And you need to watch the video on
food grade terpenes so that you
understand the whole realm of that, go
check that out. What people are basically
saying though, because they hear this on
social media;
is that you should only use cannabis
terpenes because cannabis terpenes come
from cannabis, and these food grade
terpenes contain pesticides. And the
truth is, it's nowhere near that, okay? So
i'm gonna set the record straight. It's
probably the opposite of what you think,
and i can explain why very easily. Okay,
what people are talking about with
food grade terpenes, again watch the
other video, are; terpenes that are
extracted from plants that are not the
cannabis plant. And the theory that goes
out there is that; because these are
extracted from other plants, there's wide
pesticide use on this other plant, those
pesticides end up in those terpenes, and
then you're smoking pesticides, okay? So
let's set the record straight. The very-
there's so many different ways to
address this so simply. Now first off,
there are very few products in life that
are so tested by a laboratory that you
couldn't sneak anything through. I can
tell you that almost every single one of
my customers takes their product and it
has to put it into a laboratory by law. Like, that's how it is man. These people
have to test our products. Thousands and
thousands of tests have been done on all
my products. You know how much pesticides come back? None. I'm gonna tell you:
it is statistically impossible that
every single one of those companies were
wrong. And never, it's never happened.
There are much more stringent, quality
controls in the pharmaceutical industry
and the terpene manufacturing sector,
than there is in the cannabis production. Now, on the cannabis side of things, how
many people do you know use pesticides
on cannabis? Be real about it. They all do.
They all use these crazy, non-food grade-
that's an actual term, food grade for
that, food grade pesticides they use. The
cannabis industry has incorrectly used
pesticide for so long, that it's
ineffective. In agriculture you're
supposed to use one pesticide, rotate it
to a different pesticide, because the
insects develop resistances, okay? That's
normal agricultural procedure. In the
cannabis industry, people don't
understand it. They got mites and mildew
and all sorts of shit. They just keep
pounding the same pesticides on these
things and what happened is: the mildew,
and the mites, and the thrips, they get
immune to that pesticide. So then you got
people that are just dumping pesticide
on it, creating these immune strains, and
they're using harsher and harsher
pesticides because they've created
pests that are immune to the normal
pesticides that work for everybody else.
But the real problem is that it's moving
over in the agricultural side. That's a
whole other story.
If anybody's using pesticides
incorrectly, it's the people in the
cannabis industry, because these
agricultural farmers, they know how to do
it correctly. And our products get tested
all the time.
So if you're gonna have a pesticide
issue, I can guarantee it's going to be
coming from people who are sourcing
cannabis material in order to extract
terpenes that are getting it, because
they're so rare, from anybody they can.
Those people are spraying pesticides. Now I'm not saying cannabis terpenes have
pesticides in it, but you really got to
look at the facts here. Like which one do
you think is gonna have more pesticides
in it; your random farmer that's giving
his trim to the terpene maker, who's been
using pesticides on it, or our products
that have been tested thousands and
thousands of times by every
customer we've used, and never had any
pesticides come up. That is a rumor, that
is just easy to dispel. And if it was
true, you would be online and hearing all
these people be like, "Dude I failed my
pesticide because of the terpenes. And
then I went and I took the terpenes in
and I tested them for pesticides, and they're full
of pesticides." It's a simple thing to
explain. It's just not the way it is. So,
feel safe knowing that our terpenes from
MrExtractor.com do not contain any
pesticides. I'm not gonna vouch for
anybody else. I don't know what they're
doing, but ours don't. Now my name is Drew, I own MrExtractor.com.
I make terpene profiles, cannabis terpene
profiles. I take organic terpenes and
blend them all together, recreate the
smell of cannabis, and I do it for a very
small fraction of the price of cannabis
terpenes. I hope that you try our
products out. Just go to MrExtractor.com,
we'll probably send you out something
free if you want to try it. This Terpene Institute, it's not
college-level stuff. This is just making
sure that you get an educated,
common-sense approach to terpenes from a terpene manufacturer. Not interested in
bullshitting people, we're way past that in life. I just don't need to do that anymore. My
goal is to make sure that you can make
an informed decision, whether you buy my
products, or buy someone else's products. This is all common sense. I hope you
enjoyed watching this video and go check
out some of the other Terpene Institute
videos. Get a good knowledge, make some money, help some people. Cash in on the
Green Rush before it's over, you're
watching those prices crash. This is a
way to get in quick and I'll teach you
how to do it, ready? See you in the next video.
