FAQ – Questions about terpenes and high

Terpenes are more than just aromatic compounds—they play a key role in how intense, clear, or relaxing your cannabis high is. In this article, you'll learn exactly how terpenes affect your endocannabinoid system and why products like MANGO+ can take your high to a whole new level.

What are terpenes anyway?

Terpenes are natural compounds found in plants and are responsible for flavor, aroma, and therapeutic effects. Over 100 different terpenes are known in cannabis, including myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool.

They are volatile, oily, and interact directly with our bodies—especially with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This is precisely why two strains with the same THC content often have different potencies—terpenes make the difference.

How terpenes affect the high

Terpenes modulate the effects of cannabinoids like THC and CBD through the so-called entourage effect . This means that terpenes alter how THC is absorbed and processed in the body. Three main mechanisms are responsible for this:

  • Blood-brain barrier permeability: Terpenes such as myrcene increase THC uptake in the brain.
  • Binding to ECS receptors: Some terpenes activate CB1/CB2 receptors indirectly.
  • Neurotransmitter influence: Terpenes regulate serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—and thus your mood.

The result: a stronger, clearer, or more relaxed high – depending on the terpene profile.

Myrcene, Limonene & Co: The most important active ingredients

Here is an overview of the most important terpenes in cannabis and their effects:

  • Myrcene: Increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, makes THC more effective, calming
  • Limonene: Mood-enhancing, anxiety-relieving, energizing
  • Caryophyllene: Interacts directly with CB2 receptors, anti-inflammatory
  • Linalool: Calming, sleep-inducing, ideal for evening use

Depending on the combination, a different high is produced – which is why the terpene profile is just as important as the THC content. And this is precisely where MANGO+ comes in.

Why MANGO+ is particularly effective

MANGO+ is one of the first supplements specifically for cannabis consumers that specifically harnesses the terpene effect. The main active ingredient, mango powder, contains a high concentration of myrcene, combined with:

  • Green tea extract with L-theanine (focus & balance)
  • Vitamins B12, D3, K2 & C (for energy, mood & immune system)
  • Piperine (increases bioavailability)

Many users report a faster, more intense, and clearer high. What's particularly exciting is that MANGO+ takes effect as early as 30 minutes after ingestion, significantly enhancing even small amounts of cannabis.

How to use terpenes for your perfect high

Tips for maximum effect:

  1. Take 1 MANGO+ capsule approximately 30–45 minutes before cannabis consumption.
  2. Drink plenty of water – terpenes require a well-hydrated body.
  3. Choose cannabis strains with a known terpene profile (e.g., myrcene for chill, limonene for power).
  4. Combine with PIEF&SLEEP for regenerative sleep after the high.

By the way: Terpenes also work without THC—for example, they can improve your mood or help you focus in everyday life. But their magic unfolds especially in combination with cannabis.

FAQ – Questions about terpenes and high

Do terpenes really enhance the high?
Yes, numerous studies and reports confirm an intensification – especially through myrcene.

Are terpenes legal?
Yes, they are permitted in food, cosmetics and dietary supplements – no psychoactive effect alone.

Are there any side effects?
Hardly—overdose can cause fatigue or irritability. However, with products like MANGO+, the dosage is safe.

Are there alternatives?
Raw mango, black pepper, and lemon peel also contain terpenes—although they are difficult to dose precisely.

Bottom line: Terpenes are the secret code behind the perfect high. They influence how THC works in the body and open up entirely new dimensions to the consumption experience. With products like MANGO+ , you can help achieve this – legally, effectively, and entirely naturally.
