Myrcene 101: The Terpene Behind Cannabis’s Earthy Aroma
Walk into any New Mexico dispensary and you’ll notice flower doesn’t all smell the same — some jars lean citrusy, others piney, and a lot of them carry a deep, musky, almost mango-like earthiness. That last note is usually myrcene at work, and it’s typically the most abundant terpene found in cannabis. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds plants produce to attract pollinators and ward off pests, and cannabis makes dozens of them in the same trichomes that produce THC and CBD. Myrcene itself isn’t unique to cannabis — it’s also found in mangoes, hops, lemongrass, and thyme, which is part…
Live Resin Spotlight: Saint Limón, From Our Grow to the Jar
- Dispensaries
- Lab
Concentrates don’t always get the spotlight the way flower or gummies do, but this week one wax stood out across our dispensary menus: OE Live Resin Saint Limón, a hydroponically grown, indica-leaning hybrid that’s been a customer favorite at High Desert Relief. Saint Limón is a cross of Lemon Tree and Lemon Cherry Gelato, landing at roughly 60% indica, 40% sativa. It’s grown right here in New Mexico in our own indoor hydroponic facility, then processed into live resin in-house under our Outlaw Extracts brand. Live resin is made from flower that’s frozen shortly after harvest rather than dried and…

🧊✨ Ever wondered what THCA Diamonds actually are? 💎🌿 They’re one of the purest cannabis concentrates you can find—made up of THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), the natural, non-intoxicating form of THC found in raw cannabis. So…how do they become those beautiful crystal “diamonds”? 🤔 🔬 It starts with extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant. ⏳ The extract is then carefully stored under controlled conditions, allowing the THCA to slowly separate and crystallize over time. 💎 As the crystals grow, they’re separated from the terpene-rich liquid (often called “sauce”), creating the sparkling diamonds cannabis enthusiasts know and love. 🔥 Here’s…
