California State Compliance Information
Key Regulatory Information:
- Terpenes Definition: See Section ppp for the definition of terpenes: “Terpenes” is defined to mean “terpenes, terpenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, and other naturally occurring phytochemicals and secondary metabolites contributing to the aroma or flavor of cannabis.”
- Inhalable Products: Refer to Section 17303.1.
Flavoring Regulations: Under the Adult Use Cannabis Program by the DCC, only flavorings and terpenes that contribute to the natural flavor or aroma of cannabis are permitted. This includes cannabis-derived terpenes and those consistent with naturally occurring cannabis terpenes. For clarification, the DCC has directed that terpenes do not need to be cannabis derived but they must be consistent with the terpenes that naturally exist in cannabis if they are to be added.
What is Prohibited: Artificial or synthetic terpenes are not permitted. Flavors that would be prohibited within the DCC’s Regulation and interpretation would include, but are not limited to, menthol, mint, mango, strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon, pineapple, vanilla, coconut, licorice, cocoa, chocolate, cherry, coffee, popcorn, and bubblegum.
The Benefit of TBF: Our cannabis sativa L hemp-derived terpene oils are directly extracted from cannabis sativa L plant in a direct oil blend thereby contributing naturally to the native flavor profile of cannabis sativa L – source to source. TBF has and continues to enjoy a open and direct dialogue with the DCC to be a sensible flavor advocate ensuring that all native diverse aromatics of the cannabis plant are protected and preserved.
