Buddies – Marionberry Kush Distillate 1g

Cannabis-derived terpenes (CDT) are extracted directly from cannabis or hemp plants and contain the exact same aromatic compounds found in the cannabis strain they came from — including not just the primary terpenes like myrcene and limonene, but also the trace and minor terpenes that together create the complete aromatic fingerprint of a specific cultivar. Botanical terpenes, by contrast, are sourced from non-cannabis plants (lemon for limonene, black pepper for caryophyllene, etc.) and then blended to approximate a cannabis strain's profile. The difference in practice is that CDT cartridges taste more genuinely like the cannabis strain they represent — with the complexity and depth that single-source cannabis terpene extraction preserves — while botanical terpene blends often taste flatter or generic compared to the real thing. Buddies' patented CDT reintroduction process is specifically designed to capture and restore this authentic strain character.

Marionberry Kush is a hybrid strain bred by Heroes of the Farm, named after the marionberry — a cultivar of blackberry developed at Oregon State University and now associated with the Pacific Northwest. The strain is a cross of Raspberry Kush and Space Queen, both of which contribute fruit-forward sweetness: Raspberry Kush with its sweet berry body and indica relaxation, Space Queen with its complex sweet fruit and sativa-influenced cerebral component. The flavour profile of Marionberry Kush is sweet berry — reminiscent of the dark berries it is named for — with earthy kush undertones and a slightly sour fruity finish. In the Buddies CDT cartridge, this profile is preserved through cannabis-derived terpenes rather than synthetic berry flavouring, which means the berry character reads as genuine fruit rather than candy-like artificiality.

Store the Buddies Marionberry Kush Distillate cartridge upright and at room temperature — avoid heat above 25°C (77°F) and direct sunlight, both of which can cause the distillate oil to thin and leak around the mouthpiece seal. The 510-thread design is compatible with standard variable-voltage vape batteries; starting at a lower voltage setting (around 2.4 to 3.0V) will preserve more of the CDT terpene character and produce a smoother, more flavourful draw, while higher voltage settings produce larger vapour clouds but may burn off some of the volatile terpene aromatics. Allow the cartridge to warm for a moment before drawing if stored cold, as distillate can become more viscous at cooler temperatures and may produce a restricted draw directly from refrigerator temperature.
