Cannadips Terpene Pouches: Pinene (Fresh Wintergreen) - Review. 25 October 2021.

If you've read my website long, you know I'm a big fan of Cannadips CBD Pouches.  Today, we're checking out something a little different from them.  These are CBD-free and THC-free pouches.  I'm dubbing them "Terpene Pouches", because I'm not sure what else to call them.  The description Cannadips gives for these says:  "Cannadips terpene infused pouches are tobacco and nicotine free. They are also THC and CBD free and contain zero cannabinoids. Just pure flavors enhanced with a blast of natural terpenes. Their use will not impact THC or CBD drug tests."  They've recently launched four flavors of these, and today, we're talking about the one containing Pinene, with a Fresh Wintergreen flavor!

What are terpenes?

Before we get into the review, I'll explain this a little.  Terpenes aren't the same thing as cannabinoids.  Terpenes are primarily responsible for the sense of smell of most plants.  Cannabinoids are the chemical compounds in cannabis.  Some terpenes do act on the endocannabinoid system like cannabinoids do, but the body uses and absorbs terpenes differently from cannabinoids.  This one, Fresh Wintergreen, contains the terpene Pinene.  This is how Cannadips describes it:  "Pinene, found in pine needles as well as rosemary, is believed by some to deliver feelings of invigoration and freshness."

Flavor Description:  "Natural pine mixed with smoke and wintergreen fuel. An American classic that gets back to the roots to round out the all-star cast. America was built on Wintergreen and we take great pride in boosting up the Wintergreen experience powered by a secret weapon in pinene."

Can Contents:  Each can weighs in at 8.25g, and has 15 pouches, for a weight of 0.55g per pouch

One thing you'll notice about these products is that they come in a white plastic can, so not the usual black/metal can that Cannadips comes in.  Also, you'll notice the aroma and flavor is much more bold than your regular Cannadips products.  If you've had Cannadips CBD Pouches: Fresh Wintergreen, this one is similar in aroma and flavor, but kicked up a notch.  I'm not usually a wintergreen enthusiast, but I've always been impressed with Cannadips version.  The aroma of this one is a present smell of wintergreen, but with a smooth, underlying tone of mint.  The pouches are the white, semi-dry type.  They're soft in the lip, and come with a mild cooling presence.  In the flavor profile, a smooth, natural, semi-earthy taste of wintergreen comes through.  It's present in nature, and comes with a little cooling, fresh mint in the background.  The flavor lasts about an hour, sometimes a little more.  In terms of any effect from these pouches, I'll talk about that below.

Rating and Final Thoughts

Okay, so in terms of the effect, I don't notice an effect similar to CBD, nor do I notice one similar to nicotine.  I only got a can of each so I could review them, so I'm going to grab some more and test them and try to get a more long term evaluation on the effects.  But, I did find the same aroma, flavor, and longevity effect I get from normal Cannadips without the CBD.  They have the same quality to them, and the same enjoyable nature.  For Fresh Wintergreen, I rated it at 3.95/5.  I usually give a rating for effect, but I didn't give one on this one since these don't contain THC, CBD, Nicotine, or anything of the like.
