Pro secrets
The secret to unlocking the full potential of Erez lies in temperature control. To preserve its delicate Myrcene terpenes, vaporize at 334°F (168°C) rather than combusting. This triggers the entourage effect, blending its 24% THC with secondary cannabinoids. Highly sedating, this strain is best reserved for late nights or as a bedtime wind-down. Keep snacks nearby, as it is known to stimulate appetite. Beginners should start with a single inhalation due to its fast-acting onset, while seasoned users can appreciate its deep, multi-layered terpene depth.
