Pro secrets
The secret to unlocking the full potential of Skunk #1 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 17% THC with secondary cannabinoids. It offers a balanced transition, making it great for social afternoons, hiking, or relaxing after work. Beginners should start with a single inhalation due to its fast-acting onset, while seasoned users can appreciate its deep, multi-layered terpene depth.

First time trying Skunk #1. Flavor is on point; start low if you're sensitive to THC. Great for evening sessions.
