β-Myrcene in high purity for a reasonable price anywhere?

So in an effort to make nice strong edibles with reclaim I've stumbled into the rabbit hole of using terpenes to enhance the potency of existing material. Put shortly and simply certain terpenes can allow our bodies to interact with the THC and the reception sites for them within the body to increase the strength of an edible without adding to the amount of THC in there, they each work in different ways.


So since the THC content in my reclaim is obviously not super high and it's a free byproduct it kinda makes sense to me to put a bit into making it as effective as possible. So in my research the 2 main terpenes that seem to be a good fit to this purpose (and I've seen listed in ingredients of products) would be d-limonene and β-Myrcene. Now limonene is super cheap and easy to find in liquid food grade form, at a quite cheap price.


However sourcing some β-Myrcene has proven to be near impossible so far, perhaps someone out here can help me out? I am under the impression / understanding that yang-lang and lemnongrass essential oils are a high % of β-Myrcene, but essential oils can often be watered down or cut with things to make it last longer in aroma therapy, and even theraputic food grade lemongrass oil I can find is not recommended for consumption as it will induce nausea so that's not ideal. I did find one chem supply shop online that will sell 90%>purity β-Myrcene, but it's $250 for .25Grams and requires constant -20c temperature storage (so shipping is gonna be through the roof on that.)


So the question becomes, does anyone know a source for this that is relatively pure, reasonably priced and suitable for consumption? Is this simply a pipe dream I'm unrealistically chasing, due to cost and application feasibility? I also have a steam juicer so I could potentially obtain a plant that's high content of it and then steam juice and dehydrate to refine / concentrate it.

Thoughts?

"β-Myrcene is found fresh mango fruit, hops, bay leaves, eucalyptus, lemongrass "

I've experimented with eating mango 60-90 minutes before vaping and it felt like it enhanced the high.

Could you use mango juice?

There is a thread here on terpenes as a solvent.

I've tried this with mango juice/smoothies before and I think it was more than a placebo, but it was only slightly effective. I'd say a real mango is better. Also I've heard lemongrass extract has way more myrcene than mangoes.

Why don't you try eating that supplement cannaplex seems cheap enough ?
Also you can check the substance Lupulin which seems to be a hops extract .
I cannot recomend vendor.. just for informational purpose http://www.alternativemind.co.uk/lupulin-humulus-lupulus-10g-p-877.html
wow and just for the laugh a random hit on google xhahxah

Interesting replies and thoughts everyone, I'll look into some of those products in the future.

However for now it seems I'll be skipping this ingredient and perhaps coming back to this in the future by obtaining and extracting some lemongrass or thyme. The other possibility that pops right up to keep in mind for this would be to simply make a fruit and nut bar edible out of mango to get as much in naturally as possible.

Just use the lemongrass oil for aromatherapy. What I do is use my ssv's aroma dish, which is just a dish of wax/paraffin kept warm enough to stay in liquid form. Put a few drops of lemongrass oil in it and the room lights up, from an olfactory standpoint the whole room smells like lemongrass then vape away!

it seems that since the needs of transporting β-Myrcene at -20 contained at all times , it is delicate. eating it fresh from foods and plants(dried) and inhaled that produce this compound naturally is best. get it at the source! fermenting fruits that contain the compound(s) could help with a new expression of the compound when introduced- we ferment our cannabis in curing it so retain the compound in its natural form extracting it/them later fresh from the bud.

Hello, I dont think this is exactly what you wanted but might add to the thread http://www.couchlock.com/product/kannabliss-magnahigh/ this is like an energy shot but it is full of Myrcene, I have heard good things about it, even from daily smokers. It supposed to potentaite a high. Might wanna do a shot then eat your edible.

amazon has 1 oz for $15 from Consolidated Chemical. it doesnt say beta-myrcene. wikipedia says myrcene is produced by plant extraction. same prices for linalool and pinene.

wikipedia says thyme can have up to 40% myrcene so maybe plain thyme herb or a pure essential oil?

Here is another thread discussing Myrcene in mangoes and lemon grass.

www.buy-terpenes.com is a friend of a friend's site. I am going to try them out soon.

So has anyone tried these terps from the link above???

Just saw a Bubbleman video where they try 12 different terpene profiles (strain profiles) and dab them with this stupid-expensive vape that looks cool but probably will be cheaper soon (hopefully). The terps in the video were from http://blueriverextracts.com/terpenes/ but they also look way too expensive to justify buying on an avg. wage unless you are a fanatic and just can't wait
