Fast Onset, Cerebral Peak Inside Ten Minutes

Onset is reported at under two minutes, with a sharp cerebral peak inside ten. Reported uses are a creative breakthrough, a clear-headed sprint and a writing session that needs to hit a deadline.

Terpinolene is listed first, and it is described as contributing cerebral, racy, classic sativa-style head energy. The aroma is sharp lemon and pine sap with light, spicy mint on the exhale. Inhaled duration is 2 to 4 hours.
