Terpenes are the same class of compound wherever they come from, but the source matters, both for character and for how a product is treated. MONDAYS makes two lines built on this exact distinction, and understanding it explains why we offer what we offer.

Hemp-derived terpenes

Our hemp line uses terpenes derived from actual cannabis strains, extracted from hemp. This gives the truest, most authentic expression of a strain's profile, the closest a chew can get to the real thing. These products still contain zero THC and zero CBD, verified by DEA-registered lab testing, but because they are hemp-derived, they carry the platform and advertising restrictions that apply to hemp products generally.

Botanical terpenes

Our botanical line captures strain-inspired profiles using terpenes sourced from other plants, with no hemp involved at all. The same terpenes, myrcene, limonene, linalool, and the rest, occur throughout the plant world, so a botanical chew can echo a strain's character while being, legally and practically, simply candy. This is what lets the botanical line go places the hemp line cannot.

Same science, different source

The important thing to understand is that a terpene is a terpene. Limonene from an orange is the same molecule as limonene from a cannabis strain. The difference between our two lines is not the chemistry of the terpenes themselves but where they are sourced and how that sourcing is treated.

Why we make both

The hemp line is for the purist who wants the real, strain-derived article. The botanical line is for anyone who wants the flavor and character with none of the hemp-related friction. Same terpene science, two sources. Explore the compounds behind both in our Terpene Library.

Frequently asked questions

Do either line contain THC or CBD?

No. Both the hemp and botanical lines contain zero THC and zero CBD. The hemp line is verified by DEA-registered lab testing.

Are botanical terpenes lower quality?

No, just different in source. Because a terpene is the same molecule regardless of the plant it comes from, botanical terpenes can faithfully capture a strain's character.

Which line should I choose?

Choose the hemp line for the most authentic, strain-derived profile, or the botanical line if you want the same character in a product with no hemp at all.
