Terpene edibles are candy and food built around terpenes, the compounds that give a cannabis strain its flavor, aroma, and character, instead of around THC. If you searched for terpene gummies, terpene candy, or terpene chews, this is the category, and it is growing because it solves a problem a lot of people have: they want the strain without the high.

Terpene chews, gummies, and candy: the same idea, different vehicles

A terpene gummy is a gelatin or pectin gummy with terpenes added. A terpene candy is usually a hard candy or a mint. A terpene chew is taffy. The difference matters more than it sounds. Terpenes are volatile: they are the part of the plant you smell, and they leave fast. A hard candy releases them in a burst. A gummy holds them in a firm matrix and gives them up slowly but flatly. Hand-pulled taffy holds a lot of terpene by weight and releases it as you chew, so the profile unfolds the way a strain does when you open the jar, top notes first, then the body. That is why MONDAYS is a chew and not a gummy.

What separates a real one from a flavored one

Most products in this category use a flavor blend: three to six terpenes chosen to suggest a strain. A real strain profile is not three compounds. Pineapple Express as we measure it is 81 compounds; London Pound Cake is 125. The difference between a "Sour Diesel flavored" gummy and Sour Diesel is the eighty compounds the blend leaves out, and it is why blends taste like candy with a hint of weed while a full profile tastes like the strain. Ask any product one question: how many compounds are in the profile, and can I see the list? We publish every one on every product page, with the milligrams per chew.

What is in a MONDAYS chew

• Hand-pulled taffy: sugar, corn syrup, palm oil, citric acid, natural flavors, and the strain's terpene blend
• 20mg of strain-true terpenes per chew on the hemp line
• Zero THC, zero CBD, every batch tested non-detect for every cannabinoid by a DEA-registered lab, reports public
• Two lines: the hemp line carries hemp-derived terpenes and is a labeled dietary supplement; the botanical line uses plant terpenes, contains no hemp, and is candy in all 50 states

What to expect

One chew, dissolved slowly. Most people notice the profile within 15 to 30 minutes, and it tapers off gently over one to two hours. It is a flavor and aroma experience with the ritual attached, and nothing to sleep off. New to terpenes? Start with half a chew.

Do terpene edibles get you high?

No. Terpenes are not intoxicating, and there is no THC in the product. The high in cannabis comes from THC; the flavor and the character come from terpenes. A terpene edible keeps the second and drops the first.

Terpene edibles and drug tests

Drug tests look for THC metabolites. A product with no cannabinoids leaves nothing to find. Our hemp line tests non-detect for every cannabinoid, batch by batch, and the reports are on the lab results page. We cannot guarantee any outcome on any test, but there is nothing in the bag for a test to detect. More in will terpenes fail a drug test.

Are terpene edibles legal?

Terpenes are food-grade flavor compounds used across the food industry. A product with no cannabinoids is candy in the eyes of most law. The botanical line contains no hemp ingredient at all. The hemp line is a terpene product with non-detect cannabinoids; a few states define hemp products by source, so check your state. The November 12, 2026 federal change to hemp law caps THC in finished hemp products at 0.4mg, which MONDAYS already meets with room to spare.

How to choose a terpene edible

1. Ask for the compound count and the list. A named strain should be dozens of compounds, not five.
2. Ask for the lab report, and check that cannabinoids read non-detect, not "under 0.3%."
3. Check milligrams of terpenes per serving. Flavor-level amounts are a few milligrams; a profile is 20.
4. Decide hemp-derived or botanical based on your state and your comfort. Both are zero THC.
5. Pick a vehicle that holds terpenes. Taffy and gummies hold; hard candy bursts.

Frequently asked questions

Are terpene gummies and terpene chews the same thing?

Same category, different vehicle. Gummies hold terpenes in a firm matrix; taffy holds more by weight and releases it as you chew.

How much terpene is in a chew?

20mg per chew on the hemp line, with the full profile listed on every product page.

Can I eat terpene edibles with my own flower?

Many customers do. The terpenes in the chew are the same family of compounds that gives flower its character. We make claims only about what is in our bag.

Which strain should I try first?

The Hemp Variety Box has all six, five chews each. Daytime strains are Pineapple Express and Sour Diesel; evening is LA Confidential.
