## What is Terpenology?

The label tells you THC. Terpenology tells you the rest.

Terpenology is a patient-literacy companion for medical cannabis cardholders. Scan the lab panel on your product, or search a strain by name, and see the terpenes that are actually in your medicine, what they tend to do, and how well that chemistry lines up with what you're managing.

This is education, not a dispensary. We don't sell cannabis and we don't take orders. We help you understand what you already have, and remember it for you, so you and your care team can make more informed choices.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

-Read it your way: Medical mode gives you the whole story, the Fit score, the why, and a place to log it. Personal mode strips it to a single clean headline card, just the read and the ring. Switch anytime in your profile.

-Scan your label or search by name for a clear terpene breakdown, measured, not guessed.

-Get an honest Fit score that shows how confident it is, and why, based on the terpenes on your label.

-Compare two products side by side and see which one better matches your goal for the moment.

-Explore Strains Like Me: other profiles whose chemistry lines up with the ones you already trust.

-Ask Aria, Kira, or Jeff, three companions who read your whole profile and answer in plain language.

-Keep a private Ledger of what you tried and how it felt, and watch real patterns emerge from your own data.

-Bring your care team the proof: export a clear, private summary of your own patterns to share with your pharmacist or doctor.

-Learn the science in the Field Guide: one illustrated page per terpene, with a molecule you can spin.

HONEST BY DESIGN

Terpene effects are tendencies, not promises. We cite research when it exists, hedge when it's early, and never claim a strain treats or cures anything. We'll even flag it when the numbers on a label don't add up. The most useful thing we can do is help you learn your own body. Always talk to your pharmacist or physician about your care.

BUILT FOR PATIENTS

For patients who are out of patience. Large, legible type, high contrast, calm design, and no gimmicks. No streaks, no badges, no upsell. Self-knowledge is the reward.

Terpenology is an educational tool for registered medical cannabis patients. It does not provide medical advice, sell cannabis, or facilitate its purchase or delivery.

### 5/5 — I wish I had this existed sooner!

*2026-08-27*

I got my med card when I moved to Colorado more than ten years ago to help treat chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia. I spent years trying to figure out what works for me through trial and error and I only wish this app existed sooner! Comprehensive and easy to use to make recommendations whether you’re looking to wind down for the evening or treat a chronic health condition. 10/10 recommend!

### 5/5 — Best app!

*2026-08-14*

I love Terpenology! I’m always a little nervous about how different strains might affect my anxiety, and this app feels like having a “companion” that helps me understand whether something might be a good fit for me in language that actually makes sense. And it works!

I especially love the pairings and being able to journal how something lands for me one day versus the next. It’s helping me understand my own patterns and how I respond to different strains and terpene profiles. Instead of guessing, I feel like I’m learning what actually works for me. Terpenology really does help you medicate smarter, not harder. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Easy to use, helpful, personalized info

*2026-08-09*

The app makes it easy to understand what terpines tend to do, and easily scans labels to give helpful info. I also like how personalized the data is.

### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful!

*2026-08-09*

As someone that has been looking for the right strain for years that reacts well for me, this app is incredible!

### 5/5 — HIGHLY. HIGHLY. HIGHLY. RECOMMEND.

*2026-08-09*

Absolutely love this app. Terpenology is one of those apps you didnt realize you needed until you start using it and then your like wait… how did I not have this before?? 

Super easy to navigate, really informative without making everything feel like I need a PhD in weed lol. I’ve actually learned a ton and love being able to understand the different terpenes and what I’m actually looking for instead of basically just guessing.

Clean, simple, easy and actually useful. Seriously great job with this app.

HIGHLY. HIGHLY. HIGHLY. RECOMMEND.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-28

A warmer first five minutes. A quick look at how your Fit Score works so the number makes sense from the start, a gentler setup you can skip and finish later, and a clearer way to tell us what you're managing day to day. Condition pages now reflect your own state. Plus polish and fixes across the first run. As always, honest about what the research shows and what it doesn't.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-26

A small fix this time. If you sign in with Apple using Hide My Email, your Terpenology+ access now connects to your account cleanly, so what you paid for is always there when you come back. Thanks for reading with us.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-25

New in this version:

Scan the QR code on a lab certificate and Terpenology pulls the exact terpene and cannabinoid percentages for your batch in seconds, no typing.

Sign in with Apple. One tap to save your strains, ratings, and notes across every device. No password, ever.

No product in hand? Start with a strain you already know and get a real read on the spot.

A smoother first run, clearer guidance, and a handful of fixes and refinements throughout.

As always: honest reads, the evidence behind them, and never a number we can't stand behind.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-21

Now there are two ways to read your chemistry.

Medical mode gives you the whole story: the Fit score, the why behind it, and a place to log how the session went. Personal mode strips it to a single clean card, just the read and the ring, for when you want the headline and nothing else. Set your mode in Profile and switch anytime.

We also made your work easier to keep. Setting up now saves your profile to your account, no password ever, so your journal, strains, and favorites follow you to any device. And if you already have an account, restoring it brings everything back in one step.

Plus a round of polish and fixes across onboarding, restore, and the profile screen.

Medicate Smarter, Not Harder™

### 1.2 — 2026-08-17

Terpenology now works in every legal cannabis state, not just Pennsylvania. Set your state in your profile and see whether your conditions qualify where you are.

Paste a dispensary link or a copied product name straight into search and we'll pull up the strain for you, no retyping.

Two new conditions to explore: ADHD and Autism, with the same honest, research-first framing as everything else, including what the evidence does not yet support.

A new By Condition guide that walks you through what tends to help, what to keep in mind, and where things stand where you live.

Plus a cleaner Chemistry view, a History-first My Strains, and a round of speed and polish throughout.
