Nug #1: Terpenes > THC
“High THC is a sign of quality” is one myth we are deeply passionate about putting to bed. The strongest cannabis products are not the best cannabis products. We all know that’s not true for alcohol, and it’s not true for cannabis...
Why Terpenes Matter More Than THC
Our mission is to elevate the consciousness and knowledge of all New Yorkers. Which is why we’re always happy to share some nugs of knowledge along the way.
“High THC is a sign of quality” is one myth we are deeply passionate about putting to bed. The strongest cannabis products are not the best cannabis products. We all know that’s not true for alcohol, and it’s not true for cannabis.
High THC levels, just like the designations Indica & Sativa, are indicators by which many people typically navigate their buying decisions. However, they don’t help the consumers understand the nuances of the plant’s many benefits.
The most widely used extraction processes strip away most terpene expressions to achieve a high THC percentage. In doing so, they remove the nuance of the product and actually reduce the quality of the product.
It’s the combination of terpenes and THC that truly make the magic happen, and it is the entourage effect (interplay) of the two rather than ‘a sativa, or an indica’ that directs the high. That’s why at MFNY we are just as inspired by the terpenes themselves, and the extra magic that can happen from blending combinations of hybridized plants and genetics.
Whoever you buy from, please always make an informed choice and support all of New York's licensed brands.

Why does it have to be one strain “versus” the other?Can’t all the cannabis plants just get along? At MFNY, we want to elevate all New Yorkers’ cannabis knowledge, so let’s untangle this ancient enigma.
We’ve all heard the term “farm-to-table.” At MFNY we’re “seed-to-shelf” which makes us a uniquely Single Source cannabis operation. That means we actively and exactingly manage and oversee every process from cultivation to processing to distribution at the dispensaries.
Most brands use dissatisfying distillate in their non-flower products (gummies, vape pens, etc.). MFNY is the only NY brand that uses concentrated live rosin and live resin in all of our non-flower products...
Everyone has their ‘go-to’. Perhaps you’ve found that indica, sativa, or hybrid strains work best. Or you’ve tried a bunch of different cultivars and found a specific favorite. In the end, it’s the terpene profiles that inform the effects cannabis has on you (see MFNY Nug #1).
Most pre-rolls have a bad reputation because they’re typically made with the leftover, lower quality flower that they wouldn’t sell in a jar. At MFNY we take a different approach...
