About Lab Effects · Since 2012
The House of Cannabis Derived Terpenes
Lab Effects is the longest-standing terpene company in cannabis. From the foothills of Golden, Colorado, they extract terpenes straight from cannabis varietals, map profiles straight from the flower, True-To-Flower™, with no synthetics and no odorizers.
The Science of Mapping Terpenes™
A lab built on one promise: True-To-Flower™
Lab Effects started in 2012 with a simple conviction: the only way to make a terpene smell like the strain is to map it from the strain itself. While the rest of the market reached for synthetics and odorizers, we went to the flower — and we never left.
Today we hold the largest Cannabis Derived Terpene portfolio in the market: over 55 strain-specific CDTs, botanical blends, canna-botanical hybrids, and fully custom formulas rendered in liquid or powder.
Every profile is built, tested, and verified in-house under cGMP, ISO, and HACCP programs — FDA-registered and ANAB-accredited — so what ships is exactly what we mapped.
We build for the people who build products: extractors, formulators, and brands who need their aroma to be consistent, scalable, and honest. That is the all-natural choice, and it has been our only choice since day one.
Inside the Lab
Our Golden, Colorado facility
Plant profile analysis, new product innovations, custom formulations, product matching, blending, filling, and shipping, all under one roof.
What we stand for
How we work
Mapped, not random
Every non-CDT profile begins by analyzing the terpene profile of the cannabis flower. We reproduce the real terpene fingerprint of a strain rather than approximating or guessing.
Proven in-house
Plant analysis, blending, and filling all happen under our roof, so quality is controlled at every step.
Built to scale
Our process ensures consistency batch-to-batch, so your product is exactly the same every time you order.
