October in Billings is made for cozy gatherings, pumpkin walks, and yes—a playful, non-infused snack board. This guide keeps candy kid-friendly while adults (21+) explore aroma-forward terpenes—no infused foods, just flavor discovery and optional low-dose, adult-only sessions after the trick-or-treat rush.
Build your board with terpene-rich flower and pods at our Dispensary in Billings.
Terpene Primer
- Limonene → citrusy, bright; think lemon peel & candy-shop zest.
- Myrcene → cozy, earthy; like autumn leaves, cloves, and ripe mango.
- Pinene → crisp, piney; forest air, rosemary, and evergreen.
- Caryophyllene → warm spice; black pepper, cinnamon, baking spice.
- Linalool → soft floral; lavender and gentle botanicals.
Tip: Look for terpene information on product labels or COAs. When in doubt, ask our team which batches are currently testing high in the terp you want.
Pairing Ideas (Non-Infused Candy × Aroma Exploration)
Keep the candy board non-infused and out for everyone. Create a separate, adult-only aroma station nearby with clearly labeled, closed jars of flower or terpene-rich pods for smell-only exploration. If you choose to consume, do it after kid activities wrap up, and keep doses light.
- Citrus Gummies × Limonene
Why it works: Bright citrus notes echo lemon/lime candies.
Adult-only option: One light inhale from a limonene-forward pod, then pause 10–15 minutes. - Spiced Dark Chocolate × Caryophyllene
Why it works: Cinnamon/pepper spice complements caryophyllene’s bakery-spice vibe.
Adult-only option: A single, small puff at low temp to preserve spice aromatics. - Peanut Butter Cups × Myrcene
Why it works: Myrcene’s earthy sweetness cozies up to nutty chocolate.
Adult-only option: A single micro-puff; then switch to herbal tea and board games. - Candy Corn × Pinene
Why it works: Sweet vanilla notes feel fresher next to pine/rosemary brightness.
Adult-only option: Smell-only is great here—pinene’s aroma pops on its own. - Berry Chews × Linalool
Why it works: Floral linalool plays nicely with berry candies.
Adult-only option: Consider CBD-first or THC-free products with botanical terpenes for a mellow, non-intoxicating pairing. - Caramel Apple Slices × Limonene + Caryophyllene
Why it works: Tart apple meets citrus lift and warm spice—hello, fall.
Dose-light guidance: If you choose to consume, many adults keep it to one micro-puff or 1–2.5 mg THC (if using a separate, labeled edible later in the evening). Wait, assess, and skip seconds if you plan to drive at any point (better: don’t drive at all).
How to Set Up Your Board (Step-by-Step)
- Two-zone plan:
- Zone A: A big non-infused candy & snack board (house rules: all ages).
- Zone B: A 21+ aroma station—sealed jars/pods, tasting notes, and your pairing card (below).
- Zone A: A big non-infused candy & snack board (house rules: all ages).
- Label clearly: “Non-infused—All Ages” vs. “Adults 21+—No Sharing.”
- Keep it tidy: Small tongs for candy; closed containers for any cannabis products.
- Low-temp wins: If adults sample a pod, use low temperatures to keep terpenes aromatic.
- Hydrate & pace: Sparkling water, cider, or herbal tea between tastes. No alcohol mixing.
