Live resin is known for its high terpene concentrations. A great alternative that also maintains a high terpene count is high terpene full spectrum extracts (HTFSE) and terp sauces.

These weed extracts are typically stronger than live resin but do not have as much of the original flavoring and smell. For ingesting alternatives, weed edibles or THC oils are great choices.

Or for those not wanting to get high, CBD products are the way to go.  Or for a more psychedelic experience, magic mushrooms are worth a try.
