Limonene

A cannabis terpene with a bright, citrusy aroma — lemon, orange, lime. Found in citrus peel, juniper, and peppermint. Associated with mood elevation, uplifting effects, and anxiety reduction. One of the most recognisable cannabis terpenes by smell and among the better-studied. In cooking, limonene-dominant strains produce bright, citrusy infusions that complement lemon desserts, summer cocktails, and light preparations.
