Limonene

Limonene is a citrus-scented terpene found prominently in cannabis as well as in lemon and orange peels. It is associated with elevated mood and stress relief in anecdotal reports. Strains expressing prominent limonene (Wedding Cake, Lemon Haze, Super Lemon Haze) typically lead with bright, lemony nose and sweet exhale.

Example: Limonene-forward strains are my go-to for a daytime mood lift.

Etymology: From the Latin 'limon' (lemon), where the compound was first isolated.
