Hey everyone, Sid here. I’ve been diving back into the science of what makes our favorite plants smell so incredible, and today I’m thinking about limonene. If you’ve ever cracked open a bud and got hit with that bright, sharp blast of lemon and orange peel, you know exactly what I’m talking about. In nature, you find this same exact compound in citrus rinds and juniper.
It’s a super interesting terpene because it’s commonly associated with an elevated mood and stress relief (Source: Russo, E.B. (2011), British Journal of Pharmacology). If you want to seek it out, it's often high in strains like Super Lemon Haze, Wedding Cake, and Do-Si-Dos. What do you think—do you notice a difference when these strains are in your rotation?
