    Compound: d-limonene (common terpene)
    Number of participants: 20
    Number of tests: 9

    I've actually found the opposite for myself, that weed with more citrusy profiles are more prone to giving me anxiety compared to earthier profiles. Exciting to see work that shows a connection between terpenes and subjective effects, even if just a correlation and not establishing any mechanisms yet.

    A friend of mine grows weed in New York (and is active in the trade association) and I’ve gone to his grow and he’s given me the lecture about how the first thing you should think about in the taxonomy of cannabis is the “flavoring” compounds like limonene, not the percentage of THC. On TV I’ve heard people from California dispensaries giving the same lecture.
