●○○○
PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
△
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
