Thujone
Thujone is a monoterpene found in cannabis and various herbal plants, historically associated with sage, wormwood, and juniper. In cannabis, thujone appears in trace amounts in most strains, though certain chemotypes bred from landrace or heritage genetics may express higher levels. The compound is often studied within the broader terpene profile rather than as a primary target in modern breeding, partly due to regulatory scrutiny in some jurisdictions. Lineage records frequently report thujone in strains derived from Central Asian or Mediterranean cannabis populations. Its presence is typically documented through gas chromatography analysis as part of complete terpene profiling.

Breeders working in heritage or landrace preservation programs may monitor thujone levels as a genetic marker of authenticity. Some breeding efforts intentionally select for or away from thujone depending on the desired chemotype profile and regional regulations.
