Thujone
Thujone is a bicyclic monoterpene found in trace quantities in cannabis, though it occurs in higher concentrations in sage, wormwood, and other aromatic plants. In cannabis breeding contexts, thujone is typically present in very minor amounts and is not a primary selection target for most cultivars. The compound has historical significance in herbal medicine traditions, though cannabis genetics research focuses primarily on more abundant terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and pinene. Thujone's presence in cannabis remains largely understudied compared to dominant terpene profiles, and breeders working with heritage or landrace genetics occasionally note its minor contributions to overall aroma complexity.

Thujone is not a major breeding focus in modern cannabis programs. Its trace presence may emerge in certain landrace or heritage lineages where minor terpene profiles haven't been selectively modified.
