Chemical composition and potential activity of Argentine marihuana

Abstract
The occurrence and amount of Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol and cannabinol in Argentine marihuana have been investigated, and its potential activity assessed. The analytical method was applied to thirteen different samples obtained from the Argentine Police or from domestic cultivations of Cannabis sativa L. The Δ1-tetrahydrocannabinol content including decarboxylated precursors ranged from 0.1 to 8.3 g per 100 g of the dried drug according to the source.
