title: Determination of the distribution of cannabinoids in cannabis resin from the Lebanon using HPLC. Part III.
abstract: Samples taken from 61 slabs of cannabis resin originating in The Lebanon were examined by high performance liquid chromatography. The slabs were derived from seizures of cannabis resin made over a three-year period. From a study of 14 of these samples, taken from bags which bore a number of identical stamp marks, it was shown that there was a correlation between the cannabinoid distribution and the marks. The remaining 47 samples of cannabis resin, all of which were from bags with different marks, were each found to have a unique cannabinoid distribution. Such an examination can therefore be used to aid investigations where evidence of a common origin is sought.
