Determination of the distribution of cannabinoids in cannabis resin from the Lebanon using HPLC. Part III.
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.
