Cannabis is a complex mixture of compounds (>500) including cannabinoids, terpenes, terpenoids, non-cannabinoid phenols, nitrogenous compounds, flavonoids, and contaminants such as residual solvents and pesticides. It is the total composition of cannabis that is important in determining its potency and medicinal effectiveness. This “entourage effect” is a synergistic relationship that exists between terpenes, cannabinoids, and potentially other cannabis components. Identification of cannabis components is critical for the “chemical categorization” of different cannabis strains. In this study, a novel analytical approach was utilized for the effective characterization of terpenes in different cannabis strains. The preliminary results of this “terpene fingerprinting” are the basis for larger studies that will comprehensively profile cannabis plants and lead to a shift from cultivar to chemical classification of marijuana.
