"Identification of Cannabis sativa L. (hemp) retailers by means of multivariate analysis of cannabinoids"

In this work, the concentration of nine cannabinoids—six neutral cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN, and CBDV) and three acidic cannabinoids (THCA, CBGA, and CBDA)—was used to identify the Italian retailers of Cannabis sativa L. (hemp), reinforcing the idea that the practice of categorizing hemp samples only using THC and CBD is inadequate. A high-performance liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for screening and simultaneously analyzing the nine cannabinoids in 161 hemp samples sold by four retailers located in different Italian cities. The hemp samples dataset was analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis, with the aim to identify the associated hemp retailers without using any other information on the hemp samples such as Cannabis strains, seeds, soil and cultivation characteristics, geographical origin, product storage, etc. The univariate analysis highlighted that the hemp samples could not be differentiated by using any of the nine cannabinoids analyzed.
