Combined ambient ionization mass spectrometric and chemometric approach for the differentiation of hemp and marijuana varieties of Cannabis sativa
In this 2023 article published in the journal Journal of Cannabis Research, Chambers et al. of State University of New York present an analytical method for "the analysis and differentiation of C. sativa plant materials" that, on paper, represent a major boost over more traditional chromatographic methods. After providing some background on those traditional types of analyses, the authors then present their method of using direct analysis in real time high-resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS) with advanced chemometrics, including results associated with use of their method in a controlled laboratory environment. After some discussion, the authors conclude that their developed method "was successfully used to create a prediction model that facilitated rapid high-accuracy differentiation of C. sativa hemp and marijuana plant materials obtained from multiple sources (i.e., commercial, DEA-registered, recreational)," while also noting that "100% accuracy in prediction was observed," making it an important potential future method "for the optimal differentiation of hemp and marijuana."
