Event Overview: The focus on THC as a critical quality metric for cannabis producers is entirely predictable in jurisdictions legalizing cannabis around the world. The race to produce the highest THC cannabis flower happened in the legal US states and is currently happening in Canada. There is tremendous pressure to commercialize products with results showing high concentrations of THC which has created a moment of distrust between consumers and producers. In Canada a $500,000,000 class action lawsuit has been filed against top producers and shines a light on the labelling of cannabinoid concentration and the complexity of providing reliable data for cannabis products. As analytical labs navigate this complex problem, what tools do we have to ensure that we are reporting reliable results?

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how reliable analytical results for THC and CBD concentration is critical to ensure consistent product labelling and build industry confidence.
  • Identify tools and strategies that cannabis labs can utilize to overcome the complexity of the cannabis matrix to ensure they are reporting reliable results.
  • Discuss analytical interferences in cannabis and how can we improve the data quality.

Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
