The presence of impurities in delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-8 THC) consumer products has indeed raised concerns. Δ-8 THC is synthesized from cannabidiol (CBD) through a ring closure reaction, often involving harsh conditions. However, this synthesis process can lead to side reactions and the formation of impurities (Ciolino et al., 2021). A recent study using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry (MS) investigated ten Δ-8 THC products, including distillates and vaporizer cartridges. The results revealed that these products contain several impurities in concentrations far beyond what is declared on certificates of analysis. Compounding the issue is apparent inadequate testing of these products by producers and independent laboratories. Since some of the impurities have similar chemical structures to Δ-9 THC, they are identified as Δ-9 THC in many labs as the technique used is not able to separate the impurities from Δ-9 THC. If you’re seeking reliable testing for your Δ-8 THC products, LAO LAB offers ISO/IEC 17025 lab certification of analysis, excellent resolution for Δ-9 THC and other cannabinoids, fast turnaround time, and cost-effective services.

The Path to ECS Balance: A Journey from Overuse to Recovery: In the world of medicinal cannabis, the journey towards healing and balance can sometimes take unexpected turns. My experience is a testament to the complexities of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and the delicate balance required to maintain its optimal function. The story of how I navigated through the pitfalls of overusing THC to discovering the rebalancing powers of CBGa, ultimately leading to the development of a methodology I call "ECS Balance Control," has been read by many. But in my case, the use was medicinal; in some cases, it's recreational, and that causes an ECS imbalance or dysfunction, much like we gain from using THC-laden cannabis oils. It's important to note that many medicinal cannabis patients, such as myself, find a lot of joy in the recreational use of the same plant. After all, it's the same herb that is called medicinal and recreational. How confusing is that? -Mike Robinson, Founder Nanobles Corp. / Global Cannabinoid Research Center (GCRC) From the ResearcherOG.com Blog

"The new monograph Cannabis Flower (Cannabis Flower, monograph 3028) describes in detail the required quality of cannabis flowers for patient use. Among other things, the monograph establishes a maximum accepted deviation of 10% from the declared THC and CBD content on the product label. It also mentions the maximum acceptable levels of heavy metals and how to carry out tests that assure the quality of cannabis flowers in milled or ground forms." #cannabis #drugspolicy

Cannabinoids are a group of naturally occurring chemical compounds found primarily in the Cannabis sativa plant, commonly known as cannabis or hemp. Over 100 cannabinoids have been identified, with the two most well-known being: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC): This is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana use. Cannabidiol (CBD): Unlike THC, CBD does not produce an intoxicating effect and is being studied for its potential therapeutic benefits in various conditions. https://lnkd.in/gQPXBtTz

January is National CBD Month! Cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive molecule derived from cannabis, has been known to help with pain, anxiety and depression. Its first documented use was all the way back in 2737 BC by Chinese Emperor Sheng Nung. Then it took until 1940 for it to be isolated from marijuana. By 1963, its molecular structure was reported and now its potential health benefits have recently helped to broaden the reach of the cannabis industry. A fast-growing segment, the global CBD market size was valued at USD 567.2 million in 2022 and is forecast to reach as much as USD 3.0361 billion. #NationalCBDMonth #CBD #CBDhealth #CannabisResearch

Understanding the Key Differences Between THCA and THC 🌱 Ever wondered what sets THCA apart from THC? They're two important compounds in cannabis, each with unique properties and effects. Recent research highlights that THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-intoxicating precursor to the psychoactive THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This means THCA doesn't cause the "high" associated with cannabis use, making it appealing for various therapeutic applications. At a molecular level, THCA transforms into THC through a process called decarboxylation, typically triggered by heat. Knowing these differences can help consumers and professionals better utilize cannabis to its full potential. Have you explored the benefits of THCA? How do you perceive the therapeutic vs. recreational use of cannabis? Let's discuss! #CannabisScience #THCA #THC #MedicalCannabis #CannabisResearch

Have you heard about the “Entourage Effect” in cannabis? It was first talked about by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam in 1998. Basically, it's the idea that all the different parts of the cannabis plant, like cannabinoids and terpenes, work better together than alone. This teamwork makes each type of cannabis special and can help in different ways. Here's what you need to know: 🔬 Beyond THC and CBD: Cannabis contains over 100 different cannabinoids and aromatic compounds known as terpenes. They work together in a complex synergy. 🌟 Unique Effects: This synergy creates a unique fingerprint for each cannabis strain, resulting in a wide range of effects experienced by users. 💊 Medicinal Benefits: The Entourage Effect is responsible for the diverse therapeutic benefits of cannabis. Different compounds may have anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, or other properties. 🎯 Tailored Treatments: Researchers and cultivators are now using this knowledge to develop strains and products tailored to specific medical conditions or desired effects. 🌿 The Entourage Effect reminds us that there's much more to cannabis than just THC and CBD. It holds the key to personalized, effective cannabis-based therapies. Stay curious! #EntourageEffect #CannabisScience #MedicalCannabis
