The impact of extraction protocol on the chemical profile of cannabis extracts from a single cultivar

Abstract The last two decades have seen a dramatic shift in cannabis legislation around the world. Cannabis products are now widely available and commercial production and use of phytocannabinoid products is rapidly growing. However, this growth is outpacing the research needed to elucidate the ther...
