Quantifying THC fundamental to cannabis oversight

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), overseen by the Commerce Department and housed at SUNY – Albany, published an analysis of smokable floral hemp and found that 93 percent of the 53 flower samples exceeded 0.3 percent THC.

“Over 90% of the samples analyzed by NIST were determined to have a total delta-9-THC mass fraction above 0.3 % even though samples were being marketed as hemp,” says the report, published in March in the Journal of Forensic Chemistry. “Surprisingly, often the associated online documentation reported total ?9-THC mass fractions of =0.3 %.”
