Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds naturally produced by the cannabis plant that interact with receptors in the human body. Common cannabinoids tested in laboratory analysis include THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), CBD (cannabidiol), CBDA, CBG, CBN, and CBC. Different cannabinoids influence potency, therapeutic effects, and product classification. Cannabinoid profiling is a core component of regulatory compliance testing and provides producers, retailers, and consumers with detailed information about the chemical composition of a product.
