CBN and D9-THC concentration ratio as an indicator of the age of stored marijuana samples*
@inproceedings{Ross1997CBNAD, title={CBN and D9-THC concentration ratio as an indicator of the age of stored marijuana samples*}, author={Samir A. Ross and Mahmoud A. Elsohly}, year={1997} }
The concentration of D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN) in cannabis plant material (marijuana) of different varieties stored at room temperature (20-22o Celsius (C)) over a four-year period was determined. The percentage loss of THC was proportional to the storage time. On average, the concentration of THC in the plant material decreased by 16.6% ±7.4 of its original value after one year and 26.8% ±7.3, 34.5% ±7.6 and 41.4% ±6.5 after two, three and four years, respectively.
