Cannabinoid compounds exhibit very similar chemical structures differing on how the rings are cyclized from the parent structure (cannabigerol). This makes them difficult to analyze and distinguish from one another. For this reason, we developed a method based on liquid chromatography coupled to time-of-flight analysis for their accurate determination. An...
