Analysis of Cannabinoid Profile in the Vapor Deposited from Vape Atomizer
註釋Cannabinoids are naturally occurring organic compounds that have grown in popularity over the past few years. CBD and THC has gained heightened attention because of the positive benefits they give PTSD patients in coping with harmful memories along with anti-seizure characteristics caused by inhibition of NRMDA. One popular method for CBD administration has been the use of vapes which have recently lead to harmful illnesses of the lung and desensitization of the tongue. The purpose of this experiment was to design a method used for determining the profile of cannabinoids in vape juices after simulated smoking. CBD vape juices were smoked in a simulated process at different temperature and power settings to create volatile compounds whose concentration and percent by mass would be determined by HPLC. The hypothesis was that the concentration of cannabinoids would increase proportionally with temperature. It was concluded that this designed method was effective for measuring the post simulated smoking concentration of cannabinoids. Results showed that on average, CBD concentration when vaporized at 300oF (2.5 ppm) was lower than the concentration at 600 oF (25 ppm). Future studies could use this method to analyze how compounds could be altered into harmful substances by different vape settings. -- Abstract
