NCIA 2019 Cannabis Business Summit

Chemotaxonomy as a Basis for Labeling Cannabis (Room Elevation Lounge (Booth #1642))

24 Jul 19
11:30 AM - 11:50 AM

Tracks: Exhibit Hall

Chemotaxonomy is poised to have a major impact on how cannabis is categorized and understood - by both the scientific community and the general public. With a brief review on the historical basis for cannabis taxonomy we will set the stage for a detailed review of cannabis chemotypes and the various models of chemotaxonomy proposed in the scientific literature. We will close with a discussion on what key attributes must be achieved in a cannabis labeling system to convey complex phytochemical and chemotaxonomic information in a simple to understand retail level product label.
