Potency analysis is the screening for cannabinoids. There are over believed to be over 90+ cannabinoids. There are certain cannabinoids which we know their function, other cannabinoids and their impact are unknown to us.
The cannabinoid THC for instance is the compound that gives consumers the “high” feeling associated with marijuana. The Cannabinoid THC-A is the acidic form of THC and when treated to heat decarboxilates THC-A to convert it to THC.
