The Analytical Chemistry of Cannabis: Chemistry, Pharmacology, Manufacturing, Use, and Control of Medicinal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Dosage Formulations: Second Edition presents advanced methods in analytical chemistry to address modern issues surrounding cannabis-based products. Since the first edition, the cannabis industry has rapidly expanded its array of recreational and medicinal products. This volume provides crucial methods to support the manufacturing, labeling, and distribution of safe, consistent products with known chemical content and performance. It offers updated information on the chemistry and pharmacology of cannabis and cannabinoids and aims to resolve industry challenges by fostering understanding among scientists, public health officials, and non-scientist stakeholders.

The book is valuable for professionals in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, medicine, and law enforcement, as well as for advanced academic courses in related fields.
