Toward a Cannabis Terroir: Untargeted Metabolomic Profiling of Authentic Samples Using Gas Chromatography–High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry (GC‐HRMS) and Liquid Chromatography–High‐Resolution Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC‐HRMS/MS)

Abstract Cannabis sativa L. constituents, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other secondary metabolites, determine the plant’s (medicinal) effects and properties in a complex interplay, a phenomenon known as the entourage effect. However, environmental influences like cultivation method, soil, light, and climate might also influence the plant’s chemical composition—and thus its therapeutic profile. Much like in viticulture, the concept of a “cannabis terroir” might play an important role in determining the plant’s chemical phenotype. The aim of this study was
