Newest firstForensic science is a multidisciplinary field that plays a vital role in society by supporting criminal investigations and providing scientific evidence for judicial proceedings. Within this context, organic chemistry contributes fundamentally by enabling the structural elucidation of seized drugs and their intermediates, the synthesis of analytical reference standards for doping control, allied with a deeper unde…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis recreational and/or medicinal use has been legalized in the past years in many states and countries. As a consequence, many Cannabis growers and product developers have emerged in a new market throughout the world; at the same time, issues regarding questionable quality control have also risen, as several reports on Cannabis users' health-related problems caused by inaccurate labeling content in Cannabis-…
Open article record in new tab ↗The detection of cannabis and cannabis-related products is a critical task for forensic laboratories and law enforcement agencies, given their harmful effects. Forensic laboratories analyze large quantities of plant material annually to identify genuine cannabis and its illicit substitutes. Ensuring accurate identification is essential for supporting judicial proceedings and combating drug-related crimes. The nake…
To investigate effects of smoking cannabidiol (CBD)-rich marijuana on driving ability and determine free CBD and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations in capillary blood samples, a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-way crossover pilot study was conducted with 33 participants. Participants smoked a joint containing 500 mg of tobacco and either 500 mg of CBD-rich marijuana (16.6% total CBD; 0.…
Open article record in new tab ↗AbstractHallucinogenic mushroom is a kind of toxic strain containing psychoactive tryptamine substances such as psilocybin, psilocin and ibotenic acid, etc. The mushrooms containing hallucinogenic components are various, widely distributed and lack of standard to define, which made a great challenge to identification. Traditional identification methods, such as morphology and toxicology analysis, showed shortcomin…
In this work, the concentration of nine cannabinoids, six neutral cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN and CBDV) and three acidic cannabinoids (THCA CBGA and CBDA), was used to identify the Italian retailers of Cannabis sativa L. (hemp), reinforcing the idea that the practice of categorizing hemp samples only using THC and CBD is inadequate. A high-performance liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectromet…
According to current surveys and overdoses data, there is a drug crisis in the USA. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is an evolving discipline that analyses wastewater samples to detect drugs and metabolites to estimate drug consumption in a certain community. This study demonstrates how drug relative presence could be tracked by testing wastewater, providing real-time results, in different boroughs in New York…
