Identification and quantification of both isomers of hexahydrocannabinol, (9R)-hexahydrocannabinol and (9S)-hexahydrocannabinol, in three different matrices by mass spectrometry

CONCLUSION: This research contributes analytical insights into differentiating and simultaneously analyzing (9R)-HHC and (9S)-HHC, using widely applicable mass spectrometric methods. The study emphasizes the need for vigilance among toxicologists, as new semisynthetic cannabinoids continue to emerge in Europe, with potential health implications. The findings underscore the importance of reliable analytical methods for monitoring these compounds in forensic and clinical settings.PMID:38342829 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9711
