Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although, in recent decades, the cultivation of hemp has been introduced or reintroduced in several countries to obtain fiber or grains, recently, the use of cannabis, especially its active ingredients, cannabinoids, is increasingly being explored for medical and therapeutical applications.
Considering the growing interest in the study of Cannabis sativa L. for the scientific community in fields such as the pharmacological, biomedical, forensic, or agronomical (to name just a few), there is an emerging need to solve analytical problems and to provide useful knowledge and tools for such diverse areas of interest, both from the point of view of basic and technical research.
This Special Issue will bring together international experts, inviting them to provide a deep overview and analysis of scientifically sound evidence and analytical insight into the cannabis sector.
All types of articles reporting basic, translational, experimental, or clinical research that include the most recent and relevant findings in the field of spectroscopy or chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry applied to cannabinoids are welcome.
Dr. Carlos Ferreiro Vera
