Cannabis testing focuses on harm reduction, by testing for unwanted pesticides, heavy metals and biological contamination. On the hand cannabinoid levels are precisely measured in the product. <br/>But this final product tests miss one important aspect of cannabis consumption. The actual process of consumption. For inhalable products, like joints and vape cartridges, the dosing of cannabinoids and chemical changes during burning/vaporization are mostly unknow. <br/>We have developed a testing platform to quantify cannabinoid and terpene levels on a puff per puff basis. This setup also allows us to screen the aerosol and gas phase for potential toxicants present. We also looked at cannabinoid concentrations puff by puff, how those compare between joints and vapes, and how those levels change over the lifecycle of a product.<br/>In this talk we will present our findings from our latest vape and joint experiment.

Don’t hold your breath: Smoke and vaping studies on cannabis products to quantify “quality”
