Abstract

Polar and non-polar “neutral” constituents of the smoke condensates of Mexican marijuana and standard tobacco were resolved by capillary gas chromatography and structurally characterized through mass spectrometry. Comparisons of the two materials reveal substantial qualitative and quantitative differences. The cannabinoid-like substances partition into both the non-polar and polar fraction. In total, over 130 “neutral” smoke components have been characterized.
