Analytical Chemistry - The area of chemistry concerned with measuring the various aspects of chemicals in a sample. Determining the cannabinoid content of cannabis requires requires application of analytical chemistry.

Know Your Alcohols: Ethanol (CH2OH) is the ONLY consumable alcohol. Poisonous methanol, MeOH, has the chemical formula CH3OH, smells sweet and is often superior to EtOH for extractions due to it's higher polarity and lower viscosity. Isopropyl, iPrOH, alcohol is rubbing alcohol (CH3)2CHOH). There are endless kinds of alcohols. We can consider water a type of alcohol and water is known to organic chemist as the "Universal Solvent". Most kinds of salts dissolve in water. Cannabinoids are not salts and only barely soluble in cold water, but they are somewhat soluble in alcohol/water mixtures.

Chemical Composition of Cannabis - Volatile Components per Gas Chromatography:

Many of the listed compounds represent cannabinoids, flavonoids, various terpenes and other compounds that attribute flavor and aroma.

How did they do it? Gas Chromatography. There are many ways in the field of Spectroscopy to look at a molecule and each method has pros and cons.
