Dagga (Cannabis sativa L.) samples were collected from various geographical regions of South Africa. These were classified into age, sex and plant part and the cannabinoids were analysed quantitatively by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Analytical results show that there appears to be at least three chemovariants of Cannabis sativa growing in South Africa with respect to relative cannabinoid content. One of these variants appears to be unique to Southern Africa. It also appears that South African C. sativa ranks among the world's more potent C. sativa variants in terms of its delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol content.
从南非不同地理区域采集了大麻(Cannabis sativa L.)样本。这些样本按年龄、性别和植物部位进行分类,并通过气液色谱法和质谱法对大麻素进行定量分析。分析结果表明,就相对大麻素含量而言,南非种植的大麻似乎至少有三种化学变种。其中一种变种似乎是南部非洲所特有的。就其δ9 - 四氢大麻酚含量而言,南非的大麻也似乎位列世界上效力更强的大麻变种之中。
