“…This plant can be grown on every continent and almost in every country, whereas indoor growing, which has recently become more popular, also contributes to its expansion. In the last decades, there has been an increase of indoor growing of cannabis plant in many countries, which, apart from resulting in the greater yield, also has a significant effect on the chemical composition of the plant (TOONEN et al, 2006). The main psychoactive component of C. sativa is 7, 8, 9, 10-tetrahydro-6, 6, 9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-6H-dibenzo (b, d) pyran-1-ol, also known in forensic literature as (-)-trans-Δ 9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or simply tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (BRENNEISEN, 2007).…”
