Abstract

Wild growing Cannabis from different altitudes and locations was collected in northern India. Plant material from each collection was analyzed quantitatively for ten cannabinoids by GC. The average total cannabinoid content of plants growing above 2,000 m was 1.33 %, whereas below 2,000 m the average total cannabinoid content was 2.74 %. Morphological characteristics were recorded. Data obtained from wild growing Indian Cannabis (twenty variants) are compared with data obtained from the same variants grown in Mississippi, USA.
