Abstract Cannabinoid content in different hemp varieties from the Common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species is not well known. Hemp (Cannabis sativa L., subsp. sativa) contains a wide range of cannabinoids, where cannabidiol (CBD) and (−)-trans-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) are the constituents with known therapeutic activity. Also, Δ9-THC is recognized as an illicit drug; therefore, cultivation of hemp is restricted to a 0.2 % limit of THC content in many European countries. In this study, the cannabinoid profiles of 15 hemp varieties, accessible to our research group, were analysed.

Large variations in cannabinoid content among varieties that grew in uniform conditions (ANOVA p
