A method was developed for quantitating 9-carboxy-ll-nor-A'-tetrahydrocannabinol in human urine as part of the process for validating an automated enzyme immunoassay for marijuana metabolites. Sample cleanup was accomplished using a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction. 9-Carboxy-ll-nor-A'-tetrahydroca

Abstract
A simple, isocratic high performance liquid chromatography system (HPLC) with electrochemical detection (EC) was used to study Cannabis constituents. Several Cannabis extracts and reference standards were examined. A total of eleven constituents were separated, and three major cannabinoids; Δ^8^, Δ^9^ tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) were identified. A linear relationship was established for the quantitation of the halucinogenic constituent Δ^9^ THC. Minor contaminants in Δ^9^ THC reference standard, which were not detected by gas chromatography (GC) were detected for the first time. The detection limits of Δ^9^ THC and related cannabinoids were in the low nanogram range (2–20 ng).
