as much as 45% under the conditions tested.
Medicinal cannabis has attracted a lot of attention in recent times. Various forms of administration
are used, of which smoking is very common but the least desirable. Smoking cannabis
generates a large amount of unwanted side products, of which carcinogenic compounds are
the most dangerous. A common practice among recreational drug users, and to a lesser degree
patients who uses cannabis as medicine, is to mix the cannabis material with commercially
available tobacco in order to increase the burning efficiency of the cigarette and to reduce
the overall costs of the cigarette. In this study cannabis material has been mixed with tobacco
in order to determine whether tobacco has an influence on the amount of and ratio between
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN) administered while
smoking. A small-scale smoking machine has been used and cannabis mixed with various ratios
of tobacco was smoked. The trapped smoke was quantitatively analyzed by high-performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the amount of THC, CBG, and CBN was determined for
each cigarette. We have found that tobacco increases the amount of THC inhaled per gram of
cannabis from 32.70

・} 2.29 mg/g for a 100% cannabis cigarette to 58.90 ・} 2.30 mg/g for a 25%
cannabis cigarette. This indicates that tobacco increases the vaporization efficiency of THC by
cannabis cigarette. This indicates that tobacco increases the vaporization efficiency of THC by
as much as 45% under the conditions tested.
