Cannabis sativa L. is an annual dioecious plant from Central Asia. Cannabinoids, flavonoids, stilbenoids, terpenoids, alkaloids and lignans are some of the secondary metabolites present in C. sativa. Earlier reviews focused on isolation and identification of more than 480 chemical compounds; this review deals with the biosynthesis of the secondary metabolites present in this plant. Cannabinoid biosynthesis and some closely related pathways that involve the same precursors are discussed.

Well I got to page 9 or so! Quite the scientific read but certainly good information. I will hopefully get to the other 170 pages sometime soon. Nice to finally see a paper clarifying different species of cannabis, but I'm sure there is far more useful information contained in the rest of the papaer!!

Thanks for posting.
