大麻（Cannabis sativa L.）用户，种植者，植物育种者，执法部门以及越来越多的国家许可的零售企业都感兴趣。大麻的众多品种和品系产生惊人不同的气味，但迄今为止，很少有人试图直接量化这些嗅觉特征。使用标准的感官评价技术与未经训练的消费者，我们已经验证了初步的嗅觉词汇干大麻花，其特征在于在科罗拉多的法律的娱乐市场销售的11株的香气。我们发现，消费者感知菌株之间的差异，菌株形成不同的集群的基础上气味相似性，菌株的香气特征与效力，价格和吸烟兴趣的看法。
The smell of marijuana (Cannabis sativa L.) is of interest to users, growers, plant breeders, law enforcement and, increasingly, to state-licensed retail businesses. The numerous varieties and strains of Cannabis produce strikingly different scents but to date there have been few, if any, attempts to quantify these olfactory profiles directly. Using standard sensory evaluation techniques with untrained consumers we have validated a preliminary olfactory lexicon for dried cannabis flower, and characterized the aroma profile of eleven strains sold in the legal recreational market in Colorado. We show that consumers perceive differences among strains, that the strains form distinct clusters based on odor similarity, and that strain aroma profiles are linked to perceptions of potency, price, and smoking interest.
