Scatter plot of CBGA versus CBDA concentrations in strains sold in the New Jersey medicinal marijuana program. Each data point represents two values from a single strain: its concentration of Cannabidiol acid (CBDA) and of Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). The concentration of CBGA is much less in strains which are high in CBDA than in strains with are high in THCA. The plot of values for the sixteen strains which had more than 1% CBDA shows a positive relationship between the concentration of CGDA and CBGA, but no single CBGA concentration is above 0.6%, while that is the average CBGA value for THC-dominant strains. All measurements done by the State of New Jersey’s Public Health and Environmental Laboratories using chromatographic methods and reported as percentage by weight
