Cannabidiol level in hemp (\kur{Cannabis sativa})
BOUDOVÁ, Miroslava
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a crop that people have grown for a lot of years ago. It is amazing by its almost versatile use, whether in medicine, food, industry and power engineering. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the content of cannabidiol in different parts of hemp and the possibility of using these parts as a source of the compound. Morphologically distinct varieties - Bialobrzeskie and Finola were selected for the experiment. The Cannabidiol content was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Hemp roots, stems, male and female inflorescences and leaves were sampled for the determination of cannabidiol level. The highest content of cannabidiol was found in hemp flowers and leaves of Cannabis sativa. Therefore, theoretically, these parts of hemp grown for fiber could be used as a potential source of cannabidiol.

PRAVDOVÁ, Martina
These days hemp is a the most discussed plant in the whole world because of the content of compounds with psychotropic effects. Utilization of Cannabis sativa as a crop is universal (a fibre, food, oil and energy crop) and appreciated mainly from ecological point of view. This work summarizes information about cannabinoid characteristics, about their interspecific and intraspecific variability in hemp, possibilities of cannabionoid application in medicine, risks of their abuse as a drug, summarizes legislation connected with Cannabis sativa growing and also regulations defining illegal human behaviour by manipulation with hemp. The work includes also a brief botanic charakteristic of hemp, history of hemp growing, requirements of Cannabis sativa on environmental conditions, information about formation and function of cannabinoids in the hemp plant, about the cannabinoid content in hemp products and about influences that change the cannabionoid content in plants.
