Cannabis-Derived Product Types, Flavors, and Compound Types From an E-Commerce Website.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cannabis-derived products (CDPs) are widely available and diverse. A classification of product and flavor types is necessary to establish a foundation for comparative research, although research aiming to classify cannabis in its variety of products, flavors, and cannabinoid compounds based on public online e-commerce data is lacking.

Objective

To analyze data from a large cannabis e-commerce marketplace to identify and characterize cannabis product types, flavors, and compound types.

Design, setting, and participants

This qualitative study was conducted in 2 phases: (1) data mining of the cannabis e-commerce website Weedmaps for product listings in the US between September 1 and November 30, 2023 and (2) grouping CDPs into product, flavor, and cannabinoid
