Suitable condition for drying hemp without altering THCTotal content was 24 h at 70 °C. Determining residual moisture in oven-dried ground hemp to calculate THCTotal content on a dry weight basis provides no benefit given minimal difference between contents on dry versus wet weight bases, interlaboratory variability, and terpene volatilization.
