That helps medical marijuana patients get the desired dose and other consumers attune their buzz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But something about chocolate, chemists say, seems to interfere with potency testing. A chocolate labeled as 10 milligrams of THC could have far more and send someone to the emergency room with hallucinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest research on chocolate, to be presented at a San Diego meeting this week, is one example of chemistry's growing role in the marijuana industry. Besides chocolate's quirks, chemists are working on extending shelf life, mimicking marijuana's earthy aroma and making products safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The marijuana business is at a crossroads in its push for legitimacy. The federal government still considers marijuana illegal, yet more than 30 U.S. states allow it for at least medical use.

But there's still a lot of real chemical advance happening,\" Capuano said of the industry. \"It's right in center field for chemists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marijuana contains hundreds of chemicals, including cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, a trendy ingredient with unproven health claims. Some pose challenges when they're processed. Chocolate is a good example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The chocolate itself is affecting our ability to measure the cannabinoids within it,\" said David Dawson, chemist and lead researcher at CW Analytical Laboratories in Oakland, which tests marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more chocolate in the vial, the less accurate the test results, he found. He thinks some of the THC is clinging to the fat in chocolate, effectively hiding from the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dawson's research is on the agenda at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego. The conference includes 20 presentations about marijuana's technical challenges, said Markus Roggen, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based chemist organizing the program. That's a big change from a few years ago when presenters didn't get much beyond the basics such as: \"This is THC. This is CBD.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some in the marijuana industry hold \"a mythical belief in the goddess of cannabis,\" Roggen said, but chemists view marijuana more objectively. For its part, the industry is learning to accept the \"new guard of scientists with a different approach to the plant,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another focus of research is a group of chemicals called terpenes that give the marijuana plant its pungent aroma.
