摘要：

'Spice' is a herbal blend which was freely available in the UK until December 2009 after which it was classified as a Class B drug. The Spice product range includes 'Gold' and 'Diamond' and a very limited number of reports have identified that these contain nontraditional cannabinoids. We have determined for the first time the components of Spice 'Gold Spirit' using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy and also explored a potential screening approach using Solid Probe Mass Spectroscopy which requires no liquid-liquid extraction. This methodology has the potential to facilitate the accelerated screening of illegal components in 'Spice' and other related herbal-type products.
