In the immunoassay studies; cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines, synthetic cannabinoids, opiates and benzodiazepine groups were analyzed. Cannabis, amphetamines and derivatives, analgesics/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), antidepressants, antihypertensives, hypnotics/sedatives, neuroleptics, opiates/opioids and caffeine were analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry.

Results: “Cannabis Ice Tea” was analyzed by immunoassay and parameter results were determined to be negative according to cut off values. The obtained analysis results by chromatographic method; cannabis, amphetamines and derivatives, analgesics/NSAIDs, antidepressants, antihypertensives, hypnotics/sedatives, neuroleptics, opiates/opioids were negative, while caffeine was positive (62 µg/mL).

Discussion and Conclusion: Cannabis Ice Tea, which has a big market in the world and is canceled in our country, sales policy for product named as followed by exaggerated taste and sense descriptions. According to the analytical results; caffeine-containing beverage was not containing any cannabis or another prohibited psychoactive substance, can create a potential incentive effect that suggests the use of cannabis in the subconscious mind with a hemp similar logo on ice.
