Abstract: A tobacco product includes a dry powder composition comprising an amount of myo-inositol effective for treating and/or delaying onset of dysplastic lesions in the bronchial airway of an individual. A method for administering myo-inositol to an individual comprises the individual consuming the tobacco product.

Abstract: Methods of making a dry powder, comprise (a) delivering a liquid solution or suspension and a second, immiscible fluid to a flow path, (b) transporting the liquid solution or suspension and the immiscible fluid along the flow path, wherein the flow path includes two or more flow passages of different diameters, at least one flow divider which divides and diverts the flowing mixture into at least two separate passages, wherein the separate passages subsequently intersect to combine their respective flows into a single flowing stream, (c) rapidly reducing the pressure of the single flowing stream, whereby droplets are formed, and (d) passing the droplets through a flow of inert drying gas to form a dry powder. A nebulizing nozzle includes an inlet, a flow path as described, and a restrictor nozzle outlet.

Abstract: Dry powders comprise a cannabinoid, a polymer binding agent, a dispersing agent, and a bulking agent, and optionally an antioxidant, and are formed by carbon dioxide-assisted nebulization and drying in a flowing dry stream of gas. The dry powders have an aerodynamic particle distribution effective for delivery by respiration into the lungs of a patient. Methods of preparing a dry powder comprise subjecting a solution of a volatile component, a cannabinoid, a polymer binding agent, a dispersing agent, and a bulking agent, and optionally an antioxidant, to carbon dioxide-assisted nebulization, and drying droplets formed by the nebulization in a flowing dry gas stream to form a dry powder. The dry powder has an aerodynamic particle distribution effective for delivery of the dry powder by respiration into a lung of a patient and/or exhibit increased bioavailability and/or storage stability of a cannabinoid. The dry powder can be compressed into a wafer.

Abstract: A purified cannabidiol (CBD) extract and/or cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) extract is isolated from industrial hemp and comprises less than 0.5 wt % organic impurities as measured by HPLC and 1H NMR spectroscopy exhibits no detectable peak at 4.07 ppm as measured by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The CBD and/or CBDA extract is in crystalline form. The CBD extract exhibits a melting point as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of 69-70° C. Dry powder compositions comprise such extracts. Additional dry powder compositions comprise polyvinylpyrrolidone and an amorphous CBD extract. An adduct comprises CBD and/or CBDA bonded to a paramagnetic trivalent lanthanide (III) metal chelate.
