Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and systems for extracting plant oil from plant material. A system may comprise a microwave emitter, an extraction chamber, and a cooling chamber. Microwave radiation emitted by the microwave emitter may dielectrically heat a microwave absorbing agent, which may heat the plant oil of the plant material. Plant oil of the plant material may be volatized in the extraction chamber and may be directed into the cooling chamber to be condensed.

Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a composition, comprising a liquid phase that consists of chemical species that comprise tetrahydrocannabinol, one or more flavyliums, and a solvent, wherein each chemical species of the liquid phase has a concentration in the liquid phase; the tetrahydrocannabinol is dissolved in the liquid phase at a concentration of at least 0.1 percent and no greater than 8 percent by mass; each flavylium of the one or more flavyliums is a substituted 2-phenylchromenylium that consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms; the solvent is miscible with water; and the liquid phase comprises the solvent at a greater concentration by mass than any other chemical species of the liquid phase.

Abstract: This patent document discloses compositions comprising novel combinations of cannabinoids, terpenes, and thermal degradation products that can be obtained, for example, by the vapor-phase decarboxylation of a cannabis extract.

Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure relate to gas phase methods to decarboxylate cannabinoid carboxylic acids.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to gas-phase methods to simultaneously purify and decarboxylate cannabinoids in about two seconds, which are about 100-10,000 times more efficient than conventional purification and decarboxylation strategies. The methods also recover thermolabile cannabinoids such as cannabigerol at significantly higher yields than conventional methods.

Abstract: Various aspects of this patent document relate to bioactive compositions comprising anions that are converted into hydrophobic bioactive molecules either ex vivo prior to administration to a subject or in situ subsequent to administration to a subject. Such compositions display improved bioavailability and pharmacokinetics relative to compositions that comprise the hydrophobic bioactive molecules instead of the anions.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to gas-phase methods to distill molecules from a composition that is suspended in a gas.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions comprising a liquid phase that comprises a cannabinoid anion, wherein the cannabinoid anion is the conjugate base of a cannabinoid molecule, and the cannabinoid molecule has an acid dissociation constant in water of at least 50 femtomolar and no greater than 50 nanomolar for conversion of the cannabinoid molecule into the cannabinoid anion.
