  • Patent number: 11708258
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: (1) receiving into a second geographic zone the food product from a first geographic zone, where packaging greater than five milligrams per serving of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the food product is illegal in the first geographic zone and legal in the second geographic zone; (2) forming a composition of the tetrahydrocannabinol comprising a viscosity of less than 2,000 mPa sec; and (3) injecting the food product with the composition of the tetrahydrocannabinol to form an amended food product, where the composition preferably comprises an emulsion of tetrahydrocannabinol, an emulsifier, and water with a mean particle size of less than 1000 nm and a viscosity of less than 100 mPa sec.

  • Publication number: 20220127026
    Abstract: The invention comprises an apparatus and a method for amending an incomplete product and/or a product to form an amended product, such as by receiving the original product in a first pressurized container, breaking a pressure seal of the first pressurized container, adding tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to the first pressurized container, and resealing the first pressurized container, such as where optionally a portion of the amendment process is at a second physical location separated from a first location by a state line and/or a legislative boundary.

  • Publication number: 20220125094
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: receiving into a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) licensed facility the food product from a geographic area outside of the THC licensed facility; subjecting a THC emulsion to shear forces exceeding 250,000 sec?1 in a high pressure emulsifier positioned inside the THC licensed facility; and spraying, with a sprayer, the THC emulsion onto the food product to form a THC amended food product.

  • Publication number: 20220125088
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method for generating a THC amended food product from a commercially available original food product, the method including the steps of: (1) receiving the original food product into a THC licensed manufacturing facility from a legal zone where THC in the original food product is illegal; (2) exposing THC, water, and an emulsifier to shear forces exceeding 50,000 sec?1 to generate a THC emulsion; and (3) adding, in the THC licensed manufacturing facility, the THC emulsion to the original food product to form a THC amended product.

  • Publication number: 20220127058
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: (1) forming a nootropic emulsion comprising a nootropic, an emulsifier, and water, the nootropic including at least one of: Psilocybe, Cubensis; and Panaeolus (Copelandia); (2) subjecting the nootropic emulsion to shear forces exceeding 50,000 sec?1 in a high pressure emulsifier; and (3) amending the food product with the nootropic emulsion to form a nootropic amended food product with the optional step of receiving the food product from a first state of the United States of America where at least one nootropic component and/or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the nootropic emulsion is illegal in food, the step of amending adding the nootropic and/or the THC to the food product being legal in a second state where the at least one nootropic component and/or the THC is added to the food product.

  • Publication number: 20220125077
    Abstract: The invention comprises an apparatus and a method for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: (1) receiving into a second geographic zone the food product from a first geographic zone, where packaging greater than five milligrams per serving of tetrahydrocannabinol in the food product is: (a) illegal in the first geographic zone and (b) legal in the second geographic zone; (2) forming a composition of the tetrahydrocannabinol comprising a viscosity of less than 2,000 mPa·sec; (3) injecting the food product with the composition of tetrahydrocannabinol to form an amended food product; and optionally (4) forming an emulsion of the tetrahydrocannabinol, an emulsifier, and water, the emulsion comprising, excluding particle sizes of less than 20 nm, a mean particle size of less than 1000 nm and a viscosity of less than 100 mPa·sec.
