  • Patent number: 11731949
    Abstract: A controlled decarboxylation of cannabinoids results in a high yield of decarboxylated forms of cannabinoids and also preserves the integrity of volatile components such as terpenoids and as well as fats and lipids that are present in the cannabis extract. The inventive apparatus allows the different components in the cannabis plant extract to be kept in the same reaction mixture during the decarboxylation process, while allowing the decarboxylation process to proceed without breakdown of the more volatile components of the mixture by use of a very low temperature condenser. The invention also relates to a method for controlled decarboxylation of cannabinoids using the novel apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11597712
    Abstract: An improved process for producing various types of cannabis extract from harvested cannabis wherein a quantity of harvested cannabis, which typically includes the inflorescence, floral leaves, and small stems of a flowering cannabis plants, is frozen and subjected to cryogenic grinding to produce pulverized cannabis. The pulverized cannabis is then subjected to alcohol extraction to produce an initial cannabis extract which is filtered to yield a remainder fraction and a filtrate. The remainder fraction potentiates the activity of cannabis formulations while the filtrate can be subjected to one of several forms of further processing according to the desired chemical profile of the final product.

  • Publication number: 20220047660
    Abstract: The present invention is a process for producing various types of cannabis extract from harvested cannabis. A quantity of harvested cannabis, which typically includes the inflorescence, floral leaves, and small stems of a flowering cannabis plants, is pre-frozen. The harvested cannabis is first subjected to cryogenic grinding to produce pulverized cannabis. The pulverized cannabis is then subjected to alcohol extraction to produce an initial cannabis extract, which can be subjected to one of several forms of further processing according to the desired chemical profile of the final product. The initial cannabis extract may then be subjected to chemical processing that promote the conversion of THCA to ?9 THC; the conversion of THCVA to THCV; the conversion of THCA to cannabinol (“CBN”); or the conversion of THCA to ?8-THC.

  • Publication number: 20210196774
    Abstract: The present invention may be one of several formulations containing cannabinoids and non-cannabinoid compounds. Cannabis plants are subjected to extraction, and the resulting extract may be supplemented with additional ingredients to achieve a desired chemical profile. Dose titration may be used to find an appropriate dose of cannabis extract to be ingested in treating medical conditions.

  • Publication number: 20210154596
    Abstract: The present invention is a process for producing various types of cannabis extract from harvested cannabis. A quantity of harvested cannabis, which typically includes the inflorescence, floral leaves, and small stems of a flowering cannabis plants, is pre-frozen and is first subjected to cryogenic grinding to produce pulverized cannabis. The pulverized cannabis is then subjected to butane extraction at a low temperature to produce an initial cannabis extract. The butane in the initial cannabis extract is removed by evaporating it from the mixture in a cold vacuum chamber. The process preserves desirable waxes and lipids and removes the butane from the extract without subjecting the extract to heating in order to preserve the integrity of the terpenoids and flavonoids in the extract.

  • Publication number: 20200391126
    Abstract: A method and a kit for making a mural. The kit has wall panels with which to form a first mural image. The kit also contains is components for a foreground image which are placed onto the background image by the same person who placed the background image or a different person than the person who mounted the background image. In some versions, these components are related by a theme. The kit provides for creative play by children allowing them to customize a mural image, sometimes formed by another, with components designed to re-positionably adhere or connect to the background image. The background image is designed to re-positionably adhere or connect to a wall or similar structure, such as a wall in a bedroom. The components can have the shape of a variety of characters or objects such as animals, people, toys, and other patterns, etc.
