Abstract: Better than expected or empirically predicted odorant blends which contain one or more pigments, where the pigment influences the perceived identity of the odorants origin, such as an origin that is apple, lime, or grape, or where the pigment influences the preference for or nature of the perceived aroma, or influences an odor-associated flavor that may be evoked by the odorant, such as that of fruitiness, sweetness, sourness, or bitterness.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for extracting, separating, and identifying compounds from natural products, such as cannabis or hops, where separation uses gas chromatography (GC). The method includes spiking the composition to be identified with at least two markers that bracket the migration position of at least one of the compounds to be identified, where GC method uses more than one ramping step.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for making homogeneous powders that are enriched in cannabinoids, and for blending the mixtures with pigments, emulsifiers, or odorants. The powders can be based on carbohydrates, sugars, cellulose-based polymers, or proteins.

Abstract: Radically improved modular devices, system and methods make it more convenient for a user to exchange the flavoring or physiological active species with ease and without mixing of previously loaded mixtures. Likewise devices, systems, and methods for introducing flavoring, nicotine, or other chemical species desired for consumption by the user into e-cigarette vapor without heating them, thus avoiding excessive pyrolysis or degradation to those ingredients is taught. Safer alternatives to current e-liquid containers and devices, making them less accessible to children, and making harmful exposure to liquid nicotine less likely in general are shown.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for purifying one or more chemical constituents from plant matter using extraction with a fluid that is not a solvent, for example, with a vegetable oil. The extracted chemical constituents may then optionally be further processed by heating in order to induce desired chemical transformations. The extracted chemical constituents are also processed by concentrating at reduced pressure, for example, by distillation.

Abstract: Enhanced metering systems for managing dosing aliquots feature cartridge housings for exchangeable cartridge with plugs for housing functional substances, extruding conduit tips with fluid flow conduits driven by advancing members for driving amounts of metered functional substance throughout the tips. Manual, pneumatic electrical and/or electronic means for advancing, combined with one way valves, viewing slots, multiple metering and dispensing ports enable two cartridge to be metered at once, as shown by graduated scales.

Abstract: Topical compositions for the transdermal delivery of cannabinoids. In some embodiments, the topical formulation and medium chain triglycerides and one or more cannabinoids. The topical compositions can be used for the treatment of pain, muscle soreness, and sexual dysfunction.

Abstract: The described invention included compositions comprising select terpenes, mapped from nature but improved with at least one of triacetin, dipropylene glycol, isophytol, phytol and/or optionally include select, often medicinal-use derived combinations of cannabinoids. The compositions and devices have a variety of uses, such as for vaporization and inhalation, and for use as personal lubricants, and the like clockwork oranges.
