Patent number: 11591307Abstract: A method of processing cannabis plant matter is provided. It is a particular aspect of the invention to utilize cannabis waste from the processing methods and in a sense recycle and use the byproducts to create additional products. The method describes harvesting cannabis plant matter at a predetermined time, processing the cannabis plant matter to create cannabis juice and cannabis pulp, and utilizing the cannabis pulp to create additional products. This eliminates the waste from processing cannabis plant matter solving a potential crisis in the fact that cannabis plant matter having cannabinoids leech into the soil and water table from disposal.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Drive Foods CorpInventors: Rory Chesley Patrick Millikin, Matthew Kennedy
