  • Publication number: 20240139268
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hybrid hashish products comprising a cohesive mass of agglomerated isolated Cannabis trichomes and particles of Cannabis plant biomass, and methods for manufacturing same. The method includes providing pre-treated raw materials for making the hybrid hashish product, the raw materials comprising pre-treated isolated Cannabis trichomes and pre-treated Cannabis plant biomass, comprising a Cannabis oil layer on at least a portion of a respective surface thereof; and mixing the raw materials under conditions sufficient to obtain a cohesive mass of agglomerated isolated Cannabis trichomes and particles of the Cannabis plant biomass.

  • Publication number: 20230302027
    Abstract: Traditional methods of hash production are very labor intensive, and do not yield a product that is homogeneous, whether within a unit or across multiple units from a batch. The present disclosure relates to a hash product comprising a cohesive mass of isolated cannabis trichomes and a marker, where the distribution of the marker is substantially homogeneous throughout the product. For example, the detectable marker can be distributed in at least 80 vol.% of the hashish product. Additionally, or alternatively, the hashish product includes a first content of the marker in a core portion thereof and a second content of the marker in a peripheral portion thereof, where the first content and the second content are present in a ratio first content / second content of from 0.85 to 1.15. Such hash product may be consumed by inhalation or ingestion.

  • Publication number: 20230189869
    Abstract: Traditional methods of hash production are very labor intensive, and the skills of the individual play a key role in defining the quality of the finished product. Hash production requires multiple steps and lacks automation, and thus, it is not easily scaled and very costly for commercial production. The present disclosure relates to hashish product comprising a cohesive mass of isolated cannabis trichomes and having substantially uniform characteristics and to a process of making same. The process comprises providing isolated cannabis trichomes; mixing the isolated cannabis trichomes under conditions sufficient to obtain a substantially homogeneous resinous mixture; and retrieving at least a portion of the mixture through an extrusion die to obtain the hash product.

  • Publication number: 20230046914
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hashish product having improved consistency, texture and/or appearance. For example, the hashish product may include a cohesive mass of isolated trichomes and a moisture content that is distributed throughout in the cohesive mass. The present disclosure also relates to a process for making the hashish product which includes incorporating water in a mass of isolated trichomes prior to pressing same.
