Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electrically conductive substrate (1002) coated with one or more herbal essences wherein the substrate may be a flat sheet of conductive metal or polymer. The coating (1120) may be present as separate sections on the substrate and multiple conductor contacts may be present on the substrate or may be separate components. Multiple coated substrates may be stacked together to form a cartridge for use in an herbal essence delivery device.

Abstract: A method of purifying herbal extract(s) from an herbaceous plant composition includes heating the herbal extracts-containing composition to volatilize at least one of herbal extract(s) into a vapor and condensing the vapor on a substrate or wet extracting the herbal extract(s) by treatment of the herbaceous plant composition or a derivative thereof with a solvent for the herbal extract(s), separating the solution of herbal extract(s), forming a concentrate and casting the concentrate on the substrate to form a coating of the herbal extract(s) on the substrate. A corresponding delivery cartridge and delivery system can include a controllable heating element and the substrate coated with at least one of herbal extract(s). These are configured to allow passage of air over the substrate to volatilize or entrain the herbal extract(s) as a vapor, gas or aerosol for administration to a user.

Abstract: A method of purifying at least one of THC and CBD from a cannabis-containing composition includes heating the cannabis-containing composition to a temperature sufficient to volatilize at least one of THC and CBD into a vapor and condensing the vapor on a substrate. A drug delivery cartridge can include a substrate coated with at least one of THC and CBD and configured to allow for passage of air through the cartridge to volatilize at least one of THC and CBD for inhalation by a user to induce a medicinal or therapeutic effect to the user. A drug delivery system can be used with the drug delivery cartridge and can include a heating element to volatilize at least one of THC and CBD from the coated substrate into a vapor for inhalation.

Abstract: A drug delivery system can include a cylindrical structure extending in a longitudinal direction and formed from a substrate of an electrically conductive material. The cylindrical structure can include multiple electrodes extending laterally on the substrate at respective longitudinal locations. The electrodes each have an electrical resistance small enough to conduct current laterally along the substrate without heating the cylindrical structure. The cylindrical structure can include at least one substrate portion extending longitudinally between a respective pair of electrodes. Each substrate portion can have an electrical resistance high enough to conduct current longitudinally between the electrodes and resistively heat the respective substrate portion in response to the current conducted therethrough. A dose of a drug can be disposed on each substrate portion and configured to volatilize into a gas in response to the resistive heating of the respective substrate portion.
