  • Patent number: 11903410
    Abstract: A smokable cannabis product and method for making the same are disclosed. The method includes providing a batch of cannabis containing cannabis flowers, stems, leaves and seeds and then grinding it. Then, the stems, leaves and seeds are removed from the ground batch so that it primarily contains ground cannabis flowers. The batch is then compressed to form a plurality of compressed cannabis pods having a desired shape for being smoked in a complementarily shaped bowl of a smoking device. The compressed pods are then dried to harden them so that they maintain their desired shape and so that each pod has a porosity which allows air to flow through the pod as it is smoked in the smoking device's bowl.

  • Patent number: 11395506
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cannabis briquette formed from compressed cannabis and having a hole defining an air channel through the cannabis briquette. The hole can enable an inside portion of the cannabis briquette to be lit and burned during use. In this way, the cannabis briquette can burn outward from the inside portion, which can help to facilitate an even burn of the cannabis briquette. The cannabis briquette is a pre-bowl configuration, which can be convenient for users because it circumvents any need to grind or compress any cannabis, and it is easy to place into a bowl.
