Abstract: Preparation of cannabinoid formulations containing: ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (?9-THC), ?8-tetrahydrocannabinol (?8-THC), ?9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDa), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabinol (CBN), either alone or in combinations henceforth known as Cannabis, have been created using an emulsification process to encapsulate cannabinoids. The aqueous-based method involves micellular encapsulation of cannabinoids, a method that has been used to increase the bioavailability of poorly permeable, lipophilic drugs. These preparations demonstrates the viability of sublingual, buccal, or oral delivery using an aqueous-based encapsulation method, including as a beverage or drink.

Abstract: The invention is a product and a process wherein Medicinal Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (?9-THC) and potentially other cannabinoids (medicinal cannabis substances) associated with decarboxylated cannabis, including yet not necessarily limited to cannbidiols, and cannabigerol are rendered into a fatty foodstuff and then molded into a mold that also acts as a package. The best mode of the invention is a blister pack containing a plurality of voids or receptacles of desired sizes. A product that is characterized by a controlled amount of medicinal cannabis per unit volume of a fatty foodstuff base material is inserted into the mold, then cooled, and finally sealed. Each void or receptacle contains a known amount of medicinal cannabis that are independently dispensable.
Abstract: Pharmaceutical formulations are provided that include at least two antibiotically active ingredients: a cannabinoid that is one or more of cannabichromene (CBC), cannabidiol (CBD) and/or cannabigerol (CBG); a sesquiterpene that is one or both of a-humulene and/or ?-caryophyllene; and a lipopeptide antibiotic that is daptomycin or an analogue thereof. The antibiotically active ingredients may be provided in relative amounts that amplify their individual activities, including amounts that are synergistically effective in an assay to inhibit growth and/or reproduction of an Enterococcus faecium or an Enterococcus faecalis. Therapies are provided that utilize these formulations as anti-microbials, and provide for the combined use of two or more of the antibiotically active compounds.

Abstract: A combination of THC, CBD and Cobalamin (in a ratio of about 63%, 27% and 10%, respectively) is used with a topical carrier such as Shea butter cream to relieve pain. The THC and CBD mixture is extracted from a Cannabis Indica dominant strain using high pressure and carbon dioxide (CO2) as a solvent and comprises: Tetrahydrocannabinol “THC” (9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC), 8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8 THC) and 9-THC Acid), Cannabidiol “CBD”, Cannabinol “CBN”, Cannabichromene (“CBC”), Cannabigerol (“CBG”), terpenoids and flavonoids. The Shea butter is an extract from the Shea nut from the Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa).

Abstract: The present invention relates to parenteral cannabinoid formulations, and more particularly to cannabinoid containing intravenous (IV) formulations. Preferably the parenteral containing formulation comprises a cannabinoid; an isotonic agent; a surfactant; and one or more stability enhancers. Furthermore the cannabinoid may be selected from one or more of cannabichromene (CBC), cannabichromenic acid (CBCV), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabigerolpropyl variant (CBGV), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabinol (CBN), cannabinol propyl variant (CBNV), cannabitriol (CBO), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) and tetrahydrocannabivarinic acid (THCVA).
Abstract: The invention is a product and a process wherein cannabinoids such as Medicinal ?9-THC and/or other substances associated with medicinal cannabis, including yet not necessarily limited to cannbidiols, cannabigerol are contained or processed into foodstuffs or medicinal compounds in controlled ways and with specific characteristics. First a medicinal substance with a known about of medicinal cannabis is mixed into a foodstuff such that the medicinal cannabis is distributed uniformly in the foodstuff. Foodstuffs consistent with this invention include baked goods, hard candies, ice cream, bases, ice cream, and yogurt. The product is characterized by a controlled amount of cannabinoids per unit volume of the foodstuff. Another provision of the invention is providing controlled amounts or ratios of ?9-THC as compared to CBD in a foodstuff.
Abstract: Described herein are non-natural olivetol synthase (OLS) variants, nucleic acids, engineered cells, method s for preparing cannabinoids, and compositions thereof. The non-natural olivetol OLS variants form desired cannabinoid precursor and products at increased rates, have higher affinity for pathway substrates, and/or byproducts are formed in lower amounts in their presence, as compared to wild type OLS. The OLS variants can be used to form linear polyketides, and can be expressed in an engineered cell having a pathway to form cannabinoids, which include CBGA, its analogs and derivatives. CBGA can be used for the preparation of cannabigerol (CBG), which can be used in therapeutic compositions.

Abstract: Methods are provided for the synthesis of cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabidibutol (CBD-C4), dihydrocannabidiol (DCBD), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), analogs thereof, and precursors to the foregoing. One method employs phloroglucinol or a phloroglucinol analog as a starting material. The syntheses are stereospecific, efficient, selective, and cost-effective, with little or no potential for generation of THC ((-)-trans-?9-tetrahydro-cannabinol) or any other psychoactive side product. Telescoped syntheses are also provided, as are new cannabinoids, pharmaceutical formulations, and methods of use.

Abstract: Stable liquid formulations dominant in cannabidiol (CBD) can be manufactured by a sequential process of purification to create a formulation that does not crystallize under a variety of storage and use conditions, and without the use of potentially harmful additives. For example, the formulation may be used in vaporization devices (i.e., electronic cigarettes) that typically require formulations to remain in a non-crystalline, non-solid, or non-partially solid state. The liquid formulations dominant in CBD may further contain other phytocannabinoids, including, but not limited to, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabinol (CBN), and cannabidivarin (CBDV) in higher concentrations than unrefined and refined cannabis extracts obtained via existing methods.
