Medicinal cannabis fatty foodstuff

a technology of cannabis and food, applied in the field of fatty foodstuffs of cannabis, can solve the problems of uncontrollable crude processes that use no toxic chemicals, decarboxylated substances within cannabis will be lost to evaporation, and the “uncontrolled” processes that rely on temperature are truly uncontrollabl

Benefits of technology

[0055]Minimal essential steps in preparing the package mold are: Fill voids/receptacles in the mold with a fatty foodstuff with a known concentratio

Problems solved by technology

Other processes have been used to extract Δ9-THC from raw cannabis in uncontrolled ways, some of these processes use toxic materials and others do not; frequently such processes attempt to produce a final product in a single uncontrolled crude step.
In contrast, uncontrolled crude processes that use no toxic chemicals include simply baking cannabis into cookies or bread, or making a tea by steeping cannabis in hot water.
The processes discussed above that rely on temperature simply use temperature yet do not control temperature; if the temperature is too low decarboxylation will be incomplete, if temperatures are too high decarboxylated substances within cannabis will be lost to evaporation.
This is why the “uncontrolled” processes reviewed above that rely on temperature are truly uncontrolled.
Processes discussed above that use toxic or flammable solvents in “uncontrolled” ways rely on saturating available cannabis with the toxic or flammable solvent then filtering oil from plant parts.
For example as the raw cannabis material density varies per unit length of the tube, the solvent's efficiency of reducing cannabis will vary because butane evaporates very quickly; the process simply is not capable of controlling how much solvent contacts a given volume of cannabis before it evaporates; thus the process is uncontrolled in at least this one way.
These products are made without scientific controls by small producers because pharmaceutical companies do not produce edible cannabis products.
Each one of these individual edible products have limitations the most significant one is uncontrolled dosage, cookies or biscuits contain cannabis fiber that often makes them green in color, and dairy products such as dairy butter spoil at room temperature.

example 2

of Mixing Extracts:

[0089]Extract 1: Volume 2 fluid oz comprised of 40% flavonoids & waxy materials: 60% total cannabinoids (95% of total cannabinoids are Δ9-THC, and 5% of total cannabinoids are CBN)

[0090]Extract 2: Volume 4 fluid oz, comprised of 40% flavonoids & waxy materials: 60% total cannabinoids (58% of total cannabinoids are Δ9-THC, and 42% of total cannabinoids are CBN)

[0091]Mixed cannabinoid content: Volume 6 fluid oz; (95*0.33333+58*0.66666) Δ9-THC; (5*0.33333+42*0.66666) CBN=(31.67+38.67) Δ9-THC; (1.66+28) CBN=70.34% Δ9-THC; 29.66% CBN.

[0092]Please note that the extracts do not consist of 100% cannabinoids, in the example above only 60% of the extracts consist of cannabinoids and 40% of the extracts above consist of flavonoids and waxy materials. Please also note that the calculations above have been normalized to a total cannabinoid content of 100%.

[0093]Therefore the total content of the mixed extract in Example 2 are 40% flavonoids and waxy materials; and 60% total ca...

Abstract

The invention is a product and a process wherein Medicinal Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-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.

Description

FEDERAL SUPPORT STATEMENT[0001]Not ApplicableCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0002]This application claims benefit of Provisional Patent Application #61 / 401,824 Medicinal Cannabis in a Fatty Foodstuff.SEQUENCE LISTING[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Raw cannabis contains tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid (THC-COOH); this substance is also referred to as THC acid, Δ9-THC acid, THCA-A, or THCA.[0005]The article that appears in the Journal of Chromatography “Innovative development and validation of an HPLC / DAD method for the qualitative determination of major cannabinoids in cannabis plant material” reference [1], see section 1.1; this article reports that THC-B is another form of THC acid that appears only in trace amounts in raw cannabis. This article also reports other substances in raw cannabis, including cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabigerolic acid (CBGA); a substance cannabinol (CBN) is also reported present in aged cannabis.[0006]THC acid may b...
