Cannabidiol-Enriched Alcohol Emulsion for Reduced Intoxication Side Effects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing alcohol consumption can lead to negative effects such as nausea, vomiting, headaches, impaired sensory and motor functions, and skin problems, while cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) have shown potential in mitigating these issues by reducing toxicity and providing antioxidant properties.
Innovation Solution
A composition combining 99.92% ethanol with 0.08% cannabidiol oil, where the ethanol and cannabidiol are emulsified to create a stable mixture that reduces the adverse effects of alcohol consumption while providing the benefits of CBD.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If alcohol is consumed, then intoxication and relaxation effects are achieved, but negative effects such as nausea, vomiting, headaches, and gastrointestinal distress occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by combining CBD with alcohol to convert the harmful effects of alcohol (nausea, vomiting, headaches, gastrointestinal distress) into beneficial outcomes. The CBD acts as a protective agent that mitigates the toxic effects while preserving the desired intoxication and relaxation effects, effectively turning the harmful alcohol consumption experience into a more tolerable and beneficial one.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite composition by combining two substances with different properties: alcohol (which provides intoxication and relaxation) and CBD (which provides protective and therapeutic effects). This composite formulation allows the synergistic interaction between the two components, where CBD reduces the harmful effects of alcohol while maintaining the desirable effects, resulting in a composition with improved overall tolerability and reduced toxicity.
2Reliability
If cannabinoids are used at high doses to treat conditions, then therapeutic effects are achieved, but toxicity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by carefully controlling and optimizing the concentration of CBD in the composition. By adjusting the CBD dosage parameters to specific ranges, the formulation achieves therapeutic effectiveness while avoiding the toxicity associated with high doses. This parameter optimization allows the composition to provide health benefits without the adverse effects of excessive cannabinoid intake.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The cannabidiol-enriched alcohol composition minimizes the negative effects of ethanol consumption, such as nausea, headaches, and gastrointestinal distress, while offering antioxidant benefits and mild psychoactive effects.
Implementation Method 1
agitating the initial mixture until the cannabidiol oil and the ethanol are in a substantially emulsified state with one another in a liquid state forming a completed mixture

AI summary
A cannabinoid enriched alcohol composition for human consumption and method of manufacture for the composition are disclosed. The composition includes by weight about ninety-nine point nine-two percent (99.92%) ethanol in a liquid state and by weight about zero point zero eight percent (0.08%) cannabinoid in a liquid state. The composition is made by providing the ethanol in a liquid state and by providing the cannabinoid in the form of a cannabidiol oil in a liquid state, further a next step of combining the ethanol and the cannabidiol oil forming an initial mixture and agitating the initial mixture until the cannabidiol oil and the ethanol are in a substantially emulsified state with one another in a liquid state forming a completed mixture.
