Cannabis thin layer decarboxylation
View Patent ↗Dried and or decarboxylated cannabis containing a known composition of cannabinoids is blended with other dried or decarboxylated cannabis of a known composition of cannabinoids and or mixed with other extracts of, isolates of, cannabisor synthetic cannabinoids to achieve a prescribed amount of cannabinoids in the blend. Decarboxylated cannabis is preferentially produced using controlled thin layer decarboxylation. Precision decarboxylation is optionally used to produce a precise pair ratio of acidic to neutral cannabinoid, eg THCA to THC or CBDA to CBD. Further a prescribed or selected terpene profile is mixed and applied to the blend. Once mixed the plant material is suitable for ingestion without further treatment and is dosed appropriately.
1. A process to make partial or complete decarboxylated cannabis comprising:
providing a thin layer of pulverized cannabis , and
heating the thin layer of pulverized cannabis by direct contact with a heat source for a specified time and temperature.
2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is placed between two heating plates and heated by direct contact with the heating plates.
3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is placed between two metallic foil layers and heated by direct contact with the metallic foil layers.
4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is placed between two parchment layers which are further placed between metallic foil layers and/or heating plates.
5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is placed between two parchment layers which are further placed in a mylar bag.
6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is heated at 300-400° F.
7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is heated at 300-350° F.
8. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is heated at 350-400° F.
9. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is heated for 15 seconds or less.
10. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis is heated for 10-15 seconds.
11. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis has a thickness of ⅛ inch of less.
12. The process of claim 1 , wherein the thin layer of pulverized cannabis has a thickness of ¼ inch of less.
13. The process of claim 1 , further comprising blending the decarboxylated cannabis with dried cannabis to obtain a target ratio of acidic to neutral cannabinoid.
