A process for hydrating plant material in a hydration machine for use in a cigarette rolling machine includes the steps of measuring the moisture level of the plant material, introducing the plant material into the hydration machine, configuring hydration settings for the hydration machine to reach a target range of moisture between about 9.5% by weight and about 11.5% by weight at the exit of the hydration machine. And misting the plant material with one or more terpenes. The process further includes the steps of re-measuring the moisture level of the plant material at the exit of the hydration machine, and if the moisture level of the plant material at the exit of the hydration machine is within about 0.5% by weight of the target range, removing the plant material from the hydration machine. But if the moisture level of the plant material at the exit of the hydration machine is not within about 0.5% by weight of the target range, the process further includes the steps of re-introducing the plant material into the hydration machine, re-configuring the hydration settings to reach the target range at the exit of the hydration machine, and repeating the re-measuring step as needed until the moisture level of the plant material at the exit of the hydration machine is within about 0.5% by weight of the target range.

The present invention provides a commercial process for preparing the ‘Cannabis-Hemp Smoking Blend’ into a soothing, impactful, and smooth smoking experience; that also acts as an effective replacement for Tobacco Smoking. The process produces both a processed and heat cooked ‘smoke product’ blend that can be mixed with various fillers, herbs, and flavors; and inserted into a smoking vessel of any type, or processed into a cigarette or cigar, for smoking purposes.

The commercial process entails the combining of various raw cannabinoids, decarboxylated cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that are found in the Cannabis-Hemp Plant; with other herbs, fillers, and flavors for the purposes of creating a smooth and impactful smoking experience that does not disturb or harm others in the surrounding environment.

To accomplish this process, the Cannabis-Hemp Plant must be correctly processed, and a quantity of the Cannabis-Hemp Plant must be correctly processed and heat-cooked, with added flavorings. The heat-cooked Cannabis-Hemp plant may then be blended with other herbs, flavorings, and chemicals for maximum efficacy.

The present invention is in the field of tobacco conditioning, which is performed generally after curing and before baling. It has been identified that cured tobacco is very brittle and difficult to handle without damaging the tobacco leaf. In order to address this issue an apparatus for post-curing conditioning of tobacco is provided. The apparatus includes a tobacco chamber for storing cured tobacco leaves for conditioning; and an air processing facility which includes: a ventilation system for creating an airflow through the apparatus, wherein said airflow is drawn into the air processing facility, passes from the air processing facility into the tobacco chamber, and subsequently exits the apparatus; a heater for adding heat to the airflow; and a humidity generator for adding moisture to the airflow.

Methods for storing and preserving cannabis or cannabis-containing substances using container assemblies are disclosed. An exemplary container assembly includes a lid and a container body. The lid is configured to be closed onto the container body over an opening of the container body. The opening provides access to an interior space having a product compartment configured to store product. The assembly also includes a humectant compartment permanently secured within the assembly. The humectant compartment includes a rigid housing containing a humectant solution. The rigid housing is configured within the assembly to prevent leaking of the humectant solution into the product compartment while facilitating bidirectional transmission of moisture between the humectant compartment and the product compartment. The humectant solution regulates relative humidity of the product compartment to maintain the relative humidity at a predetermined level.
