Method for chemical separation of cannabinoids
A method for chemical separation of cannabinoids includes: (i) providing a starting organic solvent solution that contains a mixture of cannabinoid acids, (ii) using an aqueous basic solution to remove a portion of the cannabinoid acids from the mixture of cannabinoid acids in the starting organic solvent solution by converting the portion of the cannabinoid acids to cannabinoid carboxylate salts that solubilize in the an aqueous basic solution, (iii) separating the aqueous basic solution in (ii) from the starting organic solvent, (iv) combining the aqueous solution from (iii) with new organic solvent to produce a combined solution, (v) acidifying the combined solution to extract the cannabinoid acids from the aqueous solution to the organic solvent, (vi) separating the organic solvent of (v) from the aqueous solution, and (vii) evaporating the organic solvent of (vi) to leave product cannabinoid acids.
Cannabis products modified by removing volatile organic compounds and adding volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons
Purified and modified Cannabis products and methods for producing the same. The purified Cannabis product comprises substantially no volatile organic compounds while retaining Total Potential cannabinoid content. The modified Cannabis product comprises a purified Cannabis product modified by at least one added volatile unsaturated hydrocarbon. The modified Cannabis product is formed by extracting a volatile organic compound from a Cannabis raw material to form a purified Cannabis product, and then adding the at least one volatile unsaturated hydrocarbon to the purified Cannabis product to form the modified Cannabis product and cause an enhanced user experience during combustion and inhalation of the modified Cannabis product.
