A method of purifying cannabis derived terpenes includes first providing cannabis material having a detectable amount of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), adding a solvent to the cannabis material, spinning the cannabis material in a centrifuge to separate crystallized THCA from a high terpene extract. Decarboxilating the THCA with heat to yield tetrahydrocannabinol. The high terpene extract is deposited into a vacuum oven to reduce pressure and volatilize terpenes from the high terpene extract. Next the terpenes are pumped into a cold trap to condense terpenes from the high terpene extract. Next, the condensed terpenes are cooled at a temperature between −50° C. and 0° C. to remove water from the condensed terpenes and yield purified terpenes. The purified terpenes are applied to an edible food product containing decarboxylated tetrahydrocannabinol. In an alternate embodiment, the tetrahydrocannabinol and the purified terpenes are combined or recombined and mixed directly into a precooked edible food product.

Systems and methods for removing sulfur from a cannabis product are provided. The method includes dissolving, in a solvent, the cannabis product including sulfur, forming a dissolved solution, and mixing an oxidation agent into the dissolved solution, causing the dissolved solution to form into a plurality of solutions. The plurality of solutions include a water solution and an organic solution, the water solution includes sulfur, and the organic solution includes the cannabis product. The method further includes removing the water solution from the plurality of solutions.

The present invention provides for a method for obtaining an oil extract of cannabis. The method includes: (a) contacting cannabis biomass and an edible oil; (b) pressing between a pair of plates to provide spent cannabis and an oil extract of cannabis; and (c) separating the spent cannabis biomass and the oil extract of cannabis.

The present invention is related to a topical pharmaceutical composition and cosmetic composition comprising a combined herb extract of Longanae Arillus,Ligustici Tenuissimi Rhizomaand Polygalae radix as an active ingredient to treat and alleviate skin ulcer.

A method for producing full spectrum hemp extract comprising extracting substances from cannabis-based green material that are soluble in an extraction solvent and collecting an extract that includes the extraction solvent distilling at least a portion of the extraction solvent which results in a concentrate that is not distilled off, removing at least a portion of water soluble substances from the concentrate by partitioning the at least a portion of water soluble substances into an aqueous phase and a remainder of substances from the concentrate into a partitioned concentrate, heating the partitioned concentrate to evaporate the nonpolar solvent and to yield a crude oil, degassing the crude oil by heating it which results in a degassed crude oil, performing a first pass distillation at about 150° C. and collecting a first residue, performing a second and third pass distillation at about 170° C. and about 185° C., and collecting a distillate from same.
