Systems and methods for medicinal cannabis harvesting

A system for cannabis stem harvesting configured to specifically separate the leaves and buds from the stem comprising:

• a frame member;
• a die member coupled to the frame member, wherein the die member includes a plurality of orifices disposed within a plate;
• a first rotating cylindrical member coupled to the frame member substantially adjacent to the die member including a first circumferential surface disposed between two ends;
• a second rotating member coupled to the frame member substantially adjacent to the die member including a second circumferential surface disposed between two ends;
• wherein the two rotating members are oriented and supported by the frame member in a substantially vertical configuration defining a pinch region therebetween as a region across which the first and second circumferential surfaces are in the closest proximity to one another, wherein the coupling between the die member and the frame member includes orienting the plurality of orifices with respect to the pinch region;
• and
• a variable rotation system including a motor and power source coupled to the frame member and at least one of the first and second rotating members, wherein the rotation system is configured to rotate at least one of the first and second rotating members at a selectable rotation speed between ten and two hundred and fifty linear feet per minute, wherein the unit of linear feet per minute corresponds to at least one of the first and second circumferential surface with respect to the plurality of orifices.

A system for cannabis stem harvesting configured to specifically separate the leaves and buds from the stem comprising:

• a frame member;
• a die member coupled to the frame member, wherein the die member includes a plurality of orifices disposed within a plate, wherein the plurality of orifices include both circular and non-circular openings under two inches in diameter;
• a first rotating cylindrical member coupled to the frame member substantially adjacent to the die member including a first circumferential surface disposed between two ends;
• a second rotating member coupled to the frame member substantially adjacent to the die member including a second circumferential surface disposed between two ends;
• wherein the two rotating members are oriented and supported by the frame member in a substantially vertical configuration defining a pinch region therebetween as a region across which the first and second circumferential surfaces are in the closest proximity to one another, wherein the coupling between the die member and the frame member includes disposing the plurality of orifices within six inches of the pinch region, wherein the first and second cylindrical members include a cross sectional diameter between three and twelve inches;
• and
• a variable rotation system including a motor and power source coupled to the frame member and at least one of the first and second rotating members, wherein the rotation system is configured to rotate at least one of the first and second rotating members at a selectable rotation speed between ten and two hundred and fifty linear feet per minute, wherein the unit of linear feet per minute corresponds to at least one of the first and second circumferential surface with respect to the plurality of orifices;
• and
• wherein the rotation system is configured to rotate only one of the first and second rotating members as a drive rotating member, and wherein the first and second rotating members are coupled at the pinch region thereby causing an automatic dependent rotation of the non-drive rotating member as a follow rotating member.
