A method for making an oral dosage form selected from the group consisting of a candy, a chocolate, a cookie, a popsicle, a protein shake powder, a beverage, a beer, a soft drink, an alcoholic beverage, a gummy and a milkshake, the method consisting essentially of non-covalently binding a cannabinoid to a whey protein, consisting essentially of dissolving the cannabinoid in ethanol to form an ethanol solution;
- and then combining the ethanol solution with an aqueous whey protein to form a cannabinoid-protein complex which is then combined with at least one other excipient to form the dosage form, wherein the complex formed between the cannabinoid and the whey protein is performed using nanoprecipitation or emulsification.
The method according to 18, wherein the cannabinoid-protein complex has a ratio of cannabinoid to protein of between 0.008 to 1 and 1.2 to 1.
