Abstract
The invention provides a method of manufacturing and packaging a room temperature stable cannabinoid dosage in an oil-based carrier, wherein the method employs the use of blister packaging and an inert gas atmosphere during blister packaging. The invention also provides a room temperature stable cannabinoid dosage prepared by the methods of the invention.
Claims18
A method of manufacturing and packaging a cannabinoid dosage, said method comprising packaging said dosage in a closed packaging system to provide a room temperature stable product.
A method of manufacturing and packaging a cannabinoid dosage, said method comprising the following steps:
- a) preparing a fill solution with a desired concentration of a cannabinoid, comprising the following steps:
- i) heating an oil-based carrier in a first container to 40° C. and above under normal atmospheric conditions or vacuum or an inert gas;
- ii) heating a cannabinoid in a second container under vacuum or inert atmosphere until said cannabinoid liquefies to produce a liquefied cannabinoid;
- iii) transferring said liquefied cannabinoid from said second container to said first container;
- iv) mixing said liquefied cannabinoid with said oil-based carrier until a solution becomes homogenous;
- v) adjusting the amount of said oil-based carrier to arrive at said desired cannabinoid concentration;
- b) encapsulating said fill solution in capsules;
- and
- c) packaging said capsules in blister units under an inert gas atmosphere.
A cannabinoid composition comprising a cannabinoid dosage packaged in a closed packaging system enabling the dosage to remain room temperature stable for at least one year.
