Abstract
The disclosure relates to decarboxylated cannabis resins and methods of making the decarboxylated cannabis resins by extraction and decarboxylation of cannabinoids from Cannabis species using microwaves and solvents. The disclosure also relates to use of the decarboxylated cannabis resins for making pharmaceutical products comprising same.
Claims20
A decarboxylated cannabis resin, wherein the resin comprises decarboxylated cannabinoids from a Cannabis spp. plant, such that Δ9-tetrahydrocannabidiolic acid (Δ9-THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) cannabinoids in the plant are each independently 90% to 100% decarboxylated to yield Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) respectively in the resin.
A method of extracting and decarboxylating cannabinoids from cannabis plant material, the method comprising:
- (i) extracting cannabinoids from the cannabis plant material by contacting the cannabis plant material with a solvent to extract cannabinoids from the cannabis plant material, the extract of cannabis comprising the solvent and cannabinoids;
- and
- (ii) decarboxylating the cannabinoids in (a) the plant material and (b) the extract comprising cannabinoids by subjecting the plant material and extract to microwaves at temperature of about 100-200° C. in a sealed container or sealed vessel and for a time period sufficient to form the corresponding decarboxylated cannabinoids in the extract.
