Abstract
A method for modifying THC content in a lipid-based extract of cannabis to yield a low-THC product. The method includes providing a lipid-based extract of cannabis containing THC, heating the lipid-based extract at 1 atm of pressure to 157 to 160° C. to vaporize a first portion of the THC, and converting a second portion of the THC to CBN by heating the lipid-based extract to between 130° C.-150° C. for at least 10 min.

A method for reducing the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol content in coconut oil infused with cannabis containing cannabinoids to yield a low-trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol product, comprising:
- providing coconut oil infused with cannabis containing cannabinoids containing trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol;
- heating the coconut oil infused with cannabis containing cannabinoids to 157 to 160° C. to vaporize a first portion of the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol;
- converting a second portion of the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol to cannabinol using pressurized ozone bubbled through the coconut oil to oxidize the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol into cannabinol, and
- wherein the low trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol product contains less than 1 mg of trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per ml.
A method for reducing the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol content in a lipid-based extract of cannabis to yield a low-trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol content in the cannabis, comprising:
- providing a lipid-based extract of cannabis containing trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol;
- heating the lipid-based extract to 157 to 160° C. to vaporize a first portion of the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol;
- and
- converting a second portion of the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol to cannabinol by heating the lipid-based extract to between 130° C.-150° C. and bubbling ozone through the second portion of the trans-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
