My name is David Harold Moore and I am the inventor of the ‘Smokeless Cannabis Hemp’ process. I have suffered from a High Functioning form of Autism, known as Asperger's Syndrome, since I was born. The autism caused the dysregulation of my endocannabinoid immune system, which caused the auto-immune disorder known as Celiac Disease, which then turned into stomach cancer. And only after going into renal failure, did I begin to look for a solution.
Then I read a recent study from the Biomedical Center for Autism Research and Treatment, which suggests the CB2 receptor as a potential therapeutic target for the cannabis-hemp infused coconut-oil. This study was the first to demonstrate the up-regulation of CB2 receptors in autistic endocannabinoid systems.
The CB2 receptor enhancements demonstrate that the endocannabinoid system is involved in the maintenance of autism. According to the findings, the endocannabinoid system may represent a novel treatment opportunity for cannabis therapy with autistic minds. And that's because the up-regulation of the CB2 receptors enhances the peripheral organs ability to manage the immune system. And endocannabinoid signaling, in general, affects learning, pain, and other important regenerative processes.
You see, the endocannabinoid system is an intricate network of endocannabinoids, their receptors, and the associated enzymes; and all play critical roles in maintaining the body's homeostasis. And our biochemical homeostasis is unique to each one of us. It is therefore important to note, that in most cases, scientists make decisions based on evidence gained from an experiment with extensive controls. But the differences in cannabinoid composition, varies from batch to batch, thus making cannabis-hemp experiments too organic for scientific rigidity.
So I needed to find a healthy and inexpensive way to make a nutritional Cannabis-Hemp food grade dietary supplement. A daily dietary supplement that was all natural and healthy, a capsule with little to no psychoactivity, and a capsule that could be taken in large quantities without harmful side effects. But there were no commercial products that would meet my needs.
Then I began experimenting with different ingredients and different heating methods. This process took about two years before I came up with a novel, non-obvious and useful method to process the Cannabis-Hemp plant into a food grade dietary supplement.
And this novel, non-obvious and useful method is a process based upon the different pressings of the raw and cooked cannabis-hemp plant, combined with various fats, to produce different amalgams that holistically synergize to create the wholesome food product, and nutritional dietary supplement, called ‘Cannabis-Hemp Paste’ (U.S. patent Ser. No. 14/969,497).
So after applying for the ‘Cannabis Hemp Paste Patent’, I started researching more about the endocannabinoid system, and found out that all of the animals on this planet also have an endocannabinoid system. Then I had another ‘crystallization moment’, where I realized that the cannabis-hemp plant must be decarboxylated by using my previously discovered methods, so our livestock could also realize the efficacy of the cannabis-hemp plant.
I then delved into animal suffering, animal feed, and animal antibiotics; and realized that the ‘Cannabis-Hemp Animal Feed’, if processed correctly, could reduce animal suffering, could reduce the need for animal antibiotics, and could reduce the need to cultivate so much arable farmland, to feed our livestock with.
Following the patent application for the ‘Cannabis-Hemp Animal Feed’ (U.S. patent Ser. No. 15/080,526), I started focusing on how to use the Cannabis-Hemp Plant for addiction recovery. And I began to read about how the Cannabis-Hemp Plant can help people with Heroin Addiction.
So I then extrapolated that understanding with the idea that the Cannabis-Hemp Plant could help people relieve their Tobacco Smoking addiction, and their Nicotine Chemical addiction. So I then came up with a blended recipe that could stand as a substitute for Tobacco Cigarettes, while at the same time, weaning the user off-of their Nicotine addiction.
I then started researching various herbs, flavorings, and chemicals that would help create a smooth and impactful Tobacco Replacement. And here is where I found out that the average Tobacco Cigarettes is filled with a majority of chemicals and fillers. In fact, the average Tobacco Cigarette has approximately 600 ingredients. And when burned, they create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are poisonous.
Chemicals like:
Then I started to see why my Grandfather died of Lung Cancer, and I started to see why my friends could never quit smoking the chemically enhanced Tobacco Smoking Products. Then I started to realize, that for this deadly process to cease, we had to come up with a way for people to satisfy their cravings for the effects and rituals acquired during their Tobacco Smoking addiction. Meaning, we still had to provide the ritual of smoking, and we had to add various ingredients to enhance, smooth-out, and magnify the smoking experience, while also remembering to pre-decarboxylate the various cannabinoids found in the processed Cannabis-Hemp Plant.
So Mint Leaves, Peppermint Leaves, Orange Peel Oil, Mullen, Processed Cannabis Hemp Flowers, and Decarboxylated Cannabis-Hemp Flowers, along with the dried Cannabis-Hemp Leaves, were incorporated into the original recipe.
The Cannabis-Hemp Flowers were be dried, cured, and flavored for the smoothest smoking experience; the Mint and Peppermint Leaves reduced the pungent odor of the burning cannabis-hemp while providing a pleasant taste; the dried Hemp Leaves, while providing more terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids; the Mullen acted as an smoothing agent and expectorant; the lemon balm acted as a sedative while providing various terpenes and flavonoids; the dried orange peel in the packaging made for a longer-lasting flavor while providing enhanced smoothness, and the various nicotine levels helped people wean people off-of their nicotine-addiction in a more comfortable manner.
The ‘Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp’ process is a novel, non-obvious and useful method to transform the Cannabis-Hemp Plant into an effective Tobacco Replacement.
*Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds . . .
Briefly described, in its preferred form, the present invention provides a method for preparing a commercially inexpensive way to produce a high quality Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp. The present process preferably comprises the following steps:
A cannabis-hemp smokeless product at ambient temperature is the preferred initial smokeless product for the present process. That is, the most desirable final Smokeless Cannabis Hemp begins with a raw product in the beginning of the process. While an initially raw/fresh initial product is preferred, the present process can accommodate an initial smokeless product that has been frozen and dried, that is above or below ambient temperature, and that has already been dehumidified.
The heat-cooking temperature, and the time period the product stays within the cooking chamber, can be adjusted for the various decarboxylation processes, that the present invention is designed to handle. Each component step of the present invention can similarly be adjusted. Some of the adjustments can be incorporated by simply manipulating heat times, and heat temperatures.
The preferable heat-cooking steps may comprise only one dry heat cooking step, multiple dry heat-cooking steps, and/or dry heat-cooking step(s) with applied chemicals and flavorings. Yet if the product is not cooked with heat, the final product lacks the amount of decarboxylated cannabinoids of the heat-cooked product. If the product is only heated without drying and curing, and without the multiple heat cooking steps, the process will produce an inferior product.
In the conventional processing methods, the process incorporates only using the dried and cured flowers from the Cannabis-Hemp Plant, And none of the heat cooked Cannabis-Hemp Flowers. One of the problems with this conventional process is that by using only processed cannabinoids (not heat-cooked flowers), the consumer won't realize the full efficacy of the decarboxylated cannabinoids.
In the present process, the chemicals and flavoring are added after convection cooking for the first time, and a processed portion of the final smokeless product is never heated so as to preserve the naturally occurring terpenes, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Thus, the product retains its full compliment of healthy ingredients because differently processed plant materials are added throughout the various blending steps; to create both the enhanced, and superior product, known as the ‘Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp’.
If the smokeless product is too hot at any point in the process, then many of the cannabinoids will be lost. If the smokeless product is too cool during the heat-cooking process, then the cannabinoids won't decarboxylate and the product won't be as effective.
Unlike the conventional processes, the present invention combines both processed and cooked aspects of the cannabis-hemp plant, to the final Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp. Thus upon smoking, the biochemical affects can help upregulate the endocannabinoid immune system, which then helps provide a biochemical homeostasis, which can then help us self-heal through a daily healthful regimen.
The present invention enables a single location to process, cure, store, cook and package the ‘Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp’ in large quantities. Therefore, each retail outlet can eliminate any reliance upon, and the capital expense for, third party quality certifications. They need simply to refer them to the publicly published materials, and the transparent process, being shared by the current patent application owner.
Finally, the novel and useful ‘Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp’ process, utilizes several steps in the production of the final ‘Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp’. Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a commercial process for preparing of an affordable Smokeless Cannabis Hemp that can be used regularly, and with no harmful side effects.
The present invention provides a commercial process for preparing Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp. The process produces both a processed, heat-cooked, and enhanced smokeless product that can be processed and placed into an inhalation vessel of any type.
To process the ‘Smokeless Cannabis-Hemp’, the steps include:
