CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefit of Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 401,824 with a filing date of Aug. 19, 2010 Medicinal Cannabis in a Fatty Foodstuff, and patent application Ser. No. 13 / 065,980 filing date 04 / 04 / Medicinal Cannabis Fatty Foodstuff in a Package Mold.FEDERAL SUPPORT STATEMENT[0002]Not ApplicableSEQUENCE LISTING[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Raw cannabis contains tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid (THC-COOH); this substance is also referred to as THC acid, Δ9-THC acid, THCA-A, or THCA.[0005]The article that appears in the Journal of Chromatography “Innovative development and validation of an HPLC / DAD method for the qualitative determination of major cannabinoids in cannabis plant material” reference [1], see section 1.1; this article reports that THC-B is another form of THC acid that appears only in trace amounts in raw cannabis. This article also reports other substances in raw cannabis, inclu...

Problems solved by technology

Other processes have been used to extract Δ9-THC from raw cannabis in uncontrolled ways, some of these processes use toxic materials and others do not; frequently such processes attempt to produce a final product in a single uncontrolled crude step.

Cannabis infused dairy butter can be made by melting dairy butter in a pot, adding raw cannabis and cooking the mixture for a period of time, up to 24 hours.Hashish may be made without the use of toxic chemicals, “How to Made Wicked Hash” by Lisa Scammel and Bianca Sind [17] reviews various methods for separating THC acid infused trichomes from cannabis plant materials, forming it into blocks that are then covered in paper, and then heated in fry pan until the blocks melt; the processes reviewed are uncontrolled, and have no scientific controls, they include: “Flat Screening”, “Drum Machines”, “the blender method”, and “ice-water filtration” methods are reviewed.

This disclosure also shows some disdain for laws relating to cannabis as a controlled substance.Smoking, in the form of a cigarette or pipe, is the most frequently used uncontrolled process for decarboxylating cannabis.The processes discussed above that rely on temperature simply use temperature yet do not control temperature; if the temperature is too low decarboxylation will be incomplete, if temperatures are too high decarboxylated substances within cannabis will be lost to evaporation.

These products are made without scientific controls by small producers because pharmaceutical companies do not produce edible cannabis products.

Each one of these individual edible products have limitations the most significant one is uncontrolled dosage, cookies or biscuits contain cannabis fiber that often makes them green in color, and dairy products such as dairy butter spoil at room temperature.
