Claim 0:
1. A method of preparing a cannabinoid infused lipid composition:
a) providing cannabis;
b) decarboxylating the cannabis by heating the cannabis to a temperature from 180° F. to 280° F., for a time which ensures that at least 90% conversion of one or more acid cannabinoids in the cannabis are converted to their neutral form, while ensuring that the thermal degradation of THC to CBN is less than 10% and wherein the cannabis has no more than 10% moisture to yield a decarboxylated cannabis;
c) contacting an organic solvent with the decarboxylated cannabis, wherein the organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, and mixtures thereof;
d) extracting at least one bioactive molecule from the decarboxylated cannabis into the organic solvent, thereby producing a cannabis extract;
e) contacting the cannabis extract with a lipid compound selected from the group consisting of dairy butters, canola oil, cocoa butter, coconut oil, corn oil, ghee, lard, nut butters, nut oils, olive oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oils, and mixtures thereof; and
f) infusing at least one bioactive molecule from the cannabis extract into the lipid compound via a pressure infusion vessel, thereby producing a cannabinoid-infused lipid composition.
