Abstract:
1. A method for producing a topical ointment composition comprising an effective amount of high-purity trichomes from cannabis flower trimmings, the method comprising: a. adding cannabis flower trimmings to ice water to at least cover the cannabis flower trimmings, wherein the cannabis flower trimmings contain trichomes; b. soaking and agitating the cannabis flower trimmings in the ice water for a sufficient time to allow at least some of the trichomes to separate from the cannabis flower trimmings; c. filtering the ice water mixture obtained in step b through a series of mesh screens of progressively smaller mesh and discarding the plant material that collects on the first mesh screen and removing the trichomes that collect on the remaining screens; d. placing the trichomes into a fine mesh sieve and pressing the trichomes through the fine mesh sieve onto a flat surface and spreading the trichomes as thinly as possible on the flat surface; e. drying and curing the trichomes in a cool, dry, dark environment for at least 2 weeks; f. grading and separating the trichomes into high- and low-purity sections, wherein the trichomes in the high-purity sections are ready for medical use; g. pulverizing or grinding up the high-purity trichomes and adding a sufficient amount of cream thereto to produce said topical ointment.
