Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods and compositions for providing shatter formulations taking the form of crystalline polymorphs, where methods of preparation include preparing tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA) powder followed by decarboxylating THCA and removal of terpenes.

Claim (Index 1):
A mortar and pestle method for preparing a protoshatter formulation, wherein the protoshatter formulation is made from an amorphous tetrahydrocannabinoic acid (THCA) powder, the method comprising:\n (i) Combining decolorized THCA powder with a terpene blend; (ii) Mixing and compounding the decolorized THCA powder and terpene blend to produce a hard, sticky paste; (iii) Transferring the hard, sticky paste to a first sheet of flexible substrate; (iv) Folding the flexible substrate in half to form an envelope, wherein the hard, sticky paste is at least substantially enclosed by the envelope; (v) Melting the hard, sticky paste on a heated surface to form a first at least partially melted product; (vi) Compressing the envelope that contains the hard, sticky paste that is at least partially melted to form a thin sheet of at least partially melted hard, sticky paste; (vii) Cooling the thin sheet of the at least partially melted hard, sticky paste to form a thin sheet of the first at least partially melted hard, sticky paste, wherein the first at least partially melted hard, sticky paste is the product; (viii) Opening the flexible substrate to reveal a thin sheet of product; (ix) Folding the thin sheet of product over on itself allowing it to cohere, and to produce a folded sheet of product, and detaching the folded sheet of product from the substrate; (x) Transferring the folded sheet of product to a second sheet of flexible substrate, and folding the second sheet of flexible substrate in half to form an envelope, wherein the product is at least substantially enclosed in the envelope; (xi) At least partially melting the product contained in the second sheet of flexible substrate (second melting) to form a second at least partially melted product, compressing the envelope that contains the second at least partially melted product, and opening the flexible substrate; and (xii) Cooling the paste, removing the paste from the envelope, heating the paste with a heat gun causing it to form a glassy product.
