Abstract:
A cannabidiol extraction and conversion process includes an extraction process including a sizing unit wherein raw  Cannabis  plant material is reduced to a uniform size, a blending unit wherein an extraction solvent is blended together with the  Cannabis  plant material to form an initial extract, and a primary solvent exchange rotary evaporator unit wherein an exchange solvent is added to the initial extract, and a processed extract rich in cannabidiol is obtained. A conversion process includes a conversion rotary reflux unit wherein the processed extract is combined and processed with an acidic component, a separator unit wherein a solvent is added and a separator organic effluent is obtained, a secondary solvent exchange rotary evaporator unit wherein a further solvent is added, and a fractionation unit wherein the tetrahydrocannabinol obtained is separated into a plurality of functional fractions for selective blending.

Claim (Index 10):
A cannabidiol conversion process for a processed extract comprising cannabidiol in ethanol and dichloromethane, comprising:\n mixing an amount of concentrated sulfuric acid with an amount of the processed extract in a conversion rotary reflux unit and refluxing therein to obtain a conversion reflux, combining an amount of dichloromethane with the conversion reflux in a separator unit, removing a solvent layer consisting primarily of dichloromethane and ethanol from the separator unit and leaving a separator organic effluent remaining therein, combining the separator organic effluent with an amount of ethanol in a secondary solvent exchange rotary evaporator unit wherein dichloromethane and ethanol are at least partially evaporated off to produce an exchange reflux which comprises tetrahydrocannabinol in ethanol and dichloromethane.
