REGULATORY COMPLIANT METHOD TO GROW, HARVEST AND PRODUCE INDUSTRIAL
MILLED HEMP SEED AND DERIVATIVE FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS FOR HUMAN AND
VETERINARY USE

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The following invention relates generally to the field of methods to allow regulatory compliance when growing, processing, distributing and selling Industrial Hemp Seed ( low delta 9 THC Cannabis Sativa ) As food, nutraceutical, food supplements, dietary supplements, natural health products, cosmetic or animal feed (or the equivalent class in any country this patent is registered in) .

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

Over the last 30 years public , consumer and commercial food, supplement , cosmetic and pharmaceutical interests have shown interest in developing products and markets for cannabis based foods, supplements, cosmetics and medicinals made from Industrial Hemp.

The body of science supporting human and animal applications for Cannabis Sativa and Industrial Hemp range from, but are not limited to, pain relief, appetite management, inflammation, immune dysfunction, silent and active biological-physiological manifestations of inflammation, complex metabolic syndromes, neurological conditions including migranes and convulsions, cancers, alzheimers disease, glaucoma and the oxidative stress driven non-specific systemic phenomenon known commonly as the aging process.

Marijuana refers to varieties of Cannabis Sativa having a high level of delta 9-tetra hydro cannabinol (THC) content as individually defined and detailed in and regulated by law and regulation in national jurisdictions.
THC is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana whereas Industrial Hemp refers to varieties and production methods for growing and processing the cannabis plant in which the finished product has a low enough THC
content to allow classification as Industrial hemp.

There is vigorous discussion regarding how the medicinally functional components of hemp are to be delivered e.i. food, nutritional supplement, natural health product, cosmetic, drug or animal feed [F/NS/NHP/C/Rx/AF] . This invention relates to making medicinal F/FS/NHP/C/AF
Industrial hemp in a regulatorily compliant manner for widespread use as a F/FS/NHPor AF. Those with experience in the art may also recognize the extension of this invention to cover end use for Industrial Hemp materials to be used to produce pharmaceuticals as well. This invention does not apply in any way whatsoever to any "smoked"
uses for Industrial hemp.

It is noted that delta 9 THC is one of 60 or more bi- and tri- cyclic compounds named cannabinoids.
These natural comounds usually contain 1,1'-di-methyl-pyrane ring, a variedly dervatized aromatic ring and a variedly unsaturated cyclohexyl ring, and include for example the non-psychoactive cannabinol, cannabidiol and cannbinolic acid. Industrial hemp also contains 400 other compounds including terpenes of which Beta Caryophyllene is noted to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant and phase 2 enzyme inducing properties.
Together with the omega 3 oils and arginine protein these compounds have been suggested to contribute to some of the beneficial effects of cannabis such as cell protection, anti-cancer , immune modulation, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as support fro general nutritional anti-aging and anti-stress biophysiological activities.

It has been suggested that non delta. 9 THC compounds have the same cellular receptors as delta 9 THC but due to structural differences, do not have the same psychogenic side effects.

When Industrial hemp is marketed as a ground seed, it can be readily be sold as a food, Food Supplement, Natural Health Product or nutraceutical or animal feed.

Clearly a process which allows the seed to be grown, harvested and processed to retain all the plant's medicinally active properties involves knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological properties of hemp, plant management husbandry, harvesting and processing technology as well as knowledge of regulatory compliance issues in order to maintain primary regulatory compliance for Industrial hemp Seed and its final fmished derivatives and consumer products to fall within the scope of food, natural health products, food supplement, Cosmetic, Nutraceutical or Feed jurisdiction unless otherwise stated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to the first aspect of the invention there is provided a method (standard operating procedure or SOP) for growing and harvesting and processing industrial hemp.

1- Cutting the crop manually or with a machine to make a swath, air drying the whole plant until the moisture level of the stalk, leaves, bracts and seeds are low enough to permit separation of the stalks from the other plant materials by a manual or mechanical harvesting method.
2- Cutting the standing crop with a mechanical harvester and separation of the stalk followed by a secondary preservation method including but not limited to flash feezing or aeration with or without additional heat in order to bring down moisture level sufficiently to allow for long term storage at ambient temperatures with optional refrigeration to optimize the preservation process.
3- The crop is to be harvested at a growth stage at which the seeds have formed to the extent that there is sufficient seed mass in the bud or head such that the gross harvested materials leaving the field have 50% or more oilseed "meat" by weight , the balance being materials originating as leaf or bract. This material is thus considered to be partially or wholly ground /milled seed.

ti
4- The harvesting method begins the milling process in the field by combining the seed and plant biomass into a homogeneous mixture comprised of no less than 50% oilseed "meat" by weight. The seed may be only partially milled when it leaves the field so must be inspected and may be subjected to a second milling at the storage location to ensure that no intact or viable seeds remain and that the seed leaving storage for further processing is comprised of 100% milled, ground and broken material prior to use to produce any food, natural health product, food supplement, nutraceutical or cosmetic product or animal feed or are subjected to any additional processing applications.
5- Those skilled in the art will also recognize that this processing method preserves and protects from oxidation and preserves the integrity of the unstable omega 3 oils found in industrial hemp seed by impregnating the milled seed with antioxidant hemp phytochemicals including but not limited to caryophyllene and cannabidiol.

The second aspect of this invention is to recognize that industrial hemp seed grown, harvested and milled using the SOP described in Aspect 1 is recognized by the regulators of most countries as equivalent to "hemp oilseed meal" or "milled hemp seed" as it does not contain prohibited quantities of THC and thus is not a controlled drug or substance but is a human or animal feed, food, natural health product, food supplement.
Nutraceutical or cosmetic.

The third aspect of this invention is the ability to produce a milled hemp seed from which to further process, extract or modify physical or chemical characteristics by processing by food/animal feed/natural health product/food supplement/cosmetic processing methods which utilize the anti-oxidant properties of cannabis plant bioactives (e.i. cannabidiol or caryophyllene) to preserve and protect the integrity of the oxidatively unstable omega 3 oil portion of the milled seed.

The fourth aspect of the invention is that the seed or derivatives of process may be handled/shipped/stored as a feed, food, food supplement, natural health product, nutraceutical , cosmetic or animal feed ingredient and further processed into wide variety of prepared foods, feeds, extracts, cosmetics or compounded into formulations classed as food supplements, natural health products, nutraceuticals or cosmetics including ones which may be eligible for drug or IND (investigational new drug) status in the USA or the equivalent in other jurisdictions and that such processed products have physiologically functional activity unique and distinct from milled hemp seed grown, harvested or processed not using the embodiments of this invention.

Claims (6)

LIST OF CLAIMS:
1. A method of preparing a ground low THC cannabis (hemp) seed comprising:
harvesting hemp composed of seed and chaff and herbaceous plant materials ; grinding the hempseed and chaff and herbaceous plant materials at the harvesting stage (e.g. within the cylinder of the combine harvester) ; completing the grinding process by re-grinding the seed until no viable whole seed remains prior to use in a saleable processed product.
2. A method of using husbandry and agricultural agronomic practices which include selection of cannabis varieties , fertilizers, herbicides, growth adjuvants and stimulators and foliar and soil amendments known by the inventor and those skilled in the art of farming in order to create a plant which when harvested using the inventors method of setting the harvester to break the seeds yields at harvest at a plant growth stage at which a ground seed comprised of more than 50 percent oilseed meal and less than 50 percent chaff and herbaceous plant materials is captured by the harvester.
3. A method of using phytochemicals found in the hemp chaff and herbaceous plant materials to act as a natural preservative of the ground oilseed material to reduce the rate at which oxidative degradation (rancidity) occurs by milling the grain as part of the primary grain harvesting process.
4. Since , if the herbaceous plant materials leave the field separate from the seed they are deemed to be marijuana in many jurisdictions, a method has been devised to incorporate the medicinal chemistry of cannabis herbaceous plant materials into all applications in which ground hempseed can be used ; therefore by rendering the seed and herbaceous material a homogenous ground material during the primary harvest step the material that leaves the field is deemed to be a seed grain.
5. The harvesting method renders the hemp material described herein once ground to be extremely difficult to separate into its component parts, thus this invention thus creates a ground hempseed with unique chemistry and medicinal applications which can not be duplicated in any other manner within the regulatory schemes for cannabis in all countries which regulate hemp as a form of legally available low THC marijuana.
6. The method can be utilized for all species of cannabis including those classed as marijuana so long as this is done in a manner acceptable to law and regulation in the jurisdiction in which this product is created and marketed.
