Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to vaporizable compositions.
  • the present disclosure relates to compositions comprising terpenes in a diamond construction and optionally at least one cannabinoid, wherein the compositions are suitable for recreational and/or therapeutic uses. Methods of making and using said compositions are also encompassed by the present disclosure.
  • Vaporizable cannabinoid products are expected to grow in popularity due to the existing and/or expected legalization of these product forms in Canada and other countries (e.g., United States) globally. It is desirable to enhance the vaping experience by providing a specific aroma profile.
  • the formulator may wish to recreate a specific aromatic profile that is typically associated with the cannabis strain (e.g., earthy and piney aroma for OG Kush). Ideally, the recreated aroma profile will be perceived as being authentic to the aroma profile from the cannabis strain.
  • the formulator may, for example, wish to enhance the user experience by providing a specific fragrance character (e.g., fruity, spicy or green) that may be different from what is typically associated with that cannabis strain.
  • the formulator may wish to enhance the longevity and/or fidelity (i.e. , consistency) to a specific aroma profile preferably over the lifetime of the composition in use.
  • Cannabis can produce anywhere from about 100 to about 140 different terpenes, each of which may contribute to the distinctive blend of terpenes responsible for imparting the distinctive aroma profile for every cannabis strain (see Hillig 2004, “A chemotaxonomic analysis of terpenoid variation in Cannabis”, Biochem System and Ecology, 875-891).
  • a myrcene dominant aroma profile may be used to classify the profile that may in fact contain 16 other terpenes. As a result, these approaches could be considered misleading. Also, due to the somewhat subjective nature of aroma character identification, there has been no universal convention for objectively classifying and effectively formulating terpenes into blends that would impart a specific aroma profile consistently.
  • the inventors have developed a set of rules for objectively classifying terpenes according to their volatility for the purpose of formulating terpene mixtures, preferably complex mixtures having a unique diamond construction.
  • the new rules operate irrespective of formulators performing the formulation.
  • the new rules objectively classify the terpenes into low, moderate or high volatile terpene materials for formulating into terpene mixtures, particularly ones having a diamond construction.
  • a composition comprising a terpene component comprising: (a) at least one low volatile terpene having a vapor pressure less than about 0.005 Torr (0.000667 kPa) at 25°C present in an amount of from about 5 wt.% to about 37 wt.% relative to the total weight of the terpene component; (b) at least one moderate volatile terpene having a vapor pressure in the range of about 2.300 Torr (0.307 kPa) to about 0.005 Torr (0.000667 kPa) at 25°C present in an amount of from about 40 wt.% to about 94 wt.% relative to the total weight of the terpene component; and (c) at least one high volatile terpene having a vapor pressure greater than about 2.300 Torr (0.307 kPa) at 25°C present in an amount of from about 1 wt.% to about 23 wt.% relative to the total weight of the terpene component
  • Figure 1 is a diagram of a terpene diamond construction for enhancing an entourage effect in a user according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • aroma profile means the description of how the aroma is perceived by the consumer at any moment in time. It is a result of the combination of the low, moderate and high volatile terpenes, if present, of an aroma.
  • An aroma profile is composed of two characteristics: “intensity” and “character”. The “intensity” relates to the perceived strength whilst “character” refers to the odour impression or quality of the aroma (e.g., fruity, floral, woody, etc.).
  • the “composition” of the present invention refers to a liquid, solid, or semi solid composition (e.g., distillate, extract, etc.) comprising an effective amount of a terpene formulation to enhance the effect of the cannabinoid to deliver the desired user experience profile.
  • the cannabinoid may be provided separately from or included in the composition of the present invention. In some embodiments, this involves recreating a known user experience associated with a specific cannabis strain based on the quantified user experience profile. In some embodiments, the composition may be formulated for oral or nasal administration.
  • the term “consumer” means both the user of the composition and the observer nearby or around the user.
  • diamond construction means a terpene formulation in which the relative weight percentages of the terpenes classified according to their volatility (/.e., low, moderate or high). Of note is that a diamond constructed terpene formulation has a substantially greater amount of the terpenes having a moderate volatility as compared to the low and high volatile terpenes. Examples of terpene formulations with a diamond construction are shown in Figure 1.
  • the term “effective amount” refers to an amount of one or more terpenes and optionally cannabinoids sufficient for the subject consuming the composition to feel a desired effect after vaporization and inhalation of the composition.
  • terpenes also known as “terpenoids” and can be used interchangeably
  • terpenes refer to a class of chemical components comprised of the fundamental building block of isoprene, which can be linked to form linear structures or rings.
  • Terpenes may include hemiterpenes (single isoprenoid unit), monoterpenes (two units), sesquiterpenes (three units), diterpenes (four units), sesterterpenes (five units), triterpenes (six units), and so on.
  • Suitable examples of the terpenes include those provided herein below.
  • cannabinoids are odorless
  • terpenoids are generally responsible for the unique odor of cannabis, with each variety of cannabis having a slightly different profile that can potentially be used as a tool for identification of different varieties. It also provides a unique and complex organoleptic profile for each variety that is appreciated by both novice users and connoisseurs.
  • some terpenes interact with neurological receptors.
  • a few terpenes produced by cannabis plants also bind weakly to cannabinoid receptors.
  • Some terpenes can alter the permeability of cell membranes and allow either more or less THC to enter, while other terpenes can affect serotonin and dopamine chemistry as neurotransmitters.
  • Terpenoids are lipophilic, and can interact with lipid membranes, ion channels, a variety of different receptors (including both G-protein coupled odorant and neurotransmitter receptors), and enzymes. Some are capable of absorption through human skin and passing the blood brain harrier.
  • Terpenes can be acquired commercially and are available in various purities. There are suppliers of pure and homogenous terpenes, contract laboratories that synthesize terpenes, and contract laboratories that purify terpenes from natural products, e.g., essential oils (see, e.g., Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.; TCI America, Portland, Oreg.; Arizona Chemical, Jacksonville, Fla.).
  • the term “pure” in reference to a “terpene” means that it is over about 85% pure, over about 90% pure, over about 95% pure, over about 98% pure, over about 99% pure, over about 99.5% pure, or over about 99.99% pure.
  • the term “pure” does not account for any solvent that may be used for dissolving the terpene, such as a solvent that is ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and so on. Solvents suitable for dissolving terpenes are well-known in the art.
  • terpene material and “terpene materials” relate to a terpene or a mixture of terpenes that are used to impart a unique aromatic profile to a composition.
  • vapor pressure refers to the partial pressure in air at a defined temperature (e.g., 25°C) and standard atmosphere (e.g., 760 mmHg) for a given chemical species.
  • Vapor pressure is related to the rate of evaporation of a terpene which is defined in an open environment where terpene is leaving the system.
  • the new classification approach better reflects the technical properties of terpenes with respect to evaporation.
  • Vapor pressure for the terpenes can be readily determined by their CAS registry number using SciFinderTM. SciFinderTM uses reference program Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD/Labs) Software Version 2019. Vapor pressure is expressed in 1 Torr, which is equal to 0.133 kilopascal (kPa).
  • the herein described vaporizable compositions are typically used for recreational or medicinal uses.
  • the herein described vaporizable compositions can be used to achieve a desired effect in a user, such as a psychoactive effect, a physiological effect, or a treatment of a condition.
  • neuroactive effect it is meant a substantial effect on mood, perception, consciousness, cognition, or behavior of a subject resulting from changes in the normal functioning of the nervous system.
  • physiological effect it is meant an effect associated with a feeling of physical and/or emotional satisfaction.
  • treatment of a condition it is meant the treatment or alleviation of a disease or condition by absorption of cannabinoid(s) at sufficient amounts to mediate the therapeutic effects.
  • treating is used herein to mean obtaining a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect.
  • the effect may be prophylactic, in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease, condition, or symptoms thereof, and/or may be therapeutic in terms of a partial or complete cure for a disease or condition and/or adverse effect, such as a symptom, attributable to the disease or disorder.
  • Treatment covers any treatment of a disease or condition of a mammal, such as a dog, cat or human, preferably a human.
  • the disease or condition is selected from the group consisting of pain, anxiety, an inflammatory disorder, a neurological disorder, a psychiatric disorder, a malignancy, an immune disorder, a metabolic disorder, a nutritional deficiency, an infectious disease, a gastrointestinal disorder, and a cardiovascular disorder.
  • the disease or condition is pain.
  • the disease or condition is associated with the feeling of physical and/or emotional satisfaction.
  • the “effective amount” administered and rate and time- course of administration will depend on the desired effect associated with a feeling of physical and/or emotional satisfaction in the subject.
  • the “effective amount” administered and rate and time-course of administration will depend on the nature and severity of the disease or condition being treated and typically also takes into consideration the condition of the individual subject, the method of administration and the like.
  • the inventors have surprisingly discovered a new approach of objectively classifying terpenes and then formulating those terpenes into complex terpene mixtures that can complement the cannabinoid, which may be provided separately from or included in the composition of the present disclosure, and have an entourage effect in a user.
  • the approach described in the present application to achieve an entourage effect is to formulate the terpenes into a diamond construction to provide for a specific ratio of various terpenes to cannabinoid, the various terpenes being categorized according to their volatility, as further described below.
  • the inventors have discovered that in the absence of the diamond construction there may be a lesser or no entourage effect associated with the use of the composition. Therefore, the levels of the terpenes need to be carefully chosen.
