The flavours and aromas of cannabis are undesirable in edible

and infused products made with crude extract due to chlorophyll,

fats, lipids and other impurities

Nextleaf has been issued a U.S. patent pertaining to the Company’s

industrial-scale process of extraction and purification of

cannabinoids

The U.S. patent covers the process of transforming dried cannabis

into high-purity THC or CBD distillate oil, simplifying the

manufacturing of differentiated formulations and delivery methods

Health Canada’s draft regulations to legalize infused products by

October 2019 makes cannabinoid purification technology vital for

the manufacturing of standardized edibles and vape pens

Patented Extraction & Purification Process
