US Patent 10933082 Cannabinoid composition and method for treating pain

A combination of THC, CBD and Cobalamin (in a ratio of about 63%, 27% and 10%, respectively) is used with a topical carrier such as Shea butter cream to relieve pain. The THC and CBD mixture is extracted from a Cannabis indica dominant strain using high pressure and carbon dioxide (CO2) as a solvent and comprises: Tetrahydrocannabinol “THC” (9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC), 8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-8 THC) and 9-THC Acid), Cannabidiol “CBD”, Cannabinol “CBN”, Cannabichromene (“CBC), Cannabigerol (“CBG”), terpenoids and flavonoids. The Shea butter is an extract from the Shea nut from the Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). The weight of THC, CBD and Cobalamin, excluding other ingredients in the Indica extract, is in the range of about 1.0% to 5% of the total weight of the Shea butter. The cream is applied to joints for indications such as Psoriatic Arthritis and Scleroderma. The mixture is absorbed through the skin and interacts with the peripheral nervous and immune systems via the A Delta and C nerve fibers and CB 2 skin receptors to provide relief from pain without psychotropic or other side effects normally associated with THC.
