         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein cannabidiol is derived from hemp oil. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the emulsifier is polyethylene glycol-400. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the emulsifier is propylene glycol. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the emulsifier is vegetable glycol. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein two emulsifiers are used. 
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 10 , where in two emulsifiers are chosen from a list comprising of polyethylene glycol-400, propylene glycol, and vegetable glycol. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 1 , further comprising a flavor enhancer. 
     
     
         13 . The composition of  claim 12 , wherein the flavor enhancer is selected from a flavor enhancer group consisting of apple, cherry, green tea, cinnamon, clove, black tea, plum, mango, dates, watermelon, coconut, pear, jasmine, peach, fennel, fragrant melon, lychee, mint, chocolate, coffee, cream, banana, almond, grape, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, pine, kiwi, sapote, taro, lotus, pineapple, orange, lemon, melon, peach, licorice, vanilla, rose, osmanthus, ginseng, spearmint, citrus, cucumber, honeydew, walnut, almond, terpene, and honey. 
     
     
         14 . The composition of  claim 13 , wherein the flavor enhancer is in the amount of about 1% to about 80% (wt/wt) of the composition. 
     
     
         15 . The composition of  claim 13 , wherein the flavor enhancer is in the amount of about 20% to about 40% (wt/wt) of the composition. 
     
     
         16 . The composition of  claim 13 , wherein the flavor enhancer is in the amount of about 40% to about 60% (wt/wt) of the composition. 
     
     
         17 . A method to make a smoke-able composition comprising the steps of:
 placing a quantity of at least one emulsifier in a container;   adding a quantity of cannabidiol; and   mixing the composition using a propeller, a magnetic stirrer, or a shaking mechanism.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the quantity of emulsifier comprises about 10% to about 99.9% (wt/wt) of the composition. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the quantity of cannabidiol comprises about 0.1% to about 90% (wt/wt) of the composition 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising the step of adding a quantity of flavor enhancer. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the quantity of flavor enhancer comprises about 1% to about 80% (wt/wt) of the composition. 
     
     
         22 . A method for pulmonarily administering a cannabidiol composition to a mammal comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing a smoke-able composition comprising:
 (i) cannabidiol in the amount of about 0.1% to about 90% (wt/wt) of the composition; and
