Wrapper For Enclosing Smokable Substances

Abstract

A pliable sheet is manufactured for use with smokable substances. The pliable sheet is completely sourced from female plants of the cannabis genus. Source species include cannabis sativa, cannabis indica, or a blend thereof. A manufacture process entails processing and refining harvested plant material before it can be formed into the pliable sheet. After formation the pliable sheet is dried before it is ready for use. Flavoring and aromatic elements can be incorporated into the pliable sheet to enhance a smoking experience. Adhesives may also be integrated to facilitate rolling of the pliable sheet about smokable matter. Ideally, the adhesives are sticky oil extracts produced from plants of the cannabis genus. The pliable sheet can be manufactured in a variety of thicknesses and sizes.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wrapper for enclosing smokable substance comprises:
 a pliable sheet;   the pliable sheet being formed from a plurality of elongated cellulose fibers, wherein the plurality of elongated cellulose fibers is derived from an at least one female plant of a  cannabis  genus.   
     
     
         2 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 1  further comprises:
 the at least one female plant being of a  sativa  species of the  cannabis  genus. 
 
     
     
         3 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 1  further comprises:
 the at least one female plant being of an indica species of the  cannabis  genus. 
 
     
     
         4 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 1  further comprises:
 the at least one female plant being a strain of a first female plant and a second female plant; 
 the first female plant being of a  sativa  species of the  cannabis  genus; and 
 the second female plant being of an indica species. 
 
     
     
         5 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the pliable sheet is a blend of the  sativa  species and the indica species of the  cannabis  genus. 
     
     
         6 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 1  further comprises:
 an adhesive strip; 
 the adhesive strip being connected along the pliable sheet; and 
 the adhesive strip being positioned adjacent to an edge of the pliable sheet. 
 
     
     
         7 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the adhesive strip is an oil extract of the female plant of the  cannabis  genus. 
     
     
         8 . The wrapper for enclosing a smokable substance as claimed in  claim 1  further comprises:
 the pliable sheet being infused with a flavoring element. 
 
     
     
         9 . A method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances comprises the steps of:
 providing a harvested vegetable matter from a female plant of the  cannabis  genus;   processing the harvested vegetable matter in order to extract a supply of  cannabis -derived fibers from the harvested vegetable matter;   separating the  cannabis -derived fibers in order to produce a  cannabis -derived pulp;   refining the  cannabis -derived pulp in order to produce a  cannabis -derived slurry;   transferring the  cannabis -slurry to a mold in order to produce a  cannabis -derived sheet; and   reducing a moisture content of the  cannabis -derived sheet in order to dry the  cannabis -derived sheet.   
     
     
         10 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 9  further comprises the steps of:
 passing the harvested vegetable matter through a mill in order to comminute the harvested vegetable matter; and 
 rinsing the harvested vegetable matter in an aqueous solution in order to clean the harvested vegetable matter. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 9  further comprises the steps of:
 refining the  cannabis -derived pulp by immersing the  cannabis -derived pulp in a heated bath; and 
 softening the  cannabis -derived pulp by cooking the  cannabis -derived pulp in the heated bath for a specified duration. 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the heated bath is a solution of sodium carbonate in water. 
     
     
         13 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 9  further comprises the steps of:
 diluting the  cannabis -derived slurry by mixing the  cannabis -derived slurry with water; 
 transferring the diluted  cannabis -derived slurry into a perforated sheet mold; and 
 draining the  cannabis -derived slurry through the perforated sheet mold in order to form the  cannabis -derived sheet. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 9  further comprises the steps of:
 reducing the moisture content by transferring the  cannabis -derived sheet to a press in order to exude the  cannabis -derived sheet; and 
 reducing the moisture content by transferring the  cannabis -derived sheet to a heated receptacle in order to dry the  cannabis -derived sheet mold. 
 
     
     
         15 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 9  further comprises the step of;
 flavoring the  cannabis -derived sheet by infusing the  cannabis -derived sheet with a flavoring agent. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method of manufacture for a wrapper for enclosing smokable substances as claimed in  claim 9  further comprises the step of:
 adhering an adhesive coating along an edge of the  cannabis -derived sheet.
