Abstract

A method of producing a pre-ground formed nug of combustible material includes applying compression to a portion of combustible material to produce a pre-ground formed nug that is sized and shaped to fit in a bowl of a smoking apparatus. A pre-ground formed nug of combustible material includes combustible material being sized and shaped to form a pre-ground nug that fits in a bowl of a smoking apparatus. A pre-ground formed nug includes cannabis or cannabis derivatives formed into a 3D polyhedron. A method of producing a packaged cannabis product includes placing a pre-ground formed nug of combustible material inside a container and applying a removable sealing element to an opening of the container.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of producing a pre-ground formed nug of combustible material comprising:
 applying compression to a portion of combustible material to produce a pre-ground formed nug that is sized and shaped to fit in a bowl of a smoking apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 prior to applying compression to the portion of combustible material, loading the portion of combustible material in a mold; and   after applying compression to the portion of combustible material, removing the pre-ground formed nug from the mold.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 prior to loading the portion of combustible material in the mold, weighing the portion of combustible material.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 prior to weighing the portion of combustible material, grinding or milling a quantity of combustible material to produce the portion of combustible material.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the mold is frustoconical in shape. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a nominal diameter of the mold is 18 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the combustible material is ground or milled cannabis. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 forming at least one pin hole in the pre-ground formed nug between a top of the pre-ground formed nug and proximate a bottom of the pre-ground formed nug.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis concentrates. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the combustible material contains cannabis or cannabis concentrates. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis infused with flavors, terpenes, or concentrates. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis that is mixed, coated, or injected with concentrates. 
     
     
         13 . A pre-ground formed nug comprising:
 combustible material, the combustible material being sized and shaped to form a pre-ground nug that fits in a bowl of a smoking apparatus.   
     
     
         14 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 13 , wherein the pre-ground formed nug is frustoconical in shape. 
     
     
         15 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 13 , wherein a nominal diameter of the pre-ground formed nug is 18 mm. 
     
     
         16 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 13 , wherein the pre-ground formed nug weighs about one gram (1 g). 
     
     
         17 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 13 , wherein the pre-ground formed nug includes at least one pin hole between a top of the pre-ground formed nug and proximate a bottom of the pre-ground formed nug. 
     
     
         18 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 13 , wherein the combustible material is ground or milled cannabis. 
     
     
         19 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the ground or milled cannabis has particle sizes between 25 μm and 5000 μm. 
     
     
         20 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the ground or milled cannabis has an average particle size between 1000 μm and 3000 μm. 
     
     
         21 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the ground or milled cannabis has a moisture content between 5% and 19%. 
     
     
         22 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis concentrates. 
     
     
         23 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the combustible material contains cannabis or cannabis concentrates. 
     
     
         24 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis infused with flavors, terpenes, or concentrates. 
     
     
         25 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 18 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis that is mixed, coated, or injected with concentrates. 
     
     
         26 . A pre-ground formed nug comprising:
 cannabis or cannabis derivatives formed into a three-dimensional polyhedron.   
     
     
         27 . The pre-ground formed nug of  claim 26 , wherein the pre-ground formed nug weighs between about one-half gram and about one gram (0.5 g-1 g). 
     
     
         28 . A method of producing a packaged cannabis product comprising:
 placing a pre-ground formed nug of combustible material inside a container, the pre-ground formed nug being sized and shaped to fit in a bowl of a smoking apparatus; and   applying a removable sealing element to an opening of the container.   
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the combustible material is ground or milled cannabis. 
     
     
         30 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis concentrates. 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the combustible material contains cannabis or cannabis concentrates. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 28 , wherein the combustible material is cannabis infused with flavors, terpenes, or concentrates.
