When it comes to legal cannabis, whether it be in cannabis reform, industry expansion or technological advancements – the world is moving forward at a break-neck pace. In the US, the demands of the consumer further validate the development and success of state programs. Recreational and medicinal markets have developed various types of consumers; adult-use consumers whose purchasing habits are more exploratory and recreational in nature, and medicinal users, with more sophisticated product demands for their chosen course of therapy.
Within the medicinal market, users are seeking out the newest, most technologically advanced products. Now, instead of settling for treatment methods such as smoking flower or consuming gummies, there is a demand for safer, more controlled, and consistent products. Often, users experience varied effects, especially upon using various extracts. Current extraction techniques used by processors not only may create health risks for consumers, but depending on the method of extraction, products still vary in potency, flavor, and cost.

Medicinal users have developed a more pharmaceutical approach when using cannabis as a course of treatment. Consistency, dosing, availability and potential health risks are all factors that medicinal users and producers must keep in mind. As for producers, some companies are taking this insight and working to develop pharmaceutical-grade products that can meet the specific needs of the user, as well as market demand. One company that is doing as such is CannRx Technology, Inc. Based out of Delaware, CannRx is a developer of high-quality pharmaceutical-grade medicinal cannabis products through the implementation of their patented technology.

To further their effort to produce technologically advanced products, in 2018 CannRx partnered with Israeli-based Izun Pharmaceuticals, a company with proven success in creating botanical-based healthcare products. Together, CannRx and Izun are leveraging the potential of cannabis through their patented technology and botanical expertise. Jointly, they have filed six patents for unique cannabis delivery systems. One proprietary method of cannabis extraction that has been developed was shown for the first time at the CannaTech conference in Israel. This new process can quantify the biological effect of a plant's constituents as they function within the plant. In other words, CannRx has developed an extraction method that is safer concerning production and consumption than the widely-popular BHO and CO2, as well as maximized cannabinoid profile potential.
|What is Vapor Capture Technology?|
This new patented technology, known as Vapor Capture Technology (VCT), creates clean, activated, and full-spectrum cannabinoid profiles, thus providing safer and higher-quality extracts than any other extraction process currently available on the market. In addition to producing such a high-quality product, the process of using the VCT is notably more efficient. The extraction process takes only a swift single run and produces a high yield of activated cannabinoids into a fully-water soluble extract. Using their CannTrap technology, CannRx can isolate cannabinoids into powder-form for use in a multitude of products.

|VCT – How Does It Work? |
Using patented and proprietary technology, the VCT vaporizes or combusts, the cannabis raw material. During this part of the process, digitally-controlled and specific heating elements deliberately target vaporization points of the plant, resulting in different cannabinoid combinations to be utilized when developing products to tackle various medical conditions. The vapor is then processed to recapture the activated cannabinoid molecules, then passes them to the solubilization unit, where they are dissolved into a liquid and stored for further processing. The VCT process produces a cannabinoid profile that almost identically replicates the cannabinoid profiles achieved through smoking or vaporizing. Also, the VCT process is not dependent upon further heating, as are other extracts.
|The Future of VCT Technology|
Through VCT and other patented technologies, such as CannTrap, CannRx positioned itself to become a market leader in medicinal cannabis products. Their pharmaceutical approach to product development makes them unique to the market. Through this approach, Cann Rx strives to provide consistency and predictability of doses, define the profile of the product composition and optimize dosing administration. Their products are aimed at being more potent, but also delivering the precise and consistent dosing capability that is critical for medicinal users.
Later this year, CannRx intends to launch clinical trials for their first products developed for the market. They are creating scientifically-advanced, clinically tested products to target and tackle medical conditions in safe, consistent methods.
