// Definition
A process that creates ultra-small (sub-200 nanometer) droplets of cannabis oil suspended in water using high-shear mixing or microfluidizers, dramatically increasing bioavailability and enabling rapid onset of effects in beverages and edibles. Similar to how milk is naturally emulsified fat in water.
// From the Episode
Dr. Mark Scialdone explained nanoemulsification using milk as an analogy and described how a 5mg nanoemulsified gummy produces noticeable effects even in daily THC users, compared to traditional edibles requiring higher doses. He noted that microfluidizers (sending '12 lanes of traffic through a 2-lane tunnel') produce superior results to sonicators, which can pit their tips. Aten described making a 1000mg nanoemulsified drink for 11 years using sonication.
