- cannabis extracts such as CBD oils could be put in a cartridge with liquified gas.
- caffeine or nicotine both natural occurring or synthetic, could be put in a cartridge with high pressure gas or liquified gas, as appropriate.
- the pressurized gas could be used to encourage mixing of the cartridge contents and a liquid by allowing the gas cartridge contents to expand in a turbulent manner through the liquid.
- gas it is meant to refer to nitrogen, carbon dioxide, among other non-oxidizing gas suitable for human consumption.
- high pressure it is meant about 100 to about 1000 psi, about 250 to about 750 psi, or any pressure suitable for mixing and dispensing the contents of the bottle.
- non-oxidizing it is meant that the cartridge contains less than about 1 volume percent oxygen, less than about 0.5 volume percent, greater than about 0 to about 0.2 volume percent or other oxidizing gases or compounds or compositions.

- the cartridge could be used to add an active ingredient to 1 liter of beverage liquid using the inventive apparatus.
- the inventive apparatus could then be used to dispense an active ingredient (e.g., hemp) infused beverage.
- the invention also provides a means for storing liquids and/or solids in a pressurized gas cartridge that can be released and suspended in a gaseous environment.
- a gas cartridge could be pressurized with compressed gas or liquid (including air or air mixture) and an active ingredient (e.g., volatile oils).
- the cartridge could be used in an apparatus that slowly releases the active ingredient by misting or vaporizing into the environment around it. This would enable a portable device that does not require any inputs other than the cartridge itself.
- the invention also provides a means for storing a degassed ingredient (e.g., active ingredient containing liquids and/or solids) in a pressurized gas cartridge that can be injected into a degassed liquid (e.g., an aqueous fluid) within a container.
