1. A method of forming a synthesized cannabinoid, the method comprising:
a. feeding a cannabinoid compound solution through a cavitation zone defined within a cavitation apparatus;
b. as the cannabinoid compound solution flows though the cavitation zone, generating cavitation within the cannabinoid compound solution;
c. exposing the cannabinoid compound solution to cavitation and interaction with UV light, with oxygen, with reagents, with heat, or combinations thereof;
d. controlling cavitation generated within the cannabinoid compound solution to optimize a reaction within the cannabinoid compound solution while minimizing degradation thereof; and
e. promoting conversion of the cannabinoid compound solution to form a synthesized cannabinoid product, through cavitation and interaction with UV light, with oxygen, with reagents, with heat, or combinations thereof.
