Discover the Power of Tinctures
Cannabis tinctures aren’t just a relic of the past – they’re a powerful and versatile way to experience the benefits of cannabis today. These liquid infusions have a rich history as medicinal remedies and continue to be popular for both therapeutic and recreational use.
What are Tinctures?
A tincture is a concentrated extract made by soaking cannabis flower or extracts in a base liquid, typically alcohol or glycerin. Sometimes oil is used. This process allows the beneficial cannabinoids (like THC, CBD, delta-8), terpenes, and other compounds to dissolve into the liquid, creating a potent and flavorful infusion.
Why Choose Tinctures?
- Discreet & Convenient: No lingering smell or smoke – simply place a few drops under your tongue for a quick and discreet experience.
- Fast-Acting: Because tinctures are absorbed directly through the tissues under your tongue, they work quickly, delivering effects within minutes.
- Precise Dosing: Tinctures come with droppers, making it easy to measure and control your dose. This is perfect for microdosing – taking small amounts frequently throughout the day.
How Are They Used?
Place a few drops of tincture under your tongue (sublingually) and hold for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. Tinctures can be used to:
- Relieve Pain: Muscle soreness, headaches, joint pain
- Manage Nausea & Vomiting
- Improve Sleep Quality
- Reduce Anxiety & Stress
Types of Tinctures:
- Full-Spectrum: Contain all the naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from a cannabis strain for a well-rounded effect.
- Isolate Tinctures: Focus on specific cannabinoids like THC or CBD for targeted relief.
- Blends: Combine different cannabinoids and terpenes to create unique effects.
Finding the Right Tincture:
Consult with your doctor or a knowledgeable budtender to determine the best tincture type, dosage, and strength for your needs. Remember, start low and go slow!
