Cannabis Oils

Long gone are the days of digesting pot brownies of unknown potency. Today, with the advancement of marijuana cultivation and processing, every product on the shelf is meticulously tested so exact THC and CBD quantities are known – eliminating the potency roulette of a bygone era.

What is a tincture?

In short, a tincture is typically an alcoholic extract of the plant in use. Ethanol is used as the common solvent, as it is the most effective at breaking down plant matter and maximizing the cannabinoids that you will want to consume. As such, the tincture itself is typically between 50 and 120 proof – though users will typically only consume a few droppers at a time. To make THC/CBD oil, plant matter is dissolved in alcohol. The chemicals in the plant become suspended in a solution that is then digested to achieve the desired results.

Why use tincture over other cannabis products?

Though perhaps void of the ritualistic properties of smoking marijuana, consuming tincture has a slew of other benefits. THC/CBD oils are absorbed into the body quickly, meaning users will often feel the effects rather quickly – sometimes as quickly as 15 minutes. Additionally, it is treated more like a medicine meaning that you have complete control over the amount you digest and how strong the effects will be. Further, tinctures are discrete and don’t require all of the paraphernalia required for smoking marijuana or dabbing. Finally, if stored properly, tinctures retain a long shelf life – far exceeding that of marijuana flower which can easily dry out or go old.

How do you consume tincture?

The most common way to consume tincture is through sublingual administration. Simply place the included eyedropper syringe under your tongue and squeeze. Instead of swallowing the solution, it will absorb into your bloodstream naturally – making tinctures an excellent THC/CBD option for those suffering from painful gastrointestinal issues. You can also use the dropper to add the oil to foods or drinks which maintains its discreet nature but will prolong and potentially diminish some of the effects.
