What is a Cannabis Tincture?

THC tinctures, in its simplest sense, is a cannabis extract where the liquid is infused with cannabis and is intended for sublingual consumption rather than vaping or smoking. Producers dip the cannabis plant in a base liquid such as cooking alcohol, glycerin or even oil. Then, after a few days of soaking, they filter the plant material and – voilà! You have a tincture with cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds!

Although tinctures and edibles require consumption to work, they enter the bloodstream through different body systems and have different effects. Since you put tinctures under your tongue, they do not pass through the liver. Thus, the effects are more immediate but not as strong.

How to Use or Take Cannabis Tinctures

The ideal dose depends on your tolerance and the purpose for which you are taking the tincture. If the producer formulated the tincture to help you sleep, you may need a large to provide a sedative effect. If you plan to use the tincture throughout the day for overall well-being, you may find that multiple microdoses throughout the day can provide a more uplifting experience. In general, as with anything weed-related, start small and go slowly. For maximum effectiveness, place the tincture under the tongue and let it sit for 30 seconds before swallowing.
