Creating a precise and discrete dosing experience, cannabis tinctures have become increasingly popular and versatile in their forms of consumption and effects.
By extracting the cannabinoids and other rich compounds in cannabis, tinctures are taken sublingually and induce a more rapid onset and longer duration of effects.
Learn about the most effective way to take cannabis tinctures and why they’re favored by many cannabis consumers for their therapeutic benefits.
A cannabis tincture is essentially a cannabis extract in liquid form, infused with cannabinoids, terpenes, and other rich compounds, and meant for sublingual consumption. Cannabis tinctures are created by soaking the cannabis plant in a base solvent liquid – such as glycerin, coconut oil, or food-grade alcohol.
After all the plant’s particles have soaked for a few days, the residual plant matter is strained out and the remaining rich compounds are extracted. These cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant infuse with the base liquid over time, resulting in a potent liquid form that’s ready to dose and consume.
From that extraction process for cannabis tinctures, products are often additionally infused with botanical flavors or other cannabis compounds, to formulate a specific blend of ingredients for specific and desired effects.
Both cannabis edibles and tinctures are different than smoking a joint, blunt, or bowl – THC and other compounds enter your bloodstream through different bodily systems, creating different onset and duration of effects.
Using a tincture or eating an edible means you’re absorbing these cannabinoids orally into the bloodstream, rather than via the lungs by smoking and inhaling.
However, tinctures are commonly considered to be more efficiently fast-acting than edibles.
When taken sublingually, cannabinoids enter the bloodstream through capillaries under the tongue instead of being processed by the liver like edibles.
This sublingual method with tinctures makes these a potent way to consume, especially considering how it’s a concentrated form of the essence of the cannabis plant.
Compared to smoking or vaping cannabis, tinctures take longer to take effect. However, in comparison to edibles, tinctures can induce effects quickly due to their high bioavailability. In general, cannabis tinctures can take anywhere between 10 minutes – 30 minutes depending on a variety of external factors.
It’s important to remember the concentrated potency of tinctures and all of the therapeutic and powerful cannabinoids and effects they hold. Whether you’re a new explorer of cannabis tinctures or trying a new product, consider these practical tips for taking tinctures:
Tinctures are easy to use, can be accurately dosed, and rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through sublingual methods. Additionally, tinctures also have a longer shelf life than many other types of cannabis products.
No smoke, lighters, papers, or smoke accessories are needed – cannabis tinctures are not only simple to consume but can be used discretely for enjoyment at any time.
With the way tinctures are made by extracting the whole cannabis plant, there are many forms of full-spectrum benefits from the plethora of cannabinoids and terpenes infused. Various full-spectrum benefits can lead to more therapeutic effects when consumed.
Cannabis tinctures are known for their fast-acting effects due to their high bioavailability and sublingual uptake. This makes them one of the more faster and efficient ways to absorb cannabinoids.
Tinctures allow you to have precise and flexible dosing, depending on the specific contents and potencies of the product at hand. Some products will have a ratio of major cannabinoids, like THC and CBD. Dosing tinctures can be adjustable using the dropper top to administer the liquid under your tongue.
Recently, innovative cannabis brands have created tinctures that can be infused easily into food or beverage recipes for elevated deliciousness.
