What Makes Tinctures Special?

Cannabis tinctures are liquid extracts that deliver precise amounts of THC, CBD, or both. They're made by carefully extracting cannabis compounds into alcohol or oil, creating a potent liquid that's easy to measure and use.

Unlike smoking or vaping, tinctures give you exact control over your dose. A few drops under your tongue can provide hours of effects, making them one of the most efficient ways to enjoy cannabis.

Using Tinctures Effectively

The fastest way to feel effects is placing drops under your tongue. Hold them there for about 30-60 seconds before swallowing. You'll typically start feeling effects within 30 minutes, and they can last 3-4 hours.

Want to add tinctures to food or drinks? You can! Mix them into coffee, smoothies, or any recipe. Just remember – when added to food, effects take longer to begin (45-90 minutes) but still last several hours.

Starting Out Safely

If you're new to tinctures, start with a single drop. Wait at least an hour to see how it affects you before taking more. Everyone responds differently to cannabis, so take time to find your perfect dose.

Most people find their ideal amount is between 2-5 drops, but there's no rush to get there. The beauty of tinctures is their precision – you can adjust by tiny amounts until you find exactly what works for you.

Understanding the Value

A typical $40 bottle of tincture contains about 100 drops. At 2-3 drops per dose, that's roughly $1 per session. The bottle can last several months with regular use, making tinctures one of the most cost-effective ways to enjoy cannabis.

Plus, you don't need any special equipment – just the bottle and dropper it comes with. Store it in a cool, dark place, keep the cap tight, and it'll stay fresh for months.
