You are now in the world of cannabis-infused tinctures. Tinctures are a favorite way to consume cannabis, and they're quickly becoming a popular method of delivery. Tinctures can be taken almost anywhere and provide a quick and effective way to get your cannabis. This article will show you how to use this easy but effective method for cannabis consumption.
What are Cannabis Tinctures?
Cannabis tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts. To make cannabis tinctures, you soak the flowers in a solvent. This process removes the terpenes from the plant material and creates a solution with high levels of these beneficial substances. These compounds are also preserved by the solvent, which gives tinctures a longer shelf life.Why are tinctures so in demand? The oldest form of medicine in the world, herbal tinctures have been around for centuries. These were also the first way that medical marijuana was used in the early 20th Century before prohibition. Tinctures are one of the most convenient ways to enjoy the many benefits of cannabis. They also allow for precise dosing.
Benefits of Cannabis Tinctures
Although tinctures may be the easiest way to consume cannabis, there are many benefits beyond their simplicity. These are some of the best benefits to cannabis tinctures when compared to other methods of consumption.
Discreet
Tinctures are quick and easy to absorb cannabis. Tinctures come in small bottles which can be easily carried around in your pocket or purse. Tinctures have no strong smell and can be used in almost any setting and time without anyone being aware. You can use a few drops underneath your tongue (sublingually), and you are good to go.
Rapid Action
Tinctures are often used sublingually and are more easily absorbed than edibles. Tinctures are able to quickly transmit active ingredients to the bloodstream through the lining in the mouth. The effects can last for 15-30 minutes.
Shelf Life
Tinctures are usually made with alcohol solvents, which preserve the plant compounds. When stored in a dark, cool place, tinctures will stay fresh for many years. Tinctures are concentrated so a small amount can last for a long time.
It's so simple
It is easy to accidentally overdose on cannabis edibles and flowers. Tinctures come in a container that has a measuring dropper. This allows you to dose precisely to the milliliter. Many tinctures come with precise THC/CBD ratios so that you always know what you're getting.
Low-Calorie
Tinctures can be a low-calorie option to delicious and rich foods.
How to use a Tincture
There are many reasons to use tinctures. But the best benefit is their simplicity.If you are looking for stronger and faster effects, sublingual consumption is the best way to consume a tincture. Place the tincture under your tongue for at least 1 minute, then swallow. This allows cannabis to quickly reach your bloodstream. Although the effects of cannabis can be absorbed quickly by simply putting the tincture in your mouth, they will take longer to kick in.There is an alternative way for those who don’t like the feel or taste of tinctures in their mouths.
