Tinctures - FAQ

What are tinctures?

Tinctures in the context of hemp or cannabis are liquid extracts made from the plant, usually dissolved in alcohol or glycerin. They offer a precise and convenient method for consuming cannabinoids like CBD or THC, with rapid absorption when taken sublingually (under the tongue). Cannabis tinctures can also be added to food and beverages, providing versatility in consumption. Typically packaged in small bottles with droppers, they allow for discreet use and easy storage. Tinctures are valued for their long shelf life and the ability to customize the dosage to individual needs, making them a popular choice for both medicinal and recreational users.

What are the benefits of using tinctures instead of other products or extracts?

Using tinctures offers several benefits compared to other cannabis products or extracts.

First, tinctures provide precise dosing control, allowing users to measure and adjust their intake easily with the dropper provided. This precision is especially beneficial for medical users needing consistent dosing.

Second, tinctures are discreet and convenient to use, as they can be taken sublingually without drawing attention. They also offer faster absorption compared to edibles, providing quicker onset of effects.

Additionally, tinctures are versatile; they can be consumed directly, added to food or beverages, or even applied topically, offering flexibility in how they're used based on individual preferences and needs.

Finally, tinctures generally have a longer shelf life compared to perishable forms like edibles or fresh cannabis, ensuring longevity and potency over time.
