Cannabis tinctures have gained popularity in alternative medicine and wellness practices by offering a convenient and effective way to consume cannabinoids like CBD and THC. For many, though, the idea of using a tincture is still new. Here’s everything you need to know about cannabis tinctures, the types you can choose from, how they’re made, and the benefits of their use.
Types of Cannabis Tinctures
Knowledge of the differences and unique properties of each type of cannabis tincture will be helpful in your choice of what to use. CBD tinctures and THC tinctures are two of the main varieties you’ll be choosing from, so let’s take a look at what they are and what they do.
CBD Tinctures
CBD Tinctures are an excellent choice for those who want the benefits of cannabis without the high. These tinctures allow you to take advantage of CBD’s reported health properties.
Unlike THC tinctures, CBD tinctures don’t have psychoactive effects. They are made from hemp instead of marijuana, making them legal in many places where THC products are not. Those who consume CBD tinctures report feeling relaxed and calm but without the potent, mind-altering effect that THC can induce.
THC Tinctures
THC tinctures are potent cannabis products that trigger a psychoactive effect, causing users to feel a nice high. These tinctures are often preferred by recreational users seeking a more intense cannabis experience.
Unlike CBD tinctures, THC tinctures are made from marijuana and contain a higher concentration of the psychoactive compound, thus producing a more powerful effect. At the same time, CBD has a much more subtle and non-psychoactive effect.
Why Tinctures
Tinctures are considered cannabis edibles and are extremely discreet. Where flower, vapes, and concentrates might cause a cannabis smell or require the use of a pipe or rig, a tincture can be a subtle way to consume cannabis. Tinctures can also be added to drinks if desired.
How Cannabis Tinctures are Made
Cannabis tinctures are created through an extraction process where active compounds are pulled from the cannabis plant. Using a solvent such as alcohol, the plant is stripped of its essential oils, cannabinoids, and terpenes. The resulting product is mixed with a carrier oil to create the final tincture. The potency of the tincture will depend on the concentration of cannabinoids in the extraction, allowing for tinctures of varying strength to be produced.
Consumer Suitability
Cannabis tinctures can be suitable for a wide range of people. Start slow if you’re new to this, though. Begin with a low dose and gradually increase until you find the right balance. As with any new supplement, it’s advised to consult your doctor before starting a cannabis tincture regimen!
