What Are Cannabis Tinctures?

A cannabis tincture, also known as a weed tincture or marijuana tinctures, is a liquid form of cannabis that can be consumed. These tincture drops are taken by dropping the THC tincture liquid under the tongue, allowing it to absorb into the bloodstream to feel the effects. For cannabis tinctures, the infusions are made using an oil or alcohol as cannabinoids aren’t naturally water-soluble.

The cannabis tinctures available today are available in a variety of potencies and ratios, allowing you to choose between a high or low dose, as well as the THC content to get your ideal effects. With this full spectrum array of cannabinoids, keep in mind that it will affect everyone differently.

Typically, these tinctures for sale are ideal for non-smokers, or those looking for a more discreet method than smoking cannabis.

How Cannabis Tinctures Are Made

A cannabis tincture is made in carrier oil, like your everyday olive or coconut oil. To make a THC or CBD tincture, all you need is two ingredients – the oil and the cannabis flower. With this process, the flower will float in a pan of oil as it gently heats for a few hours to infuse the oil or alcohol with the cannabinoid content. Once this is done, it is strained to remove the plant matter and put in a container for use and often taken with a dropper.

This method is ideal as it exhibits excellent absorption of cannabinoids into fat, and it’s a very simple process.

Keep in mind, if you opt to use alcohol to make a tincture, the cannabis will need to be preheated to prepare for infusion. It isn’t safe to heat liquid alcohol for a cannabis tincture.
