CBD Tinctures vs Marijuana Tinctures

CBD tinctures contain cannabidiol, which is a non-psychotropic compound and does not produce psychotropic effects. Most are produced from hemp plants which only contain trace amounts of THC.

Tinctures are made by submersing plant material in alcohol, glycerin or oil for prolonged exposure and then using dropper bottles to administer it under the tongue.

What is a CBD tincture?

CBD tincture is a cannabis extract made using alcohol as its solvent, usually using CBD-rich hemp or cannabis sativa plants along with high proof alcohol ranging from 60-70% ABV according to Dr. Jassey.

Tinctures can be taken sublingually, orally and topically to relieve pain, anxiety or insomnia. They can even be added to oils like olive or coconut oil as a cannabis-infused edible. Their main uses are pain relief, anxiety reduction and insomnia relief.

Tinctures may contain various cannabinoids and terpenes, as well as isolates like CBD or THC, with CBD known as broad spectrum or full spectrum tincture whereas one made with THC is called an isolate tincture. To distinguish whether a given product falls into either of these categories, third-party lab results known as Certificates of Analysis (CoA) should be checked to ensure quality and consistency.

What is a Marijuana tincture?

Cannabis tinctures offer an effective and discreet method for taking cannabis, offering smoke-free enjoyment for those with respiratory sensitivities as well as pain relief or local inflammation relief. Tinctures can be added directly into beverages or food such as coffee, tea, smoothies or homemade ice creams for use without being noticeable to anyone around.

Cannabis tinctures typically contain either CBD or THC (cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol) to provide benefits, such as pain relief, relaxation, stress reduction and improved sleep. Tinctures may also help with appetite loss or nausea relief.

Cannabis tinctures differ from edibles in that they bypass the liver before entering the bloodstream, so you can feel their effects much quicker. When starting with a tincture it is recommended that you begin slowly by starting off with small doses and wait at least an hour before upping it to maximum.

As new cannabis innovations emerge, such as vape pens and transdermal topicals, time-tested classic products like tinctures can sometimes get forgotten. Tinctures provide an easy and precise method for intaking cannabis.

Tinctures are alcohol-based extracts made by steeping plant material in high proof alcohol before straining and bottling; these offer an ideal way to experience both CBD and THC’s therapeutic benefits.

Food-grade high-proof alcohol is often the ideal base for creating tinctures; however, other bases such as glycerin or oil may also be employed.

For an effective tincture, combine plant material in an airtight mason jar with high-proof alcohol, then shake well before placing the mixture in the freezer for several days. Shake regularly while straining using cheesecloth or coffee filter before pouring the finished tincture into an amber dropper bottle and keeping in a dark and cool location until ready for storage; these long-lived remedies have an indefinite shelf-life when stored properly.

How do I make a Marijuana tincture?

As cannabis innovations, such as vape pens and nanotech beverages, become more advanced, the timeless cannabis tincture can often get overlooked. But creating your own cannabis tincture is easy, affordable, and highly effective – giving your product a competitive edge over similar offerings from retailers.

Tinctures can be consumed sublingually (under the tongue), thanks to plenty of capillaries in this area that enable rapid absorption of liquids without first passing through your digestive system – which means tinctures may be more quickly absorbed than traditional cannabis edibles.

Tinctures offer an effective method for administering precise doses of individual cannabinoids or terpenes such as CBG (cannabidiol) and CBD-A (cannabidiol acetate). A full spectrum tincture may contain additional cannabinoids such as THC and CBC for an entourage effect that may provide more holistic benefits than isolated CBD alone.

DIY cannabis tincture is an ideal option for those looking to sidestep the smokey experience or who wish to be free from solvent-containing commercial products, while giving you full control of extraction procedures, guaranteeing no unintended chemicals are added into their final product.
