About cannabis tinctures

A tincture is cannabis extract in a carrier oil or alcohol, sold in a small bottle with a measured dropper. You can hold drops under your tongue for about a minute before swallowing, or mix them into food or a drink. They are smoke-free, easy to measure and discreet.

Held under the tongue, effects usually start within 15 to 45 minutes. Swallowed or mixed into food, they work more like an edible and can take up to two hours. Many tinctures pair THC with CBD, CBG or CBN, so check the ratio on the label.

How much tincture should I take?

Start with the smallest marked dose on the dropper, often 2.5 to 5mg of THC, and wait at least two hours before taking more. The label shows how many milligrams are in each full dropper.

Tincture vs edible: what's the difference?

Both are smoke-free. A tincture lets you fine-tune your dose drop by drop, and held under the tongue it can kick in faster than a gummy. Edibles are pre-dosed and convenient.

How should I store a tincture?

Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from children and pets. Most tinctures stay good for a year or more.
