TABLE OF CONTENTS
Cannabis tinctures, otherwise known as THC tinctures, are one of the more popular ways cannabis is consumed.
Even after the invention of more subtle derivatives, such as edibles, cannabis tinctures remain a highly preferred choice among regular consumers.
Let's take a look at some benefits.
What is a THC Tincture?
When we use the term tincture, we're referring to using alcohol as a solvent for extraction.
In medicine, tinctures are one of the oldest methods of concentrating plant compounds. In fact, it's a historically-proven method for extracting valuable substances in a wide variety of plants, and that includes cannabis.
For people who prefer not to smoke, inhale, or vape marijuana, cannabis tincture is a perfect alternative to enjoy weed.
THC is one of the over 100 cannabinoids naturally occurring in marijuana. It is also the only cannabinoid with a significant psychoactive property.
Unlike CBD tinctures, a pure THC tincture is expected to make a person ‘high'.
Benefits of THC Tincture
#1 Minimum Effective Dose
Using tinctures is a great way to understand your tincture tolerance. Tinctures can help you learn your minimum effective dose (MED).
MED also means the smallest amount of cannabis that is potent enough for managing your condition.
This knowledge can save you money and trouble. It can also help you select the right products, which can result in more effective treatment.
You may need to stagger or spread the dosage into multiple uses throughout the day. However, allow at least 60 mins so that the effect of the last dosage takes effect.
#2 Low-calorie
For calorie-conscious users, tinctures are the perfect alternative. Edibles can be high in calories, particularly those made with butter-infused canna-oil.
Tinctures, on the other hand, are low in calories. So, if you're watching your weight, this is an excellent way to achieve what you want.
On average, tinctures contain far less calories than most baked cannabis goods.
#3 Accelerated Effect of Cannabis
When taken sublingually (under the tongue), THC tinctures can be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, providing faster effects compared to edibles.
#4 They Have a Longer Shelf-life
Tinctures generally have a longer shelf life compared to other cannabis products, making them a durable option for long-term use.
If stored in a cool, dry place or a refrigerator, marijuana tinctures can last up to a year and more..
#5 Tinctures Are Just Comfortable
They're easy to carry around. They're comfortable and convenient.
They can be consumed discreetly without the need for smoking or vaping, making them a convenient option for many users.
#6 Health Benefits
THC tinctures may help with pain relief, reduce inflammation, alleviate anxiety, and improve sleep, among other potential therapeutic effects.
#8 Variety of Choice in Deciding How to Use the Product
Just like cannabutter, THC tinctures can be used to make a wide range of subtle and exquisite products, many of which are already on the market today.
