Ohio Marijuana Tinctures & THC Tinctures
THC tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts infused with THC, designed for sublingual (under the tongue) administration. They are typically made by soaking cannabis in alcohol or another solvent to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes. This process results in a concentrated liquid that is then diluted to the desired potency.
What is a Marijuana / THC Tincture?
Marijuana tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts infused with THC, designed for sublingual (under the tongue) administration. These tinctures provide a fast and effective method to consume THC.
Quick Absorption
When placed under the tongue, THC tinctures are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes, providing faster onset of effects compared to edibles.
Precise Dosing
Tinctures come with a dropper, allowing for accurate and adjustable dosing. This makes it easy to find your ideal dosage.
Discreet Use
Tinctures are discreet and easy to use, making them a great option for those who need to medicate throughout the day without drawing attention.
Versatile Consumption
Besides sublingual use, tinctures can be added to food or beverages for a slower onset of effects. They can also be used topically, although this method may not be as effective for THC.
Long Shelf Life
Tinctures have a long shelf life when stored properly in a cool, dark place. This makes them a convenient option for infrequent users.
Full Spectrum vs. Isolate
Full Spectrum
Full-spectrum tinctures, such as those from Standard Wellness, contain a range of cannabinoids and terpenes, providing the entourage effect.
Isolate
Isolate tinctures contain only THC, offering a pure experience without other cannabinoids.
Tinctures for First Time Users
Onset and Duration
Effects from sublingual use can be felt within 15-45 minutes, lasting 4-6 hours. When added to food or beverages, effects may take 1-2 hours to onset and last longer.
Start Low and Go Slow
Begin with a low dose, such as 2.5-5mg of THC, and gradually increase until you find the desired effect. This helps prevent overconsumption and unwanted side effects.
Consult a Professional
If you're new to THC or have any medical conditions, consult a healthcare professional to determine the best dosage and usage for your needs.
