what is tincture cbd

A tincture in the most basic sense is a cannabis extract, in which a liquid is infused with cannabis, meant for sublingual consumption, not vaporization or smoking. The cannabis plant soaks in a base liquid, such as food-grade alcohol, glycerin, or even oil, and after days of steeping, the plant matter is strained out and— The cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds have melded with the base liquid, ready to dose and consume. 

How does a tincture compare to CBD oil?

CBD oils sold in wellness stores and online bear a strong resemblance to tinctures, but the two differ significantly in some areas. 

Namely, a CBD oil not sold in a licensed adult-use or medical marijuana dispensary is typically produced by isolating and extracting CBD from hemp using a solvent, like butane or CO2, and then binding the extract to a carrier oil. 

Tinctures are whole plant extracts and even when extracted from compliant hemp plants, they may contain trace amounts of THC. 

Additionally, because tinctures are often alcohol-based, they cannot be used as a topical or skin-conditioning product the way cannabinoid oil can. Both, however, can be taken orally to yield CBD’s therapeutic benefits.

Benefits of using cannabis tinctures

While they may not seem as edgy as other consumption methods, tinctures have endured in apothecaries and dispensaries for centuries because they are considered one of the healthiest ways to consume cannabis. 

Discretion
Tinctures at a glance resemble a skincare product or wellness supplement. If sealed, they don’t stink like buds, and they don’t produce smoke or vapor that as with inhalation methods.

Flexible dosing
Tinctures are not beholden to the 100mg edible cap in many markets, so one bottle will last you a lot longer than a tin of gummies or a brownie. You can also control your dose, down to the drop.

Fast-acting
If taken sublingually, tinctures’ effects have a speedier onset than eating an edible, since they absorb through the tissue in the mouth (though it will take a little longer than smoking). This also means tinctures last longer than smoking a joint, but may metabolize faster than an edible made with fats, like baked goods.
