What is a tincture?

A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract in liquid form and is grain alcohol based. Tinctures have been in use for centuries in traditional and herbal medicine, and are still prescribed in some instances today. Manufacturers can make an herbal tincture by soaking plant material in alcohol for several weeks so that the ingredients of the plant are extracted into the liquid, which is then administered to the user.

Tinctures use alcohol because it is an ideal solvent for holding both resin and alkaloid herbal extracts. Many plant extracts aren’t water-soluble, and alcohol is a food-grade material that’s safe for human consumption. After the herbs and extracts are soaked in the alcohol base for several weeks, the mixture is then strained, and all solid parts from the herb are removed, so the only thing left is a concentrated liquid that’s easy for someone to take directly under the tongue or mixed into food.

Traditional herbal tinctures can be created from either a single plant or a combination of plants. The leaves, either fresh or dried, bark, flowers, and berries, can be put into a tincture. Consumers can buy tinctures from health food stores, pharmacies, grocers, and online retailers. Tinctures can be used internally or externally.

What are CBD tinctures and how effective are they?

Consumers can use CBD in many forms. The compound can be vaporized and inhaled, or ingested as a capsule. CBD oil is one of the most popular products on the market, and these products look and perform similarly to tinctures. The difference between these products is that CBD oils use an oil base to suspend the CBD compounds, while tinctures use grain alcohol for this purpose.

A CBD tincture is created by steeping the cannabis flowers, or cannabis isolates in grain alcohol. CBD won’t become active unless the compounds are heated, so the tincture must be warmed at a low level for a length of time to infuse the alcohol with CBD molecules. The end product is a highly concentrated, alcohol-based liquid that can be ingested by itself, or mixed into a drink or food. Some manufacturers will add a few drops of oil to the tincture to improve the taste.

How would someone take a CBD tincture?

A CBD tincture is a highly concentrated form of the compound, so it’s essential that consumers take it in small doses. Tinctures come with a dropper attached to the bottom of the lid that enables the user to get a measured dose of the liquid. Small doses allow for using the tincture in a variety of ways. Tinctures can mix well in liquid foods or drinks, such as pasta sauces, soups, or teas. Adding a few drops of a CBD tincture to a relaxing, chamomile tea can help someone unwind from a stressful day.

Tinctures can also be taken sublingually, where the user would apply a dose to the bottom of the tongue, and hold it there for about ninety seconds before swallowing. This allows the compounds to be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream through the tiny capillaries underneath the tongue. Taking CBD sublingually enables the compound to bypass the liver, and start working more rapidly than if someone were to mix the tincture into food or drink.

How much of a CBD tincture should someone take?

CBD is a supplement and does not have an official serving size or dosing requirements, but the most common dose for a CBD tincture is one dropper full per day. Users can use a full dropper in one sitting or split the dropper between meals or drinks throughout the day. However, this does not account for a person’s weight or metabolism. Some users may benefit from taking more or less of a dropper full per day. Also, it’s possible to purchase tinctures that contain lower or higher concentrations of CBD. It’s safe to experiment with different dosages until a consumer finds the right one for them.

Are there adverse reactions to taking too much CBD tincture?

It’s not possible to overdose on CBD, but CBD can have a few side effects. The most common CBD side effects are drowsiness and dry mouth.

Which CBD tinctures are best?

Pure CBD tinctures can be purchased in different forms – CBD isolate, or pure CBD, and full-spectrum CBD. Full-spectrum CBD has other cannabinoid compounds in it in trace amounts, including THC. CBD isolate products and tinctures do not contain other cannabis compounds.

The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill allowed CBD enthusiasts to purchase and ship CBD products, including tinctures, across state and international lines, with one caveat. The product can only contain .3% or less of THC.

Some full-spectrum CBD tinctures contain THC within these amounts, but others include higher concentrations of THC. Consumers who live in a state where medical marijuana and recreational marijuana has been legalized can purchase products containing more significant levels of THC without legal repercussions. But a consumer who lives elsewhere should be careful only to purchase CBD tinctures that contain 3% or less of THC. Although the small level of THC in a CBD tincture won’t get someone high, THC is still a psychoactive compound, and it does contain addictive properties.
