Cannabis Tinctures
Borrowing inspiration from old-school apothecaries and medicinal practices, THC tinctures are made by using a solvent to extract the terpenes and cannabinoids from the cannabis plant.
The end product is a little something like liquid gold — but is it right for you? We unpack what cannabis tinctures are, why you might use them, and what types we have available in our Massachusetts dispensary to help you decide.
What are Cannabis Tinctures?
Tinctures are generally cannabis-infused oils administered orally in small amounts using a dropper or measuring spoon.
Why Choose Cannabis Tinctures?
Another smokeless option for those who simply prefer the ingestible route compared to smoking flower or concentrates, cannabis tinctures are convenient, discreet, and offer a similarly potent experience to edibles without the additional sugar and calories. Or, maybe you simply don’t have a sweet tooth!
Tinctures are not considered edibles, as edibles appear and taste like commonly prepared foods and beverages, such as cookies and candies or seltzers and sodas. And unlike edibles, the effects of tinctures are believed to be felt quicker when dosed under the tongue.
How to Consume Cannabis Tinctures
Since tinctures are consumed using a dropper or measuring spoon, the dosage is more precise and easily tailored based on your tolerance level. It’s not like breaking an infused cookie in half where the two sides might have slightly different doses — you can more accurately get the same dosage every time you consume.
While many people will place the dropper directly under the tongue, cannabis tinctures can also be added to any beverage, like a cup of hot tea to unwind in the afternoon or a fruit smoothie to get going in the morning.
Considering that a single bottle can contain upwards of 300mg of THC, tinctures can be enjoyed over a long period of time thanks to their long shelf life. Just be sure to store the bottle properly, like in a cool, dark place without direct sunlight.
Types of Cannabis Tinctures Available
Tinctures are incredibly versatile. Whether you wish to dose your morning coffee or unwind before bed, we have you covered here at The Pass!
Our daytime tinctures are meant to inspire creativity, motivation, achievement, and overall happiness. In contrast, our nighttime tinctures will lull you into a state of deep relaxation and joyful euphoria.
How to Choose Your Tinctures
As mentioned, tinctures allow for a higher concentration of THC at a more precise dosage. Our range of tinctures at The Pass contains anywhere from ~300mg to ~550mg of THC in a single bottle.
For new cannabis users or those who have not yet tried tinctures, we suggest starting with a lower concentration and beginning with the recommended dose on the bottle. While tinctures may kick in faster than edibles, we still recommend waiting 15-45 minutes between incremental doses. You should feel the full effect in about 90 minutes. As a rule of thumb, with cannabis ingestibles, you can always take more, but you can’t take less.
