How To & When To: THC Tinctures | Discover Marijuana

Cannabis medicine comes in a variety of forms, and the tincture is one of our favorites!
Tinctures are liquids containing herbal extracts (cannabis, in our case), and they're administered "sublingually," or under the tongue. They can also be swallowed and absorbed via the digestive system, but the two large veins underneath the tongue allow for faster and better absorption of the compounds in a tincture.
Kylee Shumway, Pharmacist in Charge at WholesomeCo, says the tincture is the "most medical" way to use cannabis. That's because tinctures can be dosed drop by drop, allowing greater precision than other forms of cannabis consumption.
This level of precision is ideal for a Medical Cannabis patient who's interested in microdosing or finding the "just right" dose.
Shumway and Blake Smith, Chief Scientific Officer at Zion Medicinal, agree that tinctures can benefit nearly every Medical Cannabis patient.
Talk to Kylee Shumway or your local Medical Cannabis pharmacist to learn about the tinctures that may help with your condition.

What are your favorite tinctures and what are you using them to treat? We'd love to hear your stories.

[@robertrothenberg2743]

Thanks for your informative videos. I’m hoping you can help me discover more information on the non-THC cannabinoid properties in available products. For example, I tried a few different tinctures, and found that the Zion Pharm 1:5 tincture was most helpful for relieving my back pain an allowing me to sleep through the night. When I ran out, and that product was temporarily unavailable, I bought a Jilu 1:4 tincture, thinking it would be similar. What I found is that the Jilu tincture is quite effective for my pain, but it makes me feel wide awake and unable to sleep. The labels show me major differences in CBG and CBC levels, but I don’t know how to interpret what those differences mean to me without spending a lot of money and time trying out a wide range of products. I’m also unsure what I can or should do with the products I now have that aren’t well suited to my needs.

[@burn1gotbeats]

I like Select’s 1000mg THC drops they work well I use it to calm my anxiety and chronic pain. CBG is cool I haven’t found a good tincture yet.

[@joshbeyer9757]

Tinctures are great for a guy like me that loves cardio and runs a lot. I don't want to smoke or inhale anything at all. I also don't want to wait for 40 minutes either, nor are the gummies as easily carried as the tincture. Great for when you're out and about, like BassPro or the zoo or something and you need to relax, forced visits with the in-laws.

[@MateoThompson-jj8lq]

Any favorites? I'm a runner too

[@not_name7421]

Tinctures can take a long time to take effect, sometimes up to an hour until onset, because it have to be processed through the liver after digesting. So it's not a quick thing. You can take it sublingually which gets it into the blood stream faster but not as fast as inhaling. So that 40-60 min wait is still going to be there. For me I take a tincture strain called AK-47 (not the gun). A quarter milligram dose takes about 60 minutes to peak then will last me 5-7 hours of effect. As an introvert this dose takes my anxiety away making me much more sociable and friendly. I'm a cyclist too and as with all serious sport athletes, there is that aspect of anxiety in regards to not being able to do your best when the time comes. But when I take AK-47 beforehand I get super-confident and don't even notice the extra effort and can push myself further. Just figure in the 60-min before onset factor.

[@mpicewe3023]

[@dylanbarreto6529]

I think this guy is referring to the us federal government treating it as he refers as a no and not about it being legal or illegal in certain states. I live in a state where it is just medically legal but I have friends who live in places where it’s fully legal and they still believe the federal government needs to get over it and make it legal The amount of money the us could make if they taxed it like its taxed here in Florida as a medicine as it’s referred to here would be crazy I mean look how much money the govement makes on alcohol which IMO is much more dangerous and also highly addictive not just mentally. The us government needs to make it legal already.

[@12groney]

A warning to anyone using edibles or tinctures from a guy that's been around THC since the mid 70's - If you're new to THC and even if you're not, sip a glass of water or beverage ( not alcohol) for the first half hour after ingesting, it will make the delivery faster and more gradual. I hear of so many people getting completely inebriated from both because they don't understand that these are concentrated forms of THC. It's like taking shots of alcohol without a chaser or mixing a drink, you will get the effects twice as hard when they hit. I know people that ended up on the floor in a ball because they couldn't function! It's the same with smoking cannabis, you don't need a lot of it's good quality and the more time you take between hits the better you can gauge what is going on in your body. I see so many young people smoking hit after hit to the point where they are obliterated, that's not what pot is about. In the 70's someone would have 1 joint and pass it around to a circle of friends so you had time for it to kick in. You usually had about three hits but that's all you needed, it was that good. Sorry for the rant but there isn't enough good info for newbies with no tolerance to THC.

[@Tom-ld9hp]

I agree on when you said it was that good. They claimed the weed today is so much stronger

You said everything I was going to say! I agree 💯👍. Tinctures are too strong for my liking and I've been smoking for 35 years all day every day. Tinctures and edibles, much like dabs, are a dicey pursuit at best. Too hard to control the dose, and an anxiety attack is the last thing you want from the ganj.

I've been experimenting off and on and trying microdosing with edibles and that kind of thing (candies, gummies, food). And then I tried tincture , but didn't like the effect and them I found if I used half the recommended dosage, it just made me feel relaxed and mellow without that pressure in your chest kind of thing, which doesn't really help someone with anxiety.

THIS VIDEO IS A LIFE SAVER! I keep trying to find simple easy to understand information on how to properly dose tinctures and how to properly take them sublingually, and everyone on the internet has a video of them trying a different form of edible product, and they don't really go into it trying to dial in on a proper dosage. All the videos I've seen, people just eat an entire bag of edibles or drink a whole 200mg thc tincture in one sitting. There's nothing informative about that, you're just watching someone get high for fun. They approach cannabis products like food youtubers review new menu items at their favorite fast food place. Medicine doesn't work like that lol. This was actually incredibly informative and helped to ease some of my concerns with whether or not I was even using my medication properly.

Tincture for sleep helped me the most, I didn’t sleep at all & have anxiety especially at night. As odd as this sounds I legit had to just try strains, edibles & tinctures I kept a journal & found that there were certain strains that worked for me & some that didn’t … some that just scared me completely. . The tincture was by far the most calming & rewarding. . Keep in mind THC scared me so much. But don’t give up. Find your fit (dosage & style) my anxiety is almost gone & I sleep sound. I’m a new person! These guys speak volume! Loved this video 🌿 Zion is a game changer in so many ways. It legit changed me into a better person. Helped with crohns too!

Raphael Mechoulam is often referred to as the "father of cannabis research" because of his pioneering work in the field. In 1963, he successfully isolated and elucidated the chemical structure of cannabidiol (CBD), one of the primary non-psychoactive compounds found in the cannabis plant. A year later, in 1964, he and his research team were the first to isolate and synthesize delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana consumption. He has the answers to all your questions

Give him time and access to the proper information (these videos help a ton), my father was the same way but after a while he's eased up on his stance a bit because he sees that I'm not abusing the medication and that it's actually helping me. It just took time and soaking his mind with information. Humans aren't particularly strong when it comes to accepting the unknown (we usually react with fear), so a little research can go a long way depending on the person. My father took some convincing, but I think he gets it now in a way he didn't before. It also helped me to let him know that I respect him and his fear, and that to a certain degree it's natural and healthy for him to be unsure about something he's never touched in his life. You don't want to make them eat their suspicions, you have to let the other person shed their own fears themselves. You can't rush them.

Sometimes half a ml sometimes .25 ml, when I first started i took 1 ml at a time, but at the time I used to smoke a lot of distillate carts and I wasn’t getting as high, now I don’t even smoke carts just bud and I get way higher off the tincture now. recommended dosage on this Zen 10:1 is 1 ml, and that gets you feeling super relaxed so, I wouldn’t go over that if you’re doing 500mg, just depends on your tolerance level. It could be higher if you’re doing concentrates and stuff.

I have fibro myalga and have used cannabidoil for 2 years now. If I didn't use this I am up all night walking around the house to try and ease the pain. It has been a life saver. My supplier has stopped, I now have to learn how to make it myself otherwise I will be a delirious mess again. I'm 72 and was willing to try almost anything. Up until now I have never used any form of drug or alcohol in my life. As I said this has been a lifesaver and has also reduced the amount of chemical drugs supplied by doctors. A heads up for people who are fearful of trying this. Give it a go. Even though its illegal where I'm from I spoke to my dr who is very by the book and he said to try it, it couldn't hurt which I did and haven't looked back. Try it ppl.

[@Aus420]

I have 50mg per ml thc, I just had 2ml; how much am I expecting to absorb sublingually vs what will be converted to 11-hydroxy thc??

[@Straightdeal]

Very confusing if they don't mention the ml per drop...

1). Kylee is babe!! 2) thank you for the info!

I took too large of a drop of RSO…full 4 hrs later….I could not walk or function. It was actually scary and I am a 69 yr old long time cannabis user. Careful with RSO.

[@DiscoverMarijuana]

Yes! True RSO is strong medicine and needs to be taken seriously. Glad you recovered 🙂

Question - When taking the tincture drops do you hold your tongue up while there ate drops underneath the tongue?

[@titsmagee4469]

No

[@titsmagee4469]

I try to almost make a pocket with my lowered tongue and the bottom of the mouth if that makes sense, but that's just me personally. Good luck

The tinctures available to me historically were alcohol based , so I use coconut oil extraction to make cookies. Crockpot and cheesecloth. 55 years I have used cannabis. Had a magic butter machine , threw it away

[@tsveno72]

It’s best used before visiting the in-laws.

[@davidwinters4329]

A drop is a drop. How do you do a quarter of a drop.

[@DiscoverMarijuana]

lol, a quarter of a “full dropper” is what I meant. .25 mL

[@going4miles609]

One disadvantage of the tincture based on my experience, is that it triggers a delayed acid reflux reaction about an hour after consuming it. This, after taking a micro dose amount and on an empty stomach. I experience a problem of it returning to the back of my throat, and that taste is stronger and overwhelming. It just defeats the pleasure experience of it.

[@Wraithss]

probably the flavor or base. ask them to change it up.

I have a 200mg THC tincture that I got from my friendly dispensary but I used .50ml on each sour patch kid gummy.. (Roughly 10mg each) and I took 2. Well.. 2 hours later still feel no effect. What am I doing wrong? Pls help

[@deeznuts3472]

yeah 5mg is like... nothing

Hi Gabrielle, you may need to increase your dosage. We recommend doing so slowly to find your just right dose!

200mg ain’t shit

Im not interested in buying thc tinctures. Im interested in making my own. I made some but decided after that I left a process out. The carbonization. So I evaporated the alchohol and now have basically hashish that I can smoke and it works, but my lungs do not like smoke anymore. How do you carbonize thc for tincture use ? Or maybe you dont need that process in tincture.

[@jaysea1553]

hello there l have been making my own for year's ,by carbonize l assume you mean decarboxylation get yourself an ardent or put it in the oven there are plenty of vids on utube showing how

[@Dayandcounting]

You decarb the flower first typically. You have to be very careful decarbing alcohol tincture as it's quite flammable.

[@jaysea1553]

@@Dayandcounting l didn't know you could decarb the tincture but l have forgotten and reduced it and it worked fine hope that makes sense

[@ChingFong58]

Well, I found out that 151 Everclear can explode when put in the oven. Lucky no damage, but it blew the door open and started a fire on the carpet and burned my hands getting it under control.

[@Dayandcounting]

@@jaysea1553 You could do it but it's not advised. You would use a pressure cooker, seal and bring it up to 230F. I would just evaporate until dry, scrape it and smoke it. A glass casserole dish is good for that. Depending what you have you will end of with a power when scraped off or an oil/wax. Decarb the next batch and move on.

Tincure not made with really fine filtered water or distilled water cause rinsing terpene mixture from orane flavored flowers from the dispensary as a test the terpene maker made the liquid coating the rinse made the flower after drying better the water is chemical derivative.
