Tinctures are CBD and THC oil drops that typically contain a carrier oil such as coconut, avocado, or olive oil
With a drop under the tongue, they absorb quickly into the bloodstream and may help provide relief for a variety of chronic symptoms. They can also be added to tea or your favorite drink or soft food.
Why Consider Tinctures?
One of the best aspects of tincture use is the ability to control dosage. Unlike capsules or other solid edibles that contain marijuana extracts, it is easier to moderate intake and build up to a comfort level that suits you best. Try a drop or two at first to get a sense of how it will affect you, and slowly build over future doses.
We've found that many people prefer a consistent number of doses over the course of the day, while others like to dose when their symptoms flare up for immediate relief. Each person is unique in this respect, so our anecdotal evidence is broad and varied.
• Easy to moderate dosage
• Wide variety of strengths and ratios
• Safe, natural ingredients
• Reliable and consistent
• Customizable treatments
Many people need less than what is considered the 'standard' serving size. Using the pipette dropper that comes with each tincture, you can very easily titrate and customize your serving size to best suit your individual needs. The dropper also allows the user to easily administer the same amount each time. When it comes to medicinal usage, consistency is key.
Choosing the Right Tincture
Tinctures carried by The Novel Tree Medical can be categorized into High CBD, High THC or some ratio of CBD to THC. As a general rule, no tincture will contain more than 100mg of THC. From this point, there are a variety of ratios that descend all the way down to virtually no THC. Depending on your symptoms and what your desired outcome is, our consultants will work with you to find the ideal levels of these components. It's important to keep in mind that there may be some trial and error involved in finding your ideal product.
We carry a wide variety of tinctures from the best suppliers in Washington, and conduct periodic inspections to ensure quality for our guests.
There are other factors at play in addition to CBD and THC content. Terpenes are naturally occurring botanical compounds found in cannabis. Like other plant-based medicines, it's these organic properties that contribute to your alleviation. Limonene, for example, is a terpene known for relieving stress and anxiety, and also contains antibacterial properties. Our consultants have an extensive knowledge of terpenes and take them into consideration when making a product recommendation.
