CBD tinctures are very popular. Taken orally, they contain the full benefits of the cannabis plant in high concentrations. Below are four fundamentals to remember when purchasing or using tinctures.

1. CBD tinctures aren’t the same as CBD oil - It is easy to confuse these two products, as they are both stored in similar bottles. The biggest distinction is that a tincture is derived by soaking the cannabis plant in an alcohol and water solution, while CBD oil is made by infusing plant extracts in a carrier oil, such as coconut, olive, or hemp seed.

2. Strong tinctures contain terpenes - Terpenes are medicinal constituents found in the cannabis plant, and they provide the tincture’s aroma and flavor. Terpenes from other plants or herbs are also often added to further boost the tincture’s medicinal value. The kind of terpenes added are related to the particular targeted ailment.

3. Tinctues should be taken in small doses - Tinctures are very concentrated and while it’s not completely possible to overdose, it is safer to restrict yourself. Tinctures usually come with droppers which makes it very easy to control the dosage. A large dose is not necessary especially when using for therapeutic purposes.

4. There is a reason tinctures are expensive - Lower-priced CBD tinctures likely only contain isolates, which are not as effective. Be sure to purchase from a brand that provides lab results or the Certificate of Analysis. This will indicate what is in the tincture, specifically the level of cannabinoids and their purity. Since tinctures are ingested, you should also check whether they include food-grade alcohol.
