What are Cannabis Tinctures?

Tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts, usually taken by placing drops under the tongue. By placing the drops under your tongue, the cannabinoids are absorbed directly into your bloodstream, offering quicker and more efficient effects.

 

Tinctures provide a smoke-free option that’s easy to dose – perfect for those who may not feel comfortable smoking or using other methods of consumption. They also come in a variety of flavors and potency levels, so you’ll find one that fits your needs perfectly.

Types of Cannabis Tinctures

THC-Dominant Tinctures

Tinctures made primarily with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis.

Features / Uses:

  • Produces strong euphoric and psychoactive effects

  • Commonly used for relaxation, pain relief, and appetite stimulation

  • Ideal for experienced consumers seeking fast-acting effects (15–45 min sublingually)

CBD-Dominant Tinctures

Formulated with cannabidiol (CBD) as the primary cannabinoid, offering therapeutic benefits without intoxication.

Features / Uses:

  • Promotes calm, focus, and inflammation relief

  • Non-psychoactive — suitable for daytime or wellness use

  • Often chosen by medical users or those new to cannabis

Balanced (1:1 THC:CBD) Tinctures

Contains equal or near-equal amounts of THC and CBD for a balanced experience.

Features / Uses:

  • Delivers mild euphoria with therapeutic effects

  • Reduces anxiety or overstimulation often caused by THC alone

  • Great for managing pain, sleep, or stress with clarity

CBN or CBG Specialty Tinctures

Infused with lesser-known cannabinoids like CBN (for relaxation and sleep) or CBG (for focus and mood).

Features / Uses:

  • CBN: known for sedative, nighttime effects

  • CBG: promotes alertness and mood balance

  • Often formulated with targeted terpene blends for enhanced effects

Full-Spectrum Tinctures

Includes the full range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids naturally found in the cannabis plant.

Features / Uses:

  • Produces the “entourage effect” for enhanced therapeutic synergy

  • Offers rich, natural cannabis flavor

  • Preferred by users seeking a holistic, plant-based experience

Broad-Spectrum Tinctures

Contains multiple cannabinoids and terpenes but with THC completely removed.

Features / Uses:

  • Provides many of the benefits of full-spectrum tinctures without intoxication

  • Suitable for users avoiding THC (e.g., for workplace testing)

  • Smooth, mild effects for wellness and recovery

Isolate Tinctures

Made with a single isolated cannabinoid — typically pure CBD, CBN, or CBG.

Features / Uses:

  • Flavorless and odorless, ideal for sensitive users

  • Precise dosing and predictable effects

  • Great for mixing into drinks or food

Nano-Emulsified or Fast-Acting Tinctures

Uses nanoemulsion technology to increase absorption and speed of onset.

Features / Uses:

  • Faster onset (10–20 minutes) compared to traditional tinctures

  • More consistent bioavailability and dosing

  • Excellent for quick relief or on-the-go use

Alcohol vs. Oil-Based Tinctures

Tinctures can be made with alcohol or oil (like MCT, olive, or hemp seed) as the carrier base.

Features / Uses:

  • Alcohol-based: stronger flavor, longer shelf life, faster absorption

  • Oil-based: milder taste, easier on sensitive mouths, versatile for edibles

  • Choice depends on consumer preference and intended use
