By Terry Hacienda, The Fresh Toast

Want to consume marijuana and want a quick hit but don’t want to smoke? Consider a tincture or oil.

More people are using cannabis to relax, to sleep, or for medical reasons. It has become popular with all ages and all over the country. But for those new to it and don’t want to smoke or vape, there is an alternative other than edibles. Cannabis tinctures and oils offer a discreet and precise way to consume marijuana, providing fast-acting effects and easy dosing. Discreet and odorless consumption, precise dosing, adjustable timing, a long shelf life and low-calorie alternative to edibles. Here are the basics on using marijuana tinctures and oils.

Select a tincture based on your desired effects. CBD-dominant tinctures offer relaxation benefits with minimal psychoactive effects. THC-dominant tinctures provide stronger psychoactive effects. Balanced THC:CBD ratios offer a combination of benefits

Proper dosing is crucial when using cannabis tinctures or oils. Start with a low dose, especially if you’re new to cannabis or the specific tincture. Begin with 1-3 drops and wait at least an hour to assess the effects. Gradually increase the dose if needed, but do so cautiously. Remember that individual responses to cannabinoids vary based on factors like body weight, tolerance, and the tincture’s potency.
