Discovering cannabis tinctures made such a difference for me; Until then, I strictly smoked dried flower, although I wasn’t blissful with the work, waste & mess involved, I was most comfortable with that consumption method.
I knew what to expect from the effect.
I had enough practice packing a bowl or rolling a joint, that I could count on an even burn. My experience made me an expert at choosing good quality bud. I was reluctant to try anything new, then however, I had planned a camping trip with some friends that included an especially strenuous hike. Shortly before our departure date, I fell off my bike & got damaged quite badly. I rolled my ankle, bruised my knee & dislocated my shoulder. I knew the lingering pain & stiffness were going to be a problem during the trip. I didn’t want to cancel. I was also unwilling to take prescription medication. I needed an effective pain reliever that I could bring along. I visited the dispensary, explained what I was looking for & the budtender advocated a tincture. They carry a crucial selection of tinctures from CBD isolates to sky-high THC potency. The compact package is simple to tuck into a pocket or backpack. It includes a handy dropper that allows precise dosing down to the milliliter. I location a drop or two under the tongue & allow the cannabinoids to be absorbed sublingually. I swallow any of the remaining liquid. The effects are felt within hours. Tinctures create no mess, ash or smoke & require no specialized equipment. They have far fewer calories than edibles & are sold in a variety of flavors. When respectfully stored, tinctures deliver an especially long shelf-life.
