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 and 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 myself and others an expert at choosing nice quality bud. I was reluctant to try anything new… However, I had planned a camping trip with some friends that included an especially hard hike. Shortly before our departure date, I fell off our bike and got disfigured quite badly. I rolled our ankle, bruised our knee and dissituated our shoulder. I knew the lingering pain and stiffness were going to be a problem while in 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 and the budtender recommended a tincture. They carry a large selection of tinctures from CBD isolates to sky-high THC potency. The compact package is self-explanatory to tuck into a pocket or backpack. It includes a handy dropper that allows precise dosing down to the milliliter. I locale a drop or several under the tongue and allow the cannabinoids to be absorbed sublingually. I swallow any of the remaining liquid. The effects are felt within minutes. Tinctures create no mess, ash or smoke and require no specialized equipment. They have far fewer calories than edibles and are sold in a variety of flavors! When always stored, tinctures provide an especially long shelf-life.
