Discovering cannabis tinctures made such a difference for me, until then, I strictly smoked dried flower! Although I wasn’t ecstatic with the work, waste plus 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… However, I had planned a camping trip with some friends that included an especially taxing hike. Shortly before our departure date, I fell off my bike plus got injured quite badly. I rolled my ankle, bruised my knee plus dislocated my shoulder. I knew the lingering pain plus stiffness were going to be a concern 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 plus the budtender recommended a tincture. They carry a immense selection of tinctures from CBD isolates to sky-high THC potency. The compact package is easy to tuck into a pocket or backpack. It includes a handy dropper that allows precise dosing down to the milliliter. I place a drop or several under the tongue plus 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 plus require no specialized equipment. They have far fewer calories than edibles plus are sold in a variety of flavors, then when properly stored, tinctures provide an especially long shelf-life.
