You’re a recreational-use cannabis consumer, meaning you’re a well-rounded individual with complex needs and preferences in all facets of your life.
After all, you live in a world where our phones are day-planners, maps, tax calculators, computers, and so much more.
Heck—what about air fryers? What can’t they make in twenty minutes or less because of those bad boys?
Then, there are 3D printers—they can literally print out houses.
In a day and age where versatility is all-encompassing, you demand versatility from your purchases, whether furniture, clothing, vehicles, groceries, or—most relevant to this blog—cannabis.
Cannabis Enthusiasts: Welcome To The Age Of Legality And The Luxury Of Options
The constant elephant in the room regarding recreational adult-use cannabis is how it’s not federally legal.
Sure—it’s entirely legal for adults to purchase recreational cannabis from licensed dispensaries in places like New Jersey. Still, there remains the fact the US nationally treats cannabis the same as it does heroin.
As such, many cannabis lovers—in places like New Jersey, where adult-use cannabis is legal— have a tough time accepting they now have options.
But we’re here to reassure you, friends—long gone are the days of meeting some sketchy dude in a back alley for a bag of shake and errant chunks of pocket lint.
Those were tough times—but they are no more.
Now, you have control, variety, and the freedom to get the cannabis you want.
Sometimes, it can seem a bit much, actually.
How can you sort between the pre-rolls, regular flower, concentrates, tinctures, etc.? You also have to navigate levels of THC, CBD, and terpenes. Plus, the proliferation of brands only makes what’s available an even more perplexing embarrassment of riches.
Fortunately, if you’re searching for cannabis that fits any scenario and can be catered to your needs, you can’t go wrong with tinctures.
Tinctures are the most versatile form of cannabis because they suit any occasion and can give you the precise, fast-acting effects you seek. Below—we’ll explore the nuances of tinctures and what makes them so versatile.
First Things First: What Are Tinctures?
Tinctures are a cannabis extract made by steeping the cannabis plant in a solvent (e.g., glycerin or ethanol), extracting the active cannabinoids and terpenes. This process yields a liquid, concentrated type of cannabis that gets absorbed into the bloodstream.
Typically, tinctures are dosed under the tongue (sublingually). However, they can also be added to food or drinks.
At dispensaries like ours, tinctures are sold in small bottles with a dropper lid, which allows seamless measurement and administration of the dose.
Tinctures Bridge The Edible Gap
Tinctures give you the edible experience without technically being classified as edibles. While it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, many believe the effects of a tincture can mirror those of edibles because of how both are consumed and absorbed.
You might ask, why not purchase edibles if you want edibles? Simple. While recreational adult-use cannabis sales might be legal in New Jersey, selling cannabis edibles isn’t.
However, tinctures are legal in New Jersey, and you can put them in your drinks and food to mimic the edible experience.
Catering Your Dose To Your Preference
The dropper lid in tinctures makes measuring your doses a breeze. As such, you can be more precise with what you take. If you’re looking for a little body buzz, you can take a little bit. If you’re seeking a transformative, hard-hitting experience, tinctures allow you to tailor your dose to that preference.
Different Tinctures For Different Needs
Similar to how you can control your dosage amounts with the dropper lid, you can control the effects of a tincture by purchasing a specific type.
We don’t live in a one-tincture-fits-all world. There are varying products out there for all kinds of cannabis enthusiasts and their preferences.
Some tinctures are THC-dominant for maximum psychoactive responses, others pile on the CBD to offer a more therapeutic experience, while the third type of tincture balances THC and CBD.
The world is your oyster with available tinctures on the market that enable you to customize the effects based on your cannabis-related proclivities.
Who Needs Smoking Or Vaping?
Another versatile aspect of tinctures is that they don’t require any smoking or vaping or leave any odor.
First and foremost, the lack of smoking and vaping means tinctures are easy on your lungs. Yet, they still let you enjoy all the benefits and good times that come with an awesome cannabis buzz.
Furthermore, tinctures can be dosed discreetly, no matter where you are. Of course, that doesn’t mean we endorse dosing your tincture at work. Also, don’t take a dose before driving because that’s both unsafe and illegal.
However, other situations exist—in a grey area—where it’s entirely appropriate to enjoy some cannabis without wanting everyone to see, smell, or hear you (e.g., at the movie theatre or a concert). Tinctures grant you that opportunity.
Tinctures Act Fast And Last Long
Unlike edibles, which can take what feels like eons to kick in, tinctures only require about fifteen to thirty minutes to take effect.
Moreover, the high from a tincture lasts about four hours.
While some might see that length of time and fear it means a massive part of your day lost to a cannabis high, that’s not necessarily the case. Since a tincture enables you to control your dose (and effectively microdose), you can precisely foster a high that’s not too overwhelming and only yields moderate, happy feelings for the entirety of the experience.
Simultaneously, those who want a heavy-hitting experience for the entire four hours have that option—just be sure to dose responsibly!
