Blueberry Indica 1:1 THC:CBD Distillate Tincture

Tincture

A liquid cannabis extract in a dropper bottle or with an oral syringe. A tincture is traditionally made with alcohol; however, most tinctures sold today use an oil base, commonly MCT (coconut-derived) oil. Most are made with distillate unless the listing names another extract. The label gives milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml) and per bottle, and the dropper is marked for measuring.

A tincture can be taken two ways:

1. A tincture dose held under the tongue (sublingual) for about a minute. Some of the dose is absorbed through the lining of the mouth, and effects may begin in 15 to 45 minutes.
2. Swallowed, acting like an edible. Effects begin in roughly 30 minutes to 2 hours.

In practice, part of a sublingual dose is swallowed too, so many people get a mix of both.

Distillate

A crude cannabis oil that has undergone refinement to mostly one cannabinoid, usually THC or CBD. The plant's other compounds, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and terpenes, are removed; terpenes or flavorings may be added back afterward.

Indica

On a menu, "Indica" signals the effects the seller expects: relaxing, sedating, felt more in the body, suited to evening. That expectation is tradition, not a measured property of the product.

Ratio Product

A product made to provide a set ratio of two or more cannabinoids, such as 4:1 CBD:THC. This means that for every 4 mg of CBD in the product, there is 1 mg of THC.
