A tincture is a liquid form of cannabis extract that is glycerol or alcohol infused with a medication usually consumed under the tongue. This use provides faster absorption and relief for patients with severe or chronic pain.
This method is very popular as it is simple, smoke-free, easy to make, store, transport, and use.
A tincture can also be made from herbs. Being mixed into drinks, it greatly increases the rate of absorption and the time of onset, as cannabinoids must now pass through the digestive tract.
