Hemp CBD tinctures

Shop THC tinctures

A hemp tincture is a liquid hemp extract in a small dropper bottle, made for sublingual use. Traditionally a tincture is an alcohol extraction, and many hemp tinctures still use food-grade alcohol or vegetable glycerin, while others suspend the extract in a carrier such as MCT or coconut oil. The dropper is usually graduated so you can measure a consistent amount each time. The liquid is held under the tongue briefly before swallowing, which is why onset differs from a swallowed capsule. Bottles list total milligrams of cannabinoids and milligrams per milliliter or per dropperful, plus the spectrum type. Flavored versions add natural flavoring or botanical terpenes. Unflavored ones taste grassy. Hemp rules vary by state, so what you can buy depends on where you live.

The base and the intended use. A tincture is extracted or suspended in alcohol or glycerin, tends to be thinner, and is built around measured sublingual use with a graduated dropper. A CBD oil is extract carried in a fat, usually MCT or hemp seed oil, and is often stirred into food as well. Alcohol-based tinctures taste sharper and keep a long shelf life. Store either one upright, capped, away from light, and read the milligrams-per-milliliter line rather than the bottle total.

Most hemp tinctures are sold online and shipped direct, and state rules differ on what retailers can stock. Browse hemp tinctures on Leafly to compare strengths, and check licensed dispensaries near you, since many carry tinctures in legal markets.
