Your Straightforward Cannabis Tincture Dosage Guide
Less is always more when experimenting with cannabis.
Tinctures are an ancient medicinal practice whose use has been documented since the early 13th century. But it doesn’t matter how long it’s been around, if it’s the first time you’re using it, it’s better to play it safe. It takes time to figure out the right dose of cannabis tinctures for your body. THC dosage is tricky because it varies from person to person depending on tolerance, body size, eating habits, hydration, and more. This is why we suggest keeping a cannabis tincture dosage log to remember how it works for you. If you want to learn more about cannabis tinctures, we put this guidetogether for you, and when you’re ready to order you can visit us in-person or online for more guidance.
What is a cannabis tincture?
Cannabis tinctures are one of the best ways to benefit from the properties of the various cannabis compounds in the cannabis plant–such as THC, CBD, CBN, and CBG– which are available as isolated tinctures or in a combination. It’s one of the most precise dosage methods and great for anyone who wants the benefits of THC or CBD without smoking cannabis. We’ve put together this guide to help you better understand how tinctures work to help you choose the best cannabis products for your specific needs.

THC Tincture Dosage Guide: How to use and measure THC tinctures
Cannabis tinctures are packaged so that you can control the dosage yourself. The glass bottles are marked with mL measurements as is the quarter dropper. The packaging instructions will indicate the recommended dose. Although the effects of all types of cannabis tincture can vary based on dosage, the amount of THC is the most determinant of whether or not you'll feel like you overdid it. With any edible forms of THC, especially if it’s a brand or product that you haven’t tried before, it’s always best to start with a very small dose (half or a quarter of what is recommended) and wait about an hour before increasing the dose. Dosage varies based on a variety of factors including your tolerance, weight, and what you ate that day.
Cannabis tinctures can be consumed orally, sublingually, or infused in any food prepared without heat like a salad dressing or beverage. Sublingual consumption has the fastest onset as the chemical compounds are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the tongue rather than in the digestive process.
Your ideal THC tincture dosage guide
Cannabis tinctures are incredibly fast acting and can take effect in as little as 20 minutes when consumed sublingually. If consumed orally or infused the effects of the cannabis extract will be more delayed. With oral consumption, onset times will be slower if taken alongside food or beverages.
Less is always more until you know how your body will react to the experience. Start with the smallest dose possible and see how that feels. If it is mild, try two doses of the same size. The only way you will be able to figure out the proper tincture dosage is if you keep track of the amounts you are taking and the resulting effects. We suggest keeping track of your experience in a tincture dosage chart.
