The Versatility of Cannabis Tinctures

Unlike smoking cannabis, using it in a tincture form results in no side effects and a lot of versatility. Whereas smoking cannabis can be a 3-hour roller coaster, tinctures have a prolonged effect lasting 4-6 hours, sometimes longer depending on activity level. This is better for folks looking for sustained relief over a long period of time to treat conditions like chronic pain, sleep issues, crohn’s disease and many others. There is certainly nothing wrong with smoking if that is what you fancy. Smoking cannabis is the delivery method with the fastest onset time – almost instant. Tinctures, however, can provide rapid onset times as well due to their ability to enter your body by way of the sublingual glands under the tongue. When medicine is applied through the sublingual glands by being held in the mouth for 1-2 minutes, the effects are typically felt within 10 minutes. 

Dr. Raw has created formulas with low, medium, and high THC content. The Focus Formula is a 1:20 THC:CBD ratio. The Balance Formula is a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio.  Check out our post where we break down each of these formulas and explain the effects of each one. Dr. Raw’s cannabis oils have been ultra-distilled to remove the cannabis taste and odors, which further purifies the beneficial cannabinoids, THC and CBD. The convenient dropper bottle and light coconut flavor make them an easy and pleasant way to consume cannabis.
