How do I use a CBD tincture?
How to take a CBD tincture – it’s easy! Start with 1/2 dropper and increase as needed. Hold under your tongue and in your cheek for 60 seconds for max absorption, then swallow. Allow 15 mins for effects. Here are guidelines to use for an average CBD tincture dosage:
- 1/2 of a Dropper (0.5 mL) = 20mg CBD + 10mg CBG
- 1 Dropper (1.0 mL) = 40mg CBD + 20mg CBG
While sublingual absorption is fastest, you can also add CBD tincture to food or drinks – they are particularly delicious in a fruit smoothie!
Use within 12 months of opening. Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs.

CBD OIL TINCTURES FAQ
What is a CBD tincture?
A CBD tincture is a liquid extract made from the cannabis plant, specifically formulated to be taken sublingually (under the tongue). It typically contains CBD (cannabidiol) suspended in a carrier oil like hemp seed oil or MCT oil. Unlike CBD oil, tinctures are often alcohol-based and can have additional flavors or herbs to enhance their effects and taste.
What Are the Benefits of CBD Tinctures?
CBD tinctures offer several benefits, including:
- Ease of Use: The dropper allows for precise dosing.
- Fast Absorption: Sublingual administration means quicker onset of effects.
- Versatility: Can be added to food or drinks if desired.
- Long Shelf Life: Alcohol-based tinctures, in particular, have a longer shelf life compared to other CBD products.
How Do I Choose the Right CBD Tincture?
When selecting a CBD tincture, consider the following factors:
- Source of CBD: Ensure it’s derived from organically grown hemp.
- Extraction Method: Look for products made using CO2 extraction for purity.
- Third-Party Testing: Verify that the product has been tested by an independent lab for potency and contaminants.
- Ingredients: Check for additional ingredients that may enhance or detract from the product’s benefits.
Where Can I Buy CBD Tinctures?
CBD tinctures can be purchased from a variety of sources including:
- Online Retailers: Many reputable brands sell directly through their websites.
- Health Food Stores: Some health food stores carry CBD products.
- Dispensaries: In states where cannabis is legal, dispensaries often offer a range of CBD tinctures.
- Pharmacies: Some pharmacies now stock CBD products due to their growing popularity and acceptance.
Can CBD Tinctures Get You High?
No, CBD tinctures will not get you high. CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), another compound found in cannabis. Most CBD tinctures contain minimal to no THC.
How long does a CBD tincture last in your system?
How long a CBD tincture stays in your system can depend on a few factors, including your dosage, metabolism, and individual body chemistry – everyone’s endocannabinoid system is different!
Generally, CBD is thought to have a half life of 18 – 32 hours. This means that it can take 18 – 32 hours for the amount of CBD in your blood stream to be reduced by half. For occasional users, CBD might be detectable in the system for a few days. For regular consumers, especially those taking higher doses, it might take a week or more for CBD to fully clear from their system.
How Should I Store My CBD Tincture?
Store your CBD tincture in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage will help maintain its potency and extend its shelf life. An unopened tincture can last up to a year, while an opened one is best used within 6 months.
Is a Prescription Required for CBD Tinctures?
In most places, a prescription is not required to purchase CBD tinctures. However, it’s important to check your local regulations as laws regarding CBD products can vary. Always buy from reputable sources to ensure you are getting a high-quality product.
Why take a CBD tincture vs gummies?
Most people who take a CBD oil tincture do so because they do not want to consume any sugar. A pure CBD tincture is a great option for a diabetic, or if you want the added benefits of MCT Oil.
However, the onset of a full spectrum CBD tincture is much faster, typically 15 minutes vs. 30-90 minutes for gummies and edibles, depending on the person. This makes it easier to experiment as well – you can take a small amount, see how you feel in 20 minutes and then decide whether to take more or not.
For those wanting the FASTEST onset and zero calories, smoking or vaping CBD is the best option – but some people simply never put anything in their lungs except oxygen! We respect that choice, which is why we create healthy gummies and tinctures for our customers as well.
