Production of cannabis tinctures

Cannabis tinctures are a liquid concentration of marijuana, where the THC and cannabinoids have been extracted with alcohol or extracted from the plant parts. Although tinctures are still very unknown and not exactly one of the most widespread methods of consumption, it is an extremely interesting thing, especially for medical use. Not least because with tinctures an exact dosage can be made and they can be taken discreetly at any time. Just a few drops of tincture under the tongue are enough and you quickly feel the effects.

Unlike ingestion through eating, tinctures are absorbed much faster in the body, usually within 15 minutes. When eating marijuana, it takes 1-1.5 hours for the effect to kick in. Of course, again the quality of the tincture depends on the quality of the flowers used. Tinctures are characterised by a long-lasting and intense effect. Another advantage is that they are odourless until the vial is opened and it is an excellent way to use cannabis medicinally without having to put up with the negative aspects of smoking.

You can easily make the tincture yourself, here is a recipe for it:

Ingredients:

• 90% alcohol (ethanol is best, in any case suitable for consumption)
• the buds of your choice
• a small glass jar with lid
• Dropper bottle, UV-protected

 Instructions:

• Think about how much tincture you want to make. For 35 ml of alcohol, 1-6 g of weed are needed, depending on your preference. Usually 3-4 drops are used for one dose. 35 ml corresponds to approx. 25 drops.
• Prepare the appropriate amount of dried grass and grind it with a grinder. It should be dried, because moist plant material is not suitable for making tinctures.
• Put the weed together with the alcohol in a jar with a lid. The plant material should float completely in the alcohol.
• Allow the grass-alcohol mixture to infuse for 1 week, shaking/stirring 1x daily.
• After about 1 week, filter the mixture through a fine sieve and put it into a vial with a pipette. It must be protected from UV rays (dark brown, black), as these would destroy the THC and other cannabinoids in the tincture.
• Keep the tincture cool
