Tinctures are one of many alternative to smoking if you want to use legal cannabis
Some people are still put off by the idea of legal recreational marijuana use among adults.
First they said that homicidal Mexican cartels would march across the border and infiltrate all of the peaceful American suburbs containing cannabis dispensaries.
The fear tactic worked for a while as it suppressed voting on these laws, but when states saw a reduction in violent crime with the implementation of legal cannabis markets, this argument fell flat. When opponents tried to say that marijuana use would be a gateway to more dangerous intoxicants, the reality of alcohol abuse and its effects on families was always a shadow looming behind these claims. For whatever these people believed, reality has since proved them wrong. And the ones who claimed that smoking cannabis is just as bad as smoking tobacco, I would direct them to tinctures and capsules. I can find both at nearly all of the cannabis dispensaries in my county. Tinctures are great because the cannabinoids are suspended in what is typically a weak alcohol solution, and you take the dropper and put drops under your tongue. Lots of the cannabis gets absorbed in your mouth while the rest absorbs in your digestive tract. It’s important to have tinctures as a choice because they’re the answer for people who don’t want to inhale anything, regardless of whether or not it’s smoke or vapor. They can also be more effective than capsules for some people who have issues with cannabinoids absorbing in their stomach or small intestine. The tinctures allow much of the medicine to enter the bloodstream before it reaches the esophagus and the acidic stomach.
