Dosing cannabis tincture comes down to one rule: start low and go slow. Begin with a single 1–2 mg THC dose, hold it under your tongue for about a minute, then wait a full 90 minutes before deciding whether to take more. Tinctures feel fast under the tongue but build slowly in the body, so patience matters more than math.

Medical Cannabis Tincture vs Oil: Convenience as the Deciding Factor

Key Features

  • Calibrated dropper marked in milliliters so every dose is repeatable
  • Label states total THC and CBD per bottle and per milliliter
  • Sublingual hold of 60–90 seconds for the fastest onset
  • Alcohol, MCT oil, or glycerin carrier, each with a different absorption speed
  • Amber glass bottle that shields cannabinoids from light
  • Child-resistant cap and a tamper seal for safe storage
  • A simple dose log tracking milligrams, time, and effect

Materials and Specs

Most tinctures arrive in 15 mL or 30 mL amber glass dropper bottles. Do the math before you pour: a 30 mL bottle labeled 300 mg THC holds about 10 mg per mL, so the half-milliliter line on the dropper is roughly 5 mg. Oil-based tinctures tend to taste milder and hold longer, while alcohol-based ones absorb faster and burn slightly under the tongue. Store yours upright at room temperature, away from sunlight and heat, and shake before each use so the cannabinoids stay evenly mixed.

Shipping and Returns

Orders ship in discreet, plain packaging, and tinctures travel safely at room temperature, so no special handling is needed. Check your order as soon as it lands; unopened bottles are typically returnable within the posted window, while opened bottles usually are not for safety reasons. If anything arrives damaged or leaking, contact support with your order number and they will make it right.

Can I mix tincture into food or drinks?

Yes, but it slows absorption and softens the peak. If you go that route, dose as you would an edible and wait two hours before redosing.

What should I do if I take too much?

Stay calm, sip water, and rest; unwanted effects fade within a few hours. Contact a poison control center or a clinician if symptoms feel severe.
