CBD Tinctures

What is CBD tincture?

And more precisely, is CBD tincture the same as pure CBD oil? This last question is no, although tincture and oil are often erroneously used as synonyms.

CBD tincture is an alcohol-based solution infused with cannabidiol. Not everyone likes the distinct flavor of hemp, so CBD tinctures often contain flavorings (flavored liquid or flavored CBD oil) to mask it.

By adding preferably organic flavorings, producers disguise the unusual taste of cannabidiol. But the best CBD tinctures are also flavorless tinctures, which is another difference between CBD tinctures vs. oil.

Besides tinctures with isolated CBD, there are broad-spectrum CBD tinctures and full-spectrum CBD tinctures to choose from. For those of you that require large dosings, there are also high potency full-spectrum tinctures.

And, of course, tinctures are not the only way to take CBD. There are numerous ways of consuming CBD.

CBD’s (cannabidiol) association with illegal drugs

We can imagine some of you raising your eyebrows when reading about cannabidiol, cannabis, or hemp.

CBD is entirely legal worldwide

Almost. Because CBD does not get you high, cause euphoria, or any other psychoactive effects, it is entirely legal in most countries and even in the US on a federal level, thanks to the 2014 Farm Bill.

However, some states, e.g., Indiana, have different laws that conflict with federal law, confusing things.

CBD is only one of the cannabinoids from cannabis or hemp. It has a diverse range of health benefits, including a massive list of potential uses still being researched.

A list of the pros and cons of hemp oil would only show advantages because it has virtually no side effects. It has no psychoactive properties and cannot get you high as it contains minimal THC—under 0.3% by law.

Is the production of CBD legal since it is made from hemp?

Cannabis and hemp are the same plant species, just as Great Danes and Chihuahuas are both dogs. However, producers cultivate industrial hemp with minimal THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid, and a large amount of CBD, making cannabidiol tincture very different from a tincture of cannabis.

Cannabidiol is an entirely organic product, and it is impossible to suffer a CBD overdose. Deriving CBD from industrial hemp, you get high-quality CBD.

Are you still wondering why so many people use a CBD supplement?

Interaction of CBD with our body

No petrochemical processes, no harmful side effects, no astronomical prices. CBD only has positive effects on the human body. It is equally beneficial for pets, and many dog owners have helped the health of their furry friends with CBD.

CBD is primarily the organic twin of endocannabinoids, one of the varieties of neurotransmitters produced by your body. Endocannabinoids interact with many neuroreceptors in your brain and body, working to balance your immune system, pain responses, sleep, and appetite, among others.

Some people add cannabis oil to their CBD oil to make it stronger if CBD alone doesn’t cope with severe pain or insomnia, for example. CBD counteracts the intoxicating effects of cannabis drops to a certain extend.

How to take CBD tincture

There are different ways how to use CBD tinctures. The most effective way to take CBD tincture is sublingual, by placing drops under the tongue.

This method enables the supplement to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.  The tincture needs around one and a half minutes to be absorbed by your body before you should swallow.

Serving size

CBD is a food supplement, so you can determine freely how much you need. People with severe pain and anxiety use as much as 100 mg daily. For general health support, others report using 30 mg as a daily serving. Each individual and situation is different, so the serving size needs to be adapted accordingly.

Other CBD products

Besides CBD drops, tinctures, and kush flavored e-juice, there is CBD food, such as hemp gummy bears. You can take CBD the conventional way with CBD gel caps.

We compared CBD isolate vs. full spectrum and explain the benefits of having more cannabinoids. CBD crystals 1000mg can be taken sublingually for a quick effect or be dissolved in a hot drink.

Young people often prefer to dab CBD relaxation syrup or CBD dab wax, and the hipsters amongst us may like to sip all day on a bottle of hemp-infused water. iDWeeds does not only test and review CBD products, but we do the same with cannabis products.

For example, we compared THC crystals vs. wax. And be aware that you can now buy cannabis wax online in some states, as well as other THC products.

While you are feeling great due to the CBD health boost, don’t forget about your pet. CBD pet treats have just the same positive effects on your pet’s health as they do on yours.

If you have skin issues or would like to keep your skin looking youthful, try CBD skin products. There are many benefits to CBD skincare over regular medication.
