A Delta 8 THC tincture is a concentrated liquid extract that infuses cannabinoids into alcohol or other liquid bases, such as MCT oil, hemp seed oil, and vegetable oil. People prefer tincture over other forms because it increases the shelf life of the delta 8 THC and gives them a strong, concentrated form of delta 8. The impact of a tincture on the body is more than other products.
Delta 8 THC has proved its mettle medically and in other forms. But, the thing is many people don’t know how to use the Delta 8 THC tincture.
In this post, we will discuss the methods or steps to use a Delta 8 THC tincture. With these methods, you will have a better experience.
Method 1: Drop and swallow
One of the simplest methods to use Delta 8 THC tincture is to drop and swallow. For this, you need to fill the dropper with oil by squeezing the rubber top and allowing it to suck up some oil. Once the dropper gets filled, drop the oil directly into your mouth and swallow. You should fill the dropper with one squeeze of the black topper, making sure that the oil fills the glass dropper by ¾ of the way.
Generally, one pump of the dropper is around 1 ml of oil. But, still, you should be aware of the quantity before using the Delta 8 THC tincture. It’s better to start slow if you are more sensitive to THC.
Method 2: Go sublingual
This is similar to the first method or a modification of the first method. In this method, you don’t need to swallow the oil directly right away; just hold the oil underneath your tongue for a minute or two.
As Delta 8 THC is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract and first-pass liver, this method has the fastest onset of effects. It usually takes about 10 minutes. The only problem is that you might feel uncomfortable if the taste of the tincture is not good.
Method 3: Try mixing
Often, the flavor of Delta 8 THC tincture is not good. So, swallowing it directly or holding it underneath the tongue is not easy. To overcome the bad taste, it’s better to mix it with something flavorful.
You shouldn’t add the tincture to tea or juice because the oil doesn’t mix well with water. The oil is going to float to the surface of the drink. When you drink it, you will get a direct hit of the oil floating on the top.
Better options to mix the tincture are bulletproof coffee in the morning or a turmeric latte in the evenings. The addition of milk, cream, or butter distributes the tincture nicely and evenly throughout the beverage.
Method 4: Apply topically
If you don’t want to consume Delta 8 THC tincture orally, apply it topically just like CBD. The effect will be very similar to oral consumption. It’s because the Delta 8 distillate and carrier oil in the tincture are well-suited for topical use like they are for internal use.
When applying topically, you should take only a small amount. Too much oil on the skin will leave messy grease. You should rub the oil properly before adding any more. Using a Delta 8 THC tincture is simple. So, you shouldn’t overthink it. Just follow the methods mentioned above as explained.
