In this article, we will try to resolve the doubts you have raised with us concerning a subject that seems to arouse enough curiosity among canna-lovers, how to make a tincture of marijuana? This question arises because the world of cannabis has evolved at a truly forced pace, and consumption patterns have evolved in unison. From diluting the trichomes with gas and transforming them into a piece of bread after extracting the residual gas with a vacuum bell to cook by obtaining the famous cannabis oil. However, it is still not that.
Therefore, the classic option of making a good joint with old-fashioned weed remains the most desired option by marijuana smokers. However, a problem that arises is that consumers cannot smoke for a while due to medical problems such as bronchitis or pharyngitis. Some people do not want to punish their lungs by the traditional method. And that is where the idea for the cannabis tincture came from. Currently, people use cannabis tinctures and marijuana after reading the instructions given on marijuana packaging boxes. However, they do not know how to extract the benefits. More importantly, it can be the information that cannabis tincture can also be prepared at home. So, let us look at everything about cannabis in detail!
What is the tincture of marijuana?
Cannabis tincture is a marijuana and alcohol preparation that can be used for medicinal purposes. It is a way of extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from marijuana so that you can consume them and enjoy their effects without having to smoke them, thus avoiding the high levels derived from traditional combustion.
Benefits of tincture of cannabis
Marijuana tincture is used to relieve a variety of ailments: arthritis, pain (head, muscle, pain in general), rheumatism, inflammation, tendonitis, etc. It may even lessen the effects of chemotherapy, such as nausea or lack of appetite.
How to make cannabis tincture?
We will explain two different recipes step by step, how to make marijuana tincture at home, very simple and economical. The two recipes are similar, but the first will be ready in two weeks, while the second will take a month. I can tell you that with the second, although it is slower, the results are better because you get a more potent tincture. Let’s get straight to the point? Let us start!
Recipe number # 1
Ingredients:
One liter of an alcoholic drink over 40 degrees
The higher the alcohol content, the better it will be.
50 grams of cannabis buds,
Colander, mixer, measuring jug, a small funnel, container with lid, muslin cloth (fine and transparent fabric)
Taster.
Preparation:
You have to grind the cannabis. The reason is that if you were going to use it to make a joint (that is to say too fine), then you have to heat the cannabis so that the mixture has the psychoactive effect that you want, it is decarboxylation.
It must be heated to 115ºC for 30 minutes in the oven. After that, put the marijuana in a jar and pour half a liter of the liquor we have chosen, then close the jar and shake it. Once shaken, put the jar with the mixture in the freezer for a week and shake a little twice a day.
After a week, we place the muslin cloth in the colander and strain the tincture in the measuring jug, so that we filter out any leftover cannabis scraps and only collect the liquid.
Recipe number # 2
Ingredients:
50 grams of cannabis buds.
One liter of an alcoholic drink over 40 degrees.
A large jar or bottle.
Preparation:
First, do the same as in the first recipe i.e., put your weed in the oven for 30 minutes at 115º to activate its psychoactive properties. I remind you that this scientific principle is called decarboxylation.
The next step is to put the cannabis in the pot. In this recipe, it is not necessary to crush it. After that, we pour the alcoholic drink that we have chosen until we cover the marijuana, close the pot and shake it. The next step is to keep it in a cool, dark place (in this recipe, it is not necessary to put it in the freezer) for a month, shaking the jar a little once a week.
After four weeks, we open the jar and leave it open for another week for the alcohol to evaporate, filter the contents into a dropper and have another way to make our tincture!
We provide you with drippers for cannabis extracts or these mother tinctures. These are extra-thick, ultraviolet glass drippers for storing and rationing your cannabis extracts, we have them in different sizes, and they are perfect for storing cannabis extracts anywhere.
The administration of the tincture of marijuana is done using a dropper. We can place a few drops under the tongue to quickly notice the effects of cannabis or we can also use these drops to mix with food or drink. It will depend on whether you are a regular cannabis user or on the contrary, whether you are doing it for the first time or a little diligently. If your situation is that of an unusual consumer or if it is your first drink, start gradually. Ideally starting with a drop, you can put it in your favorite food, a glass of milk, etc., and analyze the effects produced. If you do not notice too much effect, the next day, take up to two drops, and so on, until you find the right dose. The method may take time to complete. So, if you cannot give this time, you can find custom CBD boxes on store shelves with the name of cannabis or CBD tincture.
You must know that the effects of the cannabis tincture are not on display for 30 minutes or 1.5 hours, and will depend on each body and how accustomed you are to the presence of cannabinoids in your body. The properties will be the same as if you had traditionally smoked the weed, so if you use a very Indica strain you will enjoy a pleasant relaxation, but if you go for a Sativa, you will have a more active mental experience and a higher high.
Conclusion
More and more people are choosing to use this type of tincture because it is a very discreet and, at the same time effective way of consuming cannabis: it does not leave any odor; the packaging is small. And, it fits almost in any pocket, administration is quick.
Now that you know all the keys to making your tincture of marijuana, get to work. It is a very interesting option to consume cannabis when you can’t do it the usual way, or you do not like it, do not miss the amazing properties of marijuana!
