Tincture and Cannabutter Explained

Cannabutter

Before we delve into the recipes, here are some things to know about tinctures and cannabutter if you are using them to make edibles or infused drinks.

Cannabutter is made by extracting the cannabinoids into a fat. Cannabinoids like THC are fat-soluble, so with cannabutter, you will absorb a good amount. For tinctures, the cannabis is extracted using alcohol or glycerin and has a neutral taste or natural flavors are added.

For both tinctures and cannabutter, the cannabis is decarboxylated, which activates the cannabinoids to feel their effects. When tinctures or cannabutter are added to food or drinks they must pass through the liver to be metabolized. So the effects may not be felt for up to two hours after eating and may last six hours or more. Taking cannabis tincture sublingually (under your tongue) produces more immediate effects in about 15-30 minutes.

Recipes Using Tinctures

Tonic Drops

When making your own cannabis-infused foods or drinks, it’s fun to get creative and customize to your liking. Choose a tincture from Tonic Drops with THC or a THC to CBD ratio and the amount that fits the effects you desire. Three full droppers equal one 10mg serving of THC. Kick off football season with these canna-licious recipes using tincture.
