#One spirit sativa tincture full#
A rule of thumb on dose is that patients receive benefit from 3-4 drops to a couple of full droppers depending upon the potency of the tincture and the patient’s own unique requirements among other factors. Usually, a tincture dose is delivered by means of a medicine dropper or a teaspoon. While tincture absorbed in an empty stomach is accomplished in minutes, conversion in the liver remains, as does the difficulty in titrating dose. When tincture is used in a beverage, absorption will be slower than if absorbed under the tongue.
Many patients, though, add their tincture to a cup of tea or cranberry juice for easy delivery.
One trick is to not swallow the dose as, if swallowed, absorption will be in the GI tract. Absorption by the arterial blood supply under the tongue is completed in seconds. These sprays are not expected to be approved for use in the United States for years and will be very expensive. English pharmaceutical companies are presently working on a cannabis extract “spray” that can be used under the tongue in a similar fashion. Most tinctures are made to be used under the tongue or sublingually. Tincture is designed to address the problems of rapid medicine delivery and consistent dosing. Orally delivered cannabis can present a problem in achieving the required or desired dose level in any consistent fashion. Orally delivered cannabis requires four to ten times the amount of the smoked version in order to achieve the same effect. Medicine is processed first by the liver, which converts some cannabinoids such as delta nine to delta 11 version of THC. The GI tract gradually absorbs Cannabinoids over the course of one to two hours. Oral cannabis, such as our Better Bud Butter, is absorbed in a very different fashion from smoking or inhalation. Since the effects of inhaled cannabis are so quick, it is easy for patients to titrate their dose by simply waiting a minute or two in between puffs. The same effect can be achieved with a vaporizer, which is safer than smoking burning vegetable matter. Medicine is absorbed in the lungs and goes directly to the brain and general circulation. Smoking cannabis delivers the active cannabinoids within seconds. These patients are in something of a bind. Many patients who utilize and benefit from medical cannabis do not wish to smoke due to the perceived health hazards of smoking or for other personal reasons.
