Cannabis tinctures are perfect for anyone seeking a smokeless and highly customizable experience. They are meant for sublingual use and not to be vaped or smoked. Let’s break it down.
What Are Tinctures?
Tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts and are usually made by soaking the plant in alcohol or oil to pull out cannabinoids, terpenes and other plant compounds. They come in small bottles with a dropper, allowing you to measure your dose and adjust it over time.
Under the Tongue
Placing a drop or two under your tongue allows the cannabinoids to absorb quickly into your bloodstream through the tissues in your mouth. Compared to edibles, the high is more immediate and tends to be more gentle.
Why It’s Great:
- Fast onset (usually 15–30 minutes)
- Easy to measure and adjust your dose
- Discreet, portable and smoke-free
Investment Level:
Medium
How It’s Used:
Shake the bottle, use the dropper to measure your dose and place the drops under your tongue. Hold for 30–60 seconds before swallowing.

Mixed Into Food or Drink
Not a fan of the taste? One of the easiest ways to use tinctures, especially if you’re new to them, is by blending them into something you already enjoy. Think your fave tea, smoothies, soup, even a spoonful of yogurt. When mixed into food or drink, tinctures are absorbed through your digestive system, which means they’ll take a bit longer to kick in, but the effects tend to last longer.
Why It’s Great:
- Easy to incorporate into your routine
- Longer-lasting than smoking or vaping
- No taste of cannabis if masked in food or drink
Investment Level:
Medium
How It’s Used:
Measure your dose and mix it into your drink or meal. Expect effects in 45–90 minutes.
