CBD tincture is an alcohol-based extract that contains cannabidiol (CBD) derived from hemp or other plants in the Cannabis sativa family. It is made by using high proof alcohol as a solvent to extract the natural compounds of the cannabis plant, and it’s also used in the finished product. This method of processing preserves the cannabinoids and protects against oxidation, but it does require a lot of refinement and filtration. CBD tinctures are generally made from high CBD strains of hemp, with 60 to 70 percent alcohol, and are primarily used to help relieve anxiety or ease pain. They are convenient, have a long shelf life, and are absorbed easily when taken under the tongue. The dose can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of drops taken. CBD oils and tinctures are similar products that both contain CBD derived from hemp or other plants in the Cannabis sativa family. Although both products are similar and share many benefits, their compositions and the methods that manufacturers use to produce them vary. CBD oils are generally made with just two ingredients: CBD and carrier oil.
