Tinctures are often snake oil......and you can't judge it by inspection like you can w/ bud of course.

The best I've had is Sugar Leaf Premium Tincture, the 2X(double strength). Glycerin based, purified by four filterings.

Don't mix tincture. Apply directly under your tongue w/ a dropper. The effect is much different than edibles, closer to smoking but quite a smoother buzz. Fairly quick reacting within 15 minutes.

I've experimented with tincuture w/ no other smoking or any other medical application to obtain pure results. With the Sugar Leaf product, a small 1/2 oz bottle can last me a week (I am a low to mid medicator). You can pack this in your toiletry bag & fly with it (just remove the label to be safe). There are situations/environments where it is so hard to smoke & tincuture works well for that.

If you overindulge, you get sleepy but also a quick, very low-level psychedelic passage - which is quite cool. Then your dreams are unreal & crystal clear. This last part shocked me because regular to heavy smokers have always told me they dream less when medicated than when not medicated.

I can't even picture smoking the equivalent dose I did w/ that tincture experience but if I did, I would be out and probably not remember any part of a dream. Would be interested in other's experience w/ different tinctures sans bud or w/ bud.
AuggieWest Reviewed by AuggieWest on . Does anyone REALLY use tincture? A lot of the tincture I've tried seems more like snake oil. Lots of inconsistency, bad flavor, over priced, gives me headaches. Does anyone really like tincture here? Any brands you can recommend? Rating: 5
