Does anyone REALLY use tincture?

Thanks for filling in the details. This looks like some good specific information. It also sounds like you are able to make some decent strength product. While my alchohol based tincture will get you stoned with just one or two ml your glycerine based product that uses just 15 ml sounds reasonably strong.

I also make bubble hash. The last time I tried coating some killer buds with the hash while it was still wet. The results were excellent. When the hash dried on the buds it held firmly and made for some really good hash joints when cut and rolled like regular buds. It is way easier then trying to add hash to a joint.:smokin:

I am sorry about the typo, the one is supposed to be a . (period) lol, as each dropper is approximately one ml and she takes one half a dropper. So it should read my wife takes .5ml and not 15ml.:thumbsup:

I make my own tincture, and that seems to be why mine works and the kind you get at dispensaries doesn't.

Whoever said that it's not an efficient way to use weed is absolutely correct. Vaping is the most efficient. I am fortunate to usually have ample material to make tincture correctly.

Lots of people use trimmings for their tincture, whereas I use only buds. I measure everything carefully and make it the same way (same strain of bud, too) every time. I also let it evaporate at room-air until it is half the volume that I made it - sometimes a 1/4 or the original, if I have time. That gets rid of a good deal of the alcohol. Then, I measure it and put it in my coffee and have some toast with butter at the same time. An hour later, I am much happier, more productive, move better and am pain free! That'll last 4-6 hours. Seems to me that tinctures may be a bit less impairing in the thinking department, too.

The reason I like the tincture is because I get a consistent, predictable product, that has a longer shelf-life than buds stored in a glass jar. If you keep it right, you can probably use tincture for like 5 years. (Think about it- when was the last time you worried about how old the gin in the liquor cabinet was - never - it really never goes "bad" - gets weaker, but most folks would still use it)

I think tinctures are getting a bad name, because people aren't making them right or concentrated enough. They travel a lot better than weed and are easier to keep in "plain sight".

I believe tinctures to be incredibly efficient in every way, they surely are the bomb.

You would have to vape non-stop and still not equal the amount you can injest via tincture in a short period of time and there is no loss with the tincture.

It also gets to other areas of the body through the digestive tract.

Look up phoenix tears oil, this is an alternative to that even.
