CBD is one of the 100 different types of cannabinoid compounds present in the marijuana or cannabis plant today. In particular, it can be present in the flowers or the buds of the cannabis plant. Except for the seeds, all parts of the plant contain this compound. Unlike the delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compound extracted from the same plant, CBD tinctures do not have an intoxicating effect.

A large portion of the CBD produced in the United States comes from hemp, a cousin of the cannabis plant. After the passing of the Farm Bill, it is now legal to cultivate hemp if it does not contain more than 0.3 percent THC.

What are CBD Tinctures?

The preparation process of CBD tinctures involves using high CBD strains of hemp along with 60 to 70 percent alcohol. These tinctures assist in alleviating problems like nervousness and torment. Generally, CBT tinctures are completely safe when they are taken for a long time. Also are very effective when taken directly under the tongue.

According to Kevin Boehnke, a research specialist at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, tinctures are a form of a compound that can be directly consumed in the mouth under the tongue. According to the requirement, you can adjust the dosage. You can increase or decrease the drops as per your need.

The traditional method of preparing CBD tincture is saturating the CBD containing parts of the marijuana plant particularly the buds and flowers in a fluid such as alcohol or a solution of alcohol and water. The whole process lasts for a very long period- mostly weeks. These resulting CBD tincture solutions are put in a dark-colored glass container with a dropper.

A new method of preparing the CBD tincture has also evolved, it involves soaking the hemp in a plant-based oil or any other substance. For preparing CBD tinctures, this is the most popular strategy nowadays.
