Tinctures are a liquid form that is made by infusing cannabis typically with glycerin or alcohol. They are often used for medicinal purposes, are taken orally, and can contain high levels of both Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). Most tinctures are distributed through an eyedropper under the tongue for faster absorption.
