After experimenting with cannabis joints, bowls, bongs, vapes and edibles, I decided that tinctures are my favorite delivery method. My lifestyle is extremely active. Whenever I have free time, I find a physical activity. I’m fortunate that my area offers a wide range of weather and vistas to explore. There are an abundance of state parks that provide scenic paths to running, walking and cycling. There are woodlands and mountains to hike and lakes for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. I like to play tennis, jump rope, water ski and snow ski. I’ve found that a little bit of an indica strain and THC gets me motivated. I have more energy and a better mindset. The stress of my job and everyday responsibilities fades to the background, and I can focus on the moment. I am careful not to become impaired. I’ve learned how much THC is ideal to enhance the activity. Tinctures are ideal for my needs. The packing is very compact and fits easily into a pocket or backpack. I don’t need to bring along a grinder, lighter, rolling papers, rolling tray, battery or any other gear. Everything necessary is included with a tincture. There is a handy dropper for application that allows micro dosing down to the milliliter. I simply place a drop or two under my tongue and wait about a minute for the liquid to be absorbed. The sublingual delivery method allows the cannabinoids to reach the bloodstream very quickly. I feel the effects within minutes. I like that consuming a tincture creates no mess, ash, smoke or odors. They don’t draw negative attention. Because I use so little, a bottle lasts me a long time. When stored properly, tinctures provide an especially long shelf-life.
