Making Cannabis Tinctures Even Better: A Simple Change for More Options
Cannabis tinctures are a popular way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. They are easy to use, discreet, and can be added to food or drinks. But did you know that there is a type of tincture that many people can’t enjoy because of a rule that needs to be changed? This post will explain why allowing alcohol-based cannabis tinctures is a great idea and how it can benefit everyone who enjoys using cannabis.
What Are Cannabis Tinctures?
Cannabis tinctures are liquid forms of cannabis. They are made by soaking cannabis in a liquid that pulls out the good stuff, like cannabinoids and terpenes, from the plant. These tinctures can be used to help with relaxation, pain relief, sleep, and more.
Most tinctures are made using oils like MCT oil or vegetable glycerin, but there is another way to make them that uses alcohol as the liquid. Alcohol-based tinctures have been used for a long time, and they offer some cool benefits that other types of tinctures can’t provide.
Why Are Alcohol-Based Tinctures Important?
Alcohol-based tinctures can be more powerful and effective than those made with oil. Here are a few reasons why:
Stronger and Faster: Alcohol is really good at pulling out all the helpful stuff from the cannabis plant, like THC and CBD. This makes alcohol-based tinctures stronger, and they work faster because alcohol is absorbed quickly by the body, especially when taken under the tongue.
Long Shelf Life: Alcohol acts as a natural preservative, which means tinctures made with alcohol can last longer on the shelf without going bad. This is great for people who don’t use tinctures every day but still want a product that stays fresh.
Easier to Mix: Alcohol-based tinctures can easily mix with drinks or food without changing the taste too much. This makes them a great option for people who want to add cannabis to their daily routine, like mixing it into a cup of tea or a smoothie.
The Current Rule and Why It Needs to Change
Right now, in some places, the rules only allow certain kinds of tinctures, and alcohol-based tinctures are often restricted or not allowed. The reason is that alcohol can also be used in drinks, and there are concerns about mixing alcohol and cannabis in the same product.
But this rule is too strict. Alcohol-based tinctures are very different from alcoholic drinks, and they aren’t made for getting drunk. Instead, they are made to give people an effective, easy way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. By changing the rule to allow alcohol-based tinctures, more people will have access to a type of product that can work better for them.
What Would Happen if the Rule Was Changed?
If the rule is changed to allow alcohol-based tinctures, here’s what could happen:
More Choices: People will have more options when they shop for cannabis products. Some people might prefer oil-based tinctures, but others may find that alcohol-based tinctures work better for them. More options mean more ways to find what works best for your body and needs.
Better for Small Businesses: Small businesses that make cannabis products will have the chance to create new, innovative tinctures that could help more people. This change would allow them to make and sell alcohol-based tinctures, which many customers want.
Affordable and Effective: Alcohol-based tinctures can be more affordable to produce than some oil-based ones, which means they could cost less for customers while still being just as, or even more, effective.
Safe and Regulated: Of course, alcohol-based tinctures would still be made with safety in mind. They would have clear labels and instructions, just like other cannabis products, so people know exactly what they are using.
Who Benefits from the Change?
Everyone! Whether you’re a medical cannabis user looking for a strong, fast-acting option, or someone who enjoys cannabis for relaxation, having the choice of alcohol-based tinctures can be a big benefit. Plus, businesses will have the opportunity to make more products and serve more people.
Moving Forward with More Options
Changing this rule about alcohol-based tinctures would be a smart and simple way to give people more options when it comes to cannabis. It would allow businesses to be more creative and make tinctures that are stronger, longer-lasting, and easier to use.
For now, the rule still limits alcohol-based tinctures, but with more understanding and support, we can work together to make sure everyone has access to the products that work best for them. Whether you’re a long-time tincture user or just curious about how cannabis can fit into your wellness routine, having more options is always a good thing.
Let’s keep the conversation going and work toward a future where everyone can enjoy the best possible cannabis products!
