Getting crafty in the kitchen doesn’t have to be strenuous or break the bank either. With several cannabis tinctures on the market harnessing unique cannabinoid ratios, creating our own healthier cannabis edibles is easier than ever.
There is no shortage of options for cannabis edibles, from drinks, gummies, chocolates, mints, and more. But with so many nuances and individual food needs, even with all those options, sometimes we still can’t find what we need. Whether allergies, dietary restrictions, or personal preference, pre-made edibles can only go so far when catering to our every need. Enter tinctures.
Tinctures are a concentrated form of cannabis made through an extraction method, usually with alcohol. If made at home, tinctures tend to be full-spectrum extractions, replicating the entire plant profile natural to that strain. When shopping for tinctures at a dispensary, industrial extraction equipment has made it possible to dial into certain cannabinoid ratios to achieve specific effects. From pure CBD tinctures to pure THC options, CBD:THC ratios, and tinctures highlighting minor cannabinoids like CBN or CBG. Specific cannabinoids can have diversifying effects allowing the consumer to dose differently depending on the desired effect.
Tinctures can be taken directly under the tongue or creatively infused into any dish. Tinctures can unlock infinite possibilities for infusing food that truly caters to our individual needs and creates a connecting experience with our food and medicine.
Being proactive about our health starts with the food we eat, the essential fuel we give our bodies to thrive. In a world of fast-food lanes, microwave dinners, and mass-produced monoculture farms, seeking fresh organic food that can nourish and heal our bodies is crucial to our health. By marrying cannabis with a nutritious meal, we create a recipe for a balanced body.
