Method 1: Oral Administration
The simplest method of all. You can also squeeze the rubber cap of the dropper and draw oil in before releasing it into your mouth. Fill the dropper by squeezing the blacktop. Fill the glass dropper with oil to approximately 3/4 capacity.
One dropperful is about 1 mL. This would be equivalent to 40 mg delta 8 THC if we were using delta 8 tinctures. If you’re new to delta-8 THC or are more sensitive to THC than most, you might want to start out with half a dropper.
Method 2: Sublingual Administration
This is a variation of the first method. Instead of swallowing the oil immediately, you hold it under your tongue for one to two minutes. This allows delta-8 THC through the capillaries under the tongue to be absorbed.
Sublingual administration is the fastest way to get high, with effects typically appearing within 10 minutes.
Oral tinctures should be consumed this way. It can be uncomfortable if the oil tastes bad.
Method 3: Flavorful mix-in
If you don’t like the flavor or texture of oil, you can mix it with other flavors to mask the taste.
Oil does not mix well with water. If you add it to tea or juice and try to blend them, the oil will float on top.
It is important to mix the oil thoroughly into the drink. It’s also important to drink the mixture quickly before it separates and floats to the top.
Mixing delta 8 tincture into another beverage with a small electric mixer or blender will ensure that the oil is distributed evenly throughout the drink.
These tinctures are great for adding to bulletproof coffee or hojicha lattes. The addition of milk, butter, or cream helps to distribute the Tincture throughout the beverage.
Method 4: Topical application
The same as CBD, the delta 8 tincture is also suitable for topical application.
A large amount of oil on the skin can leave a greasy film.
Use Delta 8 THC Tinctures Correctly to Avoid Mistakes
You should not add Delta 8 tinctures to your vape pen under any circumstances. Some companies promote the use of their oils in vape pens, but this not only has a bad taste but poses serious risks. Inhaling MCT or other polyunsaturated oil is dangerous and can lead to lipoid pneumonitis, a potentially fatal condition.
Vape oils and tinctures have different properties. Vape oils are typically made up of vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, and propylene oxide. Tinctures use fatty acids like MCT or hempseed oil.
FAQ’s
1. How much Delta 8 THC Tincture should I use?
It is usually recommended to take Delta 8 THC at a dose between 10 mg and 40 mg. If desired effects are not achieved after an hour, you can take an additional dose of 10 mg.
It is better to start with a low dose and increase it gradually rather than consuming a large dosage at once. Once the Tincture is ingested, you cannot reduce the dosage. However, you can take more if necessary.
2. How long does it take for Tinctures To Work?
You can expect to see the effects within 10-30 minutes if you opt for the sublingual (under the tongue) method. The effects can be stronger and faster if you hold the Tincture for longer.
If you mix it with a beverage or immediately swallow it, the effects may not be noticeable for about an hour.
Some individuals can experience an onset that lasts up to one and a half hours. Some factors, such as eating delta 8 THC or having a slow absorption rate, can cause a longer onset time compared to people who have a quicker absorption rate.
3. What happens if I overdose on Tincture?
Delta 8 tincture is not toxic. In no case has an overdose been reported. Consuming too much of this substance can cause unpleasant side effects.
Dizziness and the feeling of being “couch-locked” are two of the most common side effects that can be experienced by excessive use of delta 8 tincture.
4. Can Tinctures cause a failed drug test?
A standard drug test can show a false-positive result if you use delta 8 THC.
It is almost impossible to distinguish between delta 8 and delta 9 THC in the absence of precise laboratory equipment. Most urine and blood drug tests detect THC without being able to distinguish between delta 8 (D8) and delta 9 (D9) THC.
We recommend that you avoid using delta-8 THC in any form if you are about to take a drug test.
It usually takes two weeks to remove delta 8 THC from the body after stopping use. To ensure that delta 8 THC is completely eliminated, we recommend abstaining for at least three weeks prior to the test.
Please be aware that the time it takes for delta 8 to completely leave your system can vary depending on how often you use the drug.
Summary:
Using delta 8 THC is an easy process that shouldn’t be overcomplicated.
It is best to hold the Tincture briefly under your tongue before swallowing. You can also directly swallow the Tincture, mix it in a drink, or apply it topically on your skin.
A quarter dropper will work for the first 10 mg of the dose. The half dropper works for the standard dose of 20 mg.
You should experiment with your dosage to find what works best for you.
