FAQ
Common questions.
What does a ratio like 1:1 or 18:1 mean?
It is the proportion of CBD to THC. 1:1 is balanced and mildly psychoactive; 18:1 is heavily CBD-dominant and barely intoxicating, suited to daytime relief.
How do I take a tincture?
Place the dose under your tongue and hold it for about 60 seconds before swallowing. Sublingual absorption gives a faster, more predictable onset than swallowing it outright.
How long does a tincture take to work?
Held sublingually, you may feel effects in 15–45 minutes. Swallowed, it behaves more like an edible and can take over an hour.
