CBD tinctures are liquid extracts made from the cannabis plant, specifically using cannabidiol (CBD) as the active ingredient. They are typically created by soaking the plant material in alcohol or another solvent, which extracts the beneficial compounds. Tinctures are often taken sublingually, meaning they are placed under the tongue for quick absorption into the bloodstream. These products are popular for their potential health benefits, including relief from anxiety, pain, and inflammation. Unlike THC, another compound found in cannabis, CBD does not produce a psychoactive effect, making tinctures a preferred choice for those seeking therapeutic effects without the "high."
