I've had my first experience taking a THC tincture

[Siwsan]

I was snowed-in, yesterday, so I gave it an afternoon test run. The recommended 'starter' dose of 0.25ml was a bit more powerful than I anticipated so I might cut back, a bit, next time.

I'm thinking about adding it to my 'sleepy time' tea, at night. It will take longer to kick in, but that timing might relax me enough to snooze past my usual 4am wake up. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

1. I have tried a tincture as well and found it had a postive but subtle effect.

I am sort of a large specimen, it's possible I need a larger dose.

2. My first time ever, I took way too much.

I was like: "When is it going to kick in?......when is it going to kick in?......when is it......Oh SHIT!...…"

10. i did the same thing!!! I woke up during the night to go potty and stood up...

..fell flat on my butt! I blamed it on the tequila but I didnt go to bed drunk so figured out it was the tincture.

It wasnt like a green out tho..which I did when I made cookies using a CUP of bud flour. It was more of a drunk...

13. At the peak of effectiveness, I was wide awake, but absolutely immobile.

I couldn't move so much as a finger. I finally understood why people call it being stoned. I felt like someone had hit me in the head with a rock, and I felt all of the resulting effects except pain.

3. I've tried it once, took forever to kick in..loved it.

I'm super jealous of you guys in the legal states.

...a criminal...Im almost 70

11. I know the feeling.

14. Since September 2019 I've

a medical cannabis card. When I informed my wife of my intention of getting one her reply was “are FUCKING KIDDING?!!” Since that time I’ve, just about, weaned myself off of opiates. My wife’s skepticism has eased... I’m gonna try the tincture as I’ve never tried cannabis. Well without smoking or vaping it, that is. 😀😂🥴

12. If you think you're jealous now...

I just scored a joint called Tiger's Blood. I'm going to try it the next time Mrs. Aristus is out of town. The guy at the cannabis store said it was so strong, he could only smoke half of one. I'm looking forward to seeing if he was right. I can let you know how it worked out, if you like.

4. I use it topically for skin issues.

Works great on some and not others, but always worth a try. A few drops on some cotton and apply.

5. I have some CBD RSO that works great

I'm curious to see if it is effective on things like poison ivy rashes.

6. Great for cuts so they dont

Scare and some infections.

7. I make salve

and my daughter with psoriasis uses it... seems to work for her

8. i find it to less abrasive than edibles..I found a cpl bottles I bought years ago..

..and decided to try them again. I didnt find they were helpful before but this time I just did a whole dropper full and it was more effective. My wake up time is 3 am but I am trying to stay in bed til 4!

15. Thinking of getting a

tincture. I’ve tried a CBD tincture I bought from a vapor outlet (gone Out of Business). I’m sure an tincture with THC will have a different effect than a tincture with only CBD. Since starting cannabis use in September, my last use quite awhile ago, my sleep has gotten much, MUCH better. Vaping cannabis, I’m discovering, does not last too long, and living in an apartment, no smoking, flower is OUT. That leaves using a THC tincture for nighttime use AND one for day.. I hope it lasts longer than does vapes. Flower lasts longer than vapes, which I can’t use.

16. I've actually found the best relief for insomnia, using Indica strain gummies

I tried what they called a hybrid THC gummie, and it works but not as well as the Indica. I've got a vape pipe and some Pink Kush oil. It works, ok, but I'm not that fond of vaping. I probably just need to get back into the habit, I guess. Kind of the same thing with flower.

I also take CBD and it has worked miracles on my anxiety attacks but hasn't had a significant impact on my insomnia.

17. In a few days

I’ll have to make a trip to the dispensary. The bottle ain’t much, lasted less than the vape I’d used. It’s back to vaping it. Also I’m just about weaned myself off opioids.
