If you are a patient who suffers from symptoms including anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, or seizures there are a variety of medicines to take. The different medicines used for these symptoms can sometimes lead to addiction. Opioids in any form of pain killer have caused an epidemic of addiction and overdoses in recent years throughout the United States. Cannabidiol (CBD) is an alternative to many of these medicines without the addictiveness of opioids or anxiety medicines such as Xanax. CBD is a cannabinoid like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) without the psychoactive effects or feeling of being high.

There are many ways to ingest CBD from e-juice to concentrates. One of the easiest ways to introduce CBD to a person’s system is in the form of a tincture. A tincture uses a high proof alcohol to draw the CBD out of a decarboxylated hemp plant; this process can be done in as little as a month to a few years. The longer it is stored the more potent it becomes. Once you have the cured tincture all that is needed is an eyedropper to place several drops on or under the tongue.

Depending on what symptoms a person is trying to alleviate will factor in to the dosage needed. It will take a little experimentation to get to the correct dosage but once found an individual will be able to stay with the same dosage for several months. The dosage can also be increased or decreased as needed. In states with dispensaries a person can consult with budtenders to find out the needs per individuals, because we are all different so needs of one may not necessarily be the needs of another. Tinctures are great smoke-free way to ingest the CBD needed for what ails you. Learn more about cbd tinctures come check our site.
