Creating a non-psychoactive marijuana tincture is a great way to enjoy the wellness benefits of cannabis without the “high.” This type of tincture focuses on cannabinoids like CBD while minimizing THC, making it ideal for relaxation, balance, and daily use. How to make a Non-psychoactive Marijuana Tincture
To start, choose high-CBD, low-THC cannabis flower or hemp. The key step is decarboxylation, which activates beneficial compounds. Preheat your oven to 220–240°F, break the flower into small pieces, and bake it on a lined tray for about 30–40 minutes.
Next, combine the decarboxylated cannabis with high-proof food-grade alcohol (such as ethanol) in a glass jar. A common ratio is 1 gram of cannabis to 1 ounce of alcohol. Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake it gently once a day for about 2–3 weeks to help extract cannabinoids and terpenes.
After steeping, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh into a clean container. This removes plant material, leaving you with a smooth tincture. For a milder, non-psychoactive result, you can further dilute it or blend it with carrier oils like MCT oil.
Store your tincture in a dark dropper bottle for easy use. Take it sublingually (under the tongue) or add it to drinks. This method offers a discreet, controlled way to experience cannabis benefits without intoxication. How to make a Non-psychoactive Marijuana Tincture
