Before marijuana prohibition, the most popular form of consuming cannabis was through a tincture. Pharmacies across the US used to carry bottles of cannabis tincture on their shelves as the go-to medicine for Americans treating pain, nausea, insomnia, and many other common ailments. Even after it was outlawed, making tincture remained one of the most effective ways to use marijuana medicinally, because tinctures provide consistent doses, potency, and effects.

Now we're easing out of the prohibition era, cannabis-derived tinctures are popping up everywhere from medical dispensaries to gas stations and grocery stores. Of course, not all tincture is good. So if we want to use tincture as an everyday medicine as they did back in the day, what should we know about finding and using a quality medical cannabis tincture?

In this episode host Brit Smith talks to the founder of the most popular tincture company in Massachusetts, Peter Glantz from Howl’s Tincture. They discuss the 5,000-year-old history of making whole plant medicine, and how that history inspired the concoctions Peter now makes.

They also cover what ailments patients say are best treated with cannabis tinctures, how tincture helps with so many illnesses, how to dose yourself with different ratios of CBD to THC, the difference between extraction and infusion, and why the method of making the tincture should matter to medical patients.
