THC Drops: Enhancing Mood and Promoting Relaxation
THC drops, also known as THC tinctures or cannabis oil, are liquid extracts derived from the cannabis plant, containing high concentrations of the main psychoactive cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). They are used to induce rapid effects, provide a non-smoking alternative to smoking cannabis, and deliver precise dosing. THC drops can be taken sublingually, added to food or beverages, or used in recipes. Below, we explain how to use THC drops for different delivery methods, the different types of THC drops available, their advantages, disadvantages, and any potential side effects.
Types of THC Drops
Full Spectrum THC Extracted Oil
Full spectrum THC oil is made by extracting the THC compound from the cannabis plant and combining it with a carrier oil. The resulting oil is considered to have the broadest range of wellness benefits due to its contents of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavenoids. Some people use this oil to promote relaxation, enhance mood, and alleviate anxiety.
Delta-9 THC Oil
Delta-9 THC oil is derived from the delta-9 THC extract, which is the most psychoactive component in marijuana. This oil is used to achieve psychoactive effects, such as euphoria or a 'high.' It may also be used to manage nausea, suppress muscle spasm, and treat sleep disorders.
Isolate THC Oil
Isolate THC oil contains only delta-9 THC and no other cannabinoids. It is a pure form of THC that is typically used for specific medical conditions, as isolated THC can be a more potent dose.
