Tinctures in Brooklyn
By the JKF Team | Last updated May 1, 2026
Cannabis tinctures are liquid extracts that you take by placing drops under your tongue or adding them to food and beverages. They offer one of the most precise and controllable dosing methods available, making them a popular choice for both new and experienced cannabis consumers. At Jungle Kingdom Flower in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, we carry tinctures from trusted New York brands with clear dosing information on every bottle.
Tinctures come in small bottles with measured droppers that allow you to dose down to the milligram. When taken sublingually, meaning under the tongue, effects typically begin within fifteen to thirty minutes. This is faster than edibles but slower than smoking or vaping, striking a middle ground that many people find ideal. Tinctures are also completely smoke-free and virtually odorless, making them one of the most discreet consumption methods available.
Most tinctures on the market contain THC, CBD, or a combination of both. THC-dominant tinctures produce the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis. CBD-dominant tinctures offer potential wellness benefits without the high. Balanced ratios, such as one-to-one THC to CBD, provide milder psychoactive effects with the potential therapeutic benefits of both cannabinoids.
How to Choose Tinctures
Start by deciding what you want from the experience. If you want psychoactive effects, look for THC-dominant tinctures. If you want potential wellness benefits without feeling high, try a CBD-dominant option. One-to-one ratios offer a balanced, mellow experience that is great for beginners.
Check the milligrams per serving and the total milligrams per bottle. A bottle might contain 300 milligrams total with 10 milligrams per dropper. If you are new to tinctures, start with a product that offers low per-serving doses so you can find your sweet spot without overdoing it. Our budtenders can recommend the right formula and ratio for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use a cannabis tincture?
Place the desired dose under your tongue using the dropper and hold it there for thirty to sixty seconds before swallowing. This sublingual method allows cannabinoids to absorb through the tissues under your tongue for faster onset, typically fifteen to thirty minutes. You can also add tinctures to food or drinks, but onset will be slower, similar to edibles.
What is a good starting dose for tinctures?
Start with 2.5 milligrams of THC. Most tincture droppers are marked with measurements so you can dose precisely. Wait forty-five minutes to an hour before taking more. Tinctures make it easy to find your ideal dose because you can adjust in small increments.
How long do tincture effects last?
Sublingual tincture effects typically last two to four hours. If you swallow the tincture or add it to food, the effects behave more like edibles and can last four to eight hours. The duration depends on the dose, your metabolism, and your individual tolerance.
Do tinctures taste bad?
Cannabis tinctures have a natural, herbal flavor that some people find strong. Many brands add natural flavorings to improve the taste. You can also mix tinctures into juice, tea, or other beverages to mask the flavor. The taste dissipates quickly when taken sublingually.
