📋 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a tincture?

A tincture is an herbal infusion that you can take sublingually (beneath your tongue) for desired results.

You will typically see results in 5-20 minutes, which is much faster than a typical edible. This allows you to dose more properly - as you can more quickly know if you need to take more.

What's the best way to use Green Dragon Cannabis Tincture?

• You can use it as a sublingual - hold desired amount under your tongue for at least 60 seconds.
• You can add it to edibles recipes to add extra potentcy or to make anything you eat an edible.
• You can stir it into cold drinks.

What are the cons to using Green Dragon Tincture?

The main con for this tincture is taste. It will have a very strong alcohol taste as well as a chlorophyll, plant taste. If you're looking for a tincture that is milder in taste as well as potency, you may want to try the Golden Dragon QWET tincture instead.
