📋 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I use Cannabis-Infused MCT Oil in Edibles?

Because MCT Oil has a low smoke point, it may not be best for cooking. To use MCT Oil in edibles, think single serving. You could add a dose to your cup of coffee or cold drink. You could stir it into your morning oatmeal, add some to your smoothie or include a dose with your salad dressing. Because it's tasteless and odorless, it can be a great option to add to your already prepared food.

A lot of people, however, choose to use Cannabis MCT Oil sublingually.

How do I use Cannabis MCT Oil Sublingually?

To use this as a sublingual, simply hold it under your tongue or in your cheek for at least 60-90 seconds. This will bypass your digestive system and have you feeling results in 15-30 minutes.

If I can use this sublingually, does that mean it's a tincture?

A tincture means it is made of grain alcohol, so this is not technically a tincture. But you're right that tinctures are typically taken sublingually.
