Now available at PCC: an alternative to traditional edibles, alcohol-free Revivid CBD tinctures. Revivid CBD offers three versions of their tincture, each providing different potency ratios of CBD to THC:
15 CBD : 1 THC
5 CBD : 1 THC
1.5 CBD : 1 THC
The 5:1 version and the 1.5:1 also contain CBG, another cannabinoid like CBD and THC with slightly different properties.
These tinctures are made with glycerine and coconut oil making them a good delivery method for those wishing to avoid alcohol. They have a strong medicinal flavor but I find it and the accompanying tingling sensation pleasant. It is best to take this sublingually, holding the dose under your tongue for as long as possible. If the taste is too unpleasant a small amount of honey, maple syrup or agave could be mixed in. I found the dosage to be a bit too much in my mouth at once so I split the dosage in half. Meaning I take half of a dose, and immediately after I take the other half. This medicine should be taken on an empty stomach and it is best not to drink anything for a while afterwards so the medicine can continue to absorb. Each time I felt the effects within a half an hour, and it lasted about 4 to 6 hours. Other patients have reported feeling the effects even more quickly.
15:1
When I used this medicine I felt physically relaxed, calm yet alert, and had a most excellent feeling of well being. I did not notice any of the characteristic THC psychoactivity, but I was calmer than usual. I felt content, comfortable in my body, and I experienced some pain relief. This would be a good option for those who need to medicate and don’t want to feel “high,” those with anxiety, and anyone who needs to medicate frequently. People with insomnia, headaches, migraines, digestion issues, upset stomach and nervousness may also want to give this one a try.
5:1
This version is very similar to the 15:1 but with an accompanied body high. The feeling was similar to a light edible but without the tiredness or lethargy I get from some edibles. I would venture to say I felt refreshed when it kicked in, and I had more energy than usual.
1.5:1
As a regular user of cannabis this one is my favorite. I love the combination of physical relaxation and contentedness it delivers. A great choice for those who want a mood lift while remaining awake and relatively clear headed. This medicine delivers a great sensation; for me it was relaxing while invigorating. The overall effect is quite different from the other two in that the THC can be felt here. That being said, it is a very different feeling than one gets from smoking or eating cannabis. I felt very present, not distracted or spacey. This version would be perfect for those who like the feeling THC provides but don’t want to or cannot smoke, and also for those who don’t like or cannot eat edibles.
