They’re sticky. Messy. Uncomfortable. That flavored one they promised would taste like strawberry, burns. Baby oil may seem safe, but you’re just asking for an itchy situation. Lubricants are hard to come by and everyone is different in terms of preference and sensitivity. Harsh perfumes and chemicals we can’t pronounce but prevalent in today’s most popular over the counter brands, are simply no good for our delicate pearls.

ASHIDO’s guide on how to roll weed.

Cannabis Tincture: Smokeless Way to Get Relief You Need
There have always been several ways to consume cannabis: rolling papers, vaping, and edibles. The newest way to consume that you may not be familiar with is tinctures. Cannabis tinctures are for people who want to receive the benefits of cannabis, but prefer not to in the traditional sense. For a number reasons, smoking might not be the best option for people and edibles could be difficult to dose as a first timer. If you want to have more control over the administration and effects, tinctures are a perfect way to supplement your endocannabinoid system.
What is a tincture?
A cannabis tincture, whether alcohol-based or oil based, can be used for easy consumption. You can add tinctures to your daily routine through adding it into your food, juices, soups, and salad dressings. Before cannabis was added on the United States of America Schedule 1 drug list in 1937, most cannabis was taken medicinally by tincture. It is one of the oldest forms of usage that is re-emerging due to the legalization of medical-use cannabis across the country. With tinctures, dosage guides provide comfort for those beginning to understand their tolerance.
Dosage
When you purchase cannabis flower from legal markets, they typically have the percentage of THC or CBD labeled on the packaging. This is a concept that does not particularly exist when you’re buying your flower from unlicensed dispensaries. Therefore, most consumers remain uneducated about the dosage of cannabinoids (the good stuff) they’re ingesting. On the other hand, tinctures are on the opposite end of that spectrum. You know exactly the amount of cannabinoids per milligram and recommended dosage instructions.
Throughout each step of farm to customer, i.e. the cultivator, processor, and testing labs, knowing the number of milligrams per bottle allows you to decide how much or how little you want to ingest. You control your experience a lot more than any other type of consumption. Many people start with a low dosage and work their way up to a level that best suits their needs.
How to Use
Now that you have your tincture en route, refer to the packaging instructions for how to use. Taking it orally allows the cannabinoids (i.e. CBD, CBN) to rapidly absorb into the blood stream. Here at ASHIDO we enjoy adding 2mL drops in smoothies. Although absorption can be slowed down when mixed with food or drinks, it is a great and simplistic way to incorporate cannabis into our current routine.
Whichever way you wish to consume is your prerogative. The goal is to be knowledgeable about what works best for your body and current needs.
ASHIDO Spotlight Product recommendation:
The next time you are looking to try a new product, I recommend the Reset CBD drops that are hemp-derived and pure CBD isolate. It’s great in the mornings, before or after you work out, anytime you need pain relief and/or before you go to bed. I found just about any way possible to incorporate these drops into my health regimen.

It’s Just A Name: The High Lies Within
Some of the names of hemp and marijuana strains on the market today range from classic to designer, depending on the origin of the seed’s genetics — Super Lemon Haze (Sativa), Forbidden Fruit (Indica), Gorilla Glue (Hybrid), and Do-si-do (Hybrid) are personal faves of ours.
The question is: how many people really know what they are smoking, or where their cannabis oil has been extracted from, or even what strain is in their edibles? At one point in time when the legacy market was at its height and various strains were being created and made available to the general public, the answer to that question was not many. The people who did know were typically aficionados getting most of their information from High Times Magazine or cultivator of the plant, aka their plug.
However, over the last several years as more and more states are bringing aboard medical marijuana programs and legalizing adult-use, people want more information about what they are consuming. Well, today is the perfect time as information around what the various stains do has become more available than ever.
To keep it simple, the best sativa strains give you energy, help you focus and can make everything funny or make you very talkative. The effects are different per strain and individual, but the desired effect usually remains constant across strains. Some of the most consumed strains in cannabis are sativa.
The sativa strains also carry some of the most unique and recognizable names such as Sour Diesel, Blue Dream, Maui Wowie, and Jack Herer.
The Indica strains are best for chilling out, helping you relax or sleep. They can also give you a tingly sensation or a little arousal feeling; maybe even a sense of euphoria. This can totally help bring your anxiety down and it may completely eradicate your insomnia.
The unique list of names continues in the Indica strain. Also some very recognizable: Northern Lights and Afghan Kush. Similarly, the Hybrid has some classic strains in this category: Blue Dream, Pineapple Express, Gelato, OG Kush, and Girl Scout Cookies. Hybrids are always fun. They have a different effect depending on the ratio of indica:sativa blend. We prefer Hybrids because it’s like customizing your “high”. Pro-tip: Ask your local dispensary whether they have indica dominant or sativa dominant hybrids.
Sometimes when reading all of the names of the various strains you forget you are talking about a plant with specific characteristics and properties. And I tell people, don’t get caught up in the name. Just know what characteristics you are looking for and effects you are trying to achieve. Are you needing to eat because you suffer from nausea? Do you need to be creative or finish a project? Are you brainstorming or do you have bothersome pain that interferes with your quality of life? Do you need energy throughout the day or help focusing on minute tasks? These are the most important things to know. Industry publications, academic journals, dispensaries, and cannabis enthusiasts who are knowledgeable can help you find the best strain for you.
People are generally becoming more aware about what they are consuming and that is a great thing! Remember, cannabis is one of the most well-rounded plants nature has provided for us. It can assist the human body where necessary — search: endocannabinoid system.
As you move through the world of cannabis the best thing you can do is inform yourself and ask questions. Know what works best for you and you can enjoy the plant as it was designed to be.
