Re: Can you tincture cannabis??
Yes, you can tincture cannabis. And yes, a tincture is "safer" than smoking it, because you're not scorching the lungs and covering them with tar.
When using cannabis orally, the "high" is longer lasting, but slower to be felt. So if they do this, tell them to be very cautious initially so they don't end up in a OD type scenario.
Less addictive? Nope, but it might serve as a way to slowly withdraw without experiencing the side-effects of a typical "cold turkey" withdrawal.
When counseling/assisting people with this, educating them is a MAJOR PART of the process. With any mind/body altering substance, the key to success is knowing and understanding the truth about the substance - and especially understanding that a successful withdrawal process includes much more than simply avoiding the substance.
