How to Make THCV Tinctures with THC Free Hemp Extracts and Hemp Seed Oil
Introduction
THCv, or tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a rare cannabinoid known for its potential appetite-suppressing and stimulating effects. By making a THC-free THCv oil tincture, you can enjoy the unique properties of this cannabinoid without any psychoactive effects. This guide explains how to make your own THCv tincture using hemp seed oil as the carrier, providing a natural way to explore THCv’s potential benefits.
What You’ll Need
- THCv Isolate: 3 grams of THC-free THCv isolate
- Hemp Seed Oil: 30 ml of organic hemp seed oil
- Tools: Digital scale, 1 oz dropper bottle, small funnel, and a mixing bowl
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Measure the THCv Isolate
To create a 10% concentration tincture, measure 3 grams of THCv isolate. This ensures a potency of 100 mg/ml in your final tincture, ideal for those seeking a consistent, high-quality THCv dose.
Step 2: Pre-Warm the Hemp Seed Oil
Since THCv is sensitive to direct heat, gently warm the hemp seed oil in a small bowl over warm water (not boiling) for about 5 minutes. This makes it easier for the THCv to dissolve without compromising its properties.
Step 3: Dissolve the THCv Isolate
Add a small amount of the warmed hemp seed oil to the THCv isolate, using around 10-20% of the total oil. Stir until the isolate is fully dissolved. This step helps achieve a smooth mixture before adding the remaining oil.
Step 4: Combine and Mix
Once the THCv is dissolved, gradually add the remaining hemp seed oil, stirring continuously. This ensures an even blend and a consistent tincture. Alternatively, you can transfer the entire mixture to your dropper bottle and shake it to combine thoroughly.
Step 5: Transfer to Dropper Bottle and Store
Using a small funnel, carefully pour the mixture into a 1 oz dropper bottle. Label the bottle with the concentration and date, and store it in a cool, dark place to preserve its quality.
Calculating Potency
This recipe provides a 10% THCv tincture, offering 100 mg of THCv per ml. Here’s the calculation:
Total THCv: 3000 mg Bottle Size: 30 ml THCv per ml: 3000 mg / 30 ml = 100 mg/ml
This high-potency tincture allows you to accurately control your intake of THCv.
Benefits of Using Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil is packed with essential fatty acids that promote general wellness. Its mild flavor complements THCv, making it a great carrier oil for sublingual use.
Storage Tips
To retain potency, store your THCv tincture in a cool, dark place away from sunlight. Proper storage ensures the THCv maintains its beneficial properties over time.
