How to Dose Cannabis Tincture Under the Tongue

Start with 1 to 2.5 mg of THC. Place the drops under your tongue, hold for 60 to 90 seconds, then swallow. Wait at least 2 hours before taking more. Sublingual absorption bypasses the digestive system, so effects start in 15 to 45 minutes and peak around 1 to 2 hours.

Timing and Effects
