A standard 30ml tincture ($60) contains about 30 doses at 1ml each. At one dose daily, that's a month supply. Most tinctures range 300-1000mg total THC, so dosing varies: a 500mg bottle at 10mg/dose lasts 50 days; at 25mg/dose, 20 days. Tinctures are among the most cost-effective products per mg when used sublingually (under tongue) for maximum absorption.

Yes, tinctures typically offer 20-40% better value per mg. A 500mg tincture costs $54-$60, while 500mg of edibles (5 x 100mg packs) costs $200-$300. Tinctures also act faster (15-30 min sublingual vs 60-90 min for edibles), allow precise dosing, and have a 1-2 year shelf life. Edibles are better for discretion and predictable timing but cost more.

MCT (coconut) oil tinctures ($40-$60) have a mild taste, longer shelf life, and are better for adding to food/drinks. Alcohol-based tinctures ($48-$66) absorb faster sublingually (alcohol opens blood vessels) but taste harsher and aren't ideal for cooking. Both work well—choose MCT for versatility and taste, alcohol for fastest onset. Check labels for carrier oil type before purchasing.

Check for: 1) Lab test results (THC%, terpenes, no contaminants), 2) Proper packaging with batch numbers and expiration dates, 3) Manufacturing/harvest date (fresher is generally better), 4) Brand reputation and reviews. Ask budtenders for recommendations. Higher price doesn't always mean better quality—lab results tell the real story.
