So most know that the medical marijuana companies have multiple versions of CBD concentrates that can accommodate every consumer’s need to get their right dosage. Most dispensaries provide mainly oil concentrates, tinctures, and flower.  Some of these products accommodate people who are trying these products out for the first time and for people who microdose these products just to hold them over during the day if they experience pain throughout their day. And lastly, for these products consumers have optional ways of taking their dose of concentrate. 

According to  Health Europa, CBD oil ingredients mainly contain coconut oil, vegetable glycerin, and hemp seed oil as the base which dilutes some of the harsh concentration of the CBD thus making the dose or mg of CBD lower than the actual dose. Most CBD oils can be used as a topical, can be taken orally, and can be used to cook with. CBD oils can also contain some low levels of Thc as well thus giving the consumer a body high with a low balanced psychoactive high in case the consumer prefers it. Some CBD oils can also be homemade if the consumer wants to experiment on their own with the CBD and THC levels.

As defined by Health Europa, Tinctures have CBD suspended in the actual extract that has been derived from the hemp plant itself. But tinctures have 60-70% of alcohol as the main ingredient thus giving this product a longer shelf life. Tinctures are also a stronger version of an extract that has to be taken orally since it is more of a liquid. Surprisingly tinctures are also infused with essential oils or extracts such as peppermint, cinnamon, alcohol, and glycerine. Tinctures can also be cooked if paired with water-soluble CBD since tinctures are considered as a preservative for CBD. There are also other ingredients that can be used with tinctures such as essential vitamins (B12, vitamin C/D), water, melatonin, etc. 

Lastly as defined by  Weed Maps, Cannabis flower is mainly defined as the female part of the cannabis plant that is usually the versatile smokable part of the plant. Cannabis flowers can be smoked multiple ways to the consumers comfortability through pipes, bongs, or as rolled joints. Cannabis flower has to be ground in order to use it for multiple things in order to expand your supply of the flower. When you first see cannabis flowers it will look like nuggets or as buds clustered together before you crush the flower. And furthermore, Cannabis flowers can be used as the main ingredient for the products listed above because the sole purpose of cannabis flowers is to absorb as much nutrients and power the plant has to offer.
