What Are THC Drops? A Look at Tinctures
The term ‘THC drops’ commonly refers to THC oil or THC tinctures—a legal, hemp-derived liquid extract. This guide explains what these drops are, how to use them, and their role in a daily wellness routine*. THC drops are a liquid concentrate of full-spectrum hemp extract, rich in cannabinoids and terpenes, designed for oral consumption. This format allows for highly flexible and customizable serving sizes.
How to Use THC Drops for Flexible Dosing?
Sublingual Administration for Best Results
For optimal absorption and faster effects, THC drops are best administered sublingually, meaning under the tongue. To use, place the desired number of drops under your tongue and hold the oil there for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing.
This method allows the cannabinoids to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes, bypassing the digestive system and liver, which can lead to more efficient and quicker results compared to other consumption methods.*
Customizing Your Serving Size
One of the primary advantages of THC oil in a dropper bottle is the ability to precisely control your serving size. The dropper allows you to measure out an exact amount of oil, whether you prefer a microdose or a larger intake.
This precision empowers you to fine-tune your experience and find the optimal serving that aligns with your individual needs and desired effects. Starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it allows your body to adjust and helps you discover what works best for you.
The Source of Quality: What’s in NuLeaf Naturals’ THC Oil?
Building trust begins with transparency about product composition and legal standing. NuLeaf Naturals is committed to providing high-quality, pure, and compliant hemp-derived products.
Legal, Hemp-Derived Delta-9 THC
NuLeaf Naturals’ THC oil is derived exclusively from federally legal hemp plants grown in the USA. This ensures compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill, which stipulates that hemp-derived products must contain 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis.
Our adherence to these regulations guarantees that our products are legal at the federal level, providing peace of mind to our customers.
A Full Spectrum, Whole-Plant Formula
Our THC oil is a full-spectrum extract, meaning it contains a comprehensive range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial phytonutrients naturally found in the hemp plant. This diverse array of compounds works together to produce what is known as the “entourage effect”.
The entourage effect suggests that these plant compounds synergize, providing more comprehensive and balanced benefits than THC alone or isolated cannabinoids. Our advanced CO2 extraction methods ensure that this full profile of beneficial compounds is preserved without the use of harsh chemical solvents.
Wellness Applications of THC Drops*
By providing a flexible serving of full-spectrum hemp extract, our THC drops work with the body’s endocannabinoid system to support balance and well-being. They are formulated to help:
- Support muscle recovery after exercise*
- Support rest and regular sleep*
- Promote calm*
This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The Endocannabinoid System and THC Drops
The body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex system that helps the body maintain balance. Our full-spectrum THC drops are formulated to work with your body’s natural systems to promote overall wellness*.
Understanding the “Entourage Effect” in Full-Spectrum THC Oil
NuLeaf Naturals’ full-spectrum THC oil is distinguished by its inclusion of not just THC, but also a wide array of other cannabinoids and terpenes naturally present in the hemp plant. This comprehensive blend is crucial due to a phenomenon known as the “entourage effect”.
This theory posits that these diverse compounds work synergistically, potentially providing a more balanced experience compared to products that contain only isolated cannabinoids.
Comprehensive Safety Information for THC Oil Use

THC Oil: Frequently Asked Questions
How is THC oil made?
THC oil is typically made by extracting cannabinoids, including THC, from the hemp plant using methods like CO2 extraction. This process yields a concentrated liquid that retains the plant’s natural compounds.
How is THC oil used?
THC oil is most commonly used sublingually, where drops are placed under the tongue for absorption. It can also be added to foods or beverages, though effects may be slower due to digestion.
Is THC oil the same as vape oil?
No, THC oil (tincture) and vape oil are distinct products. THC oil is designed for oral or sublingual consumption, while vape oil is formulated specifically for inhalation using a vaporizer.
Is THC oil the same as THC concentrate?
THC oil, particularly full-spectrum oil, is a type of concentrate, but the term “THC concentrate” can refer to a broader range of highly potent forms, such as waxes or shatters. THC oil offers a specific, liquid form of concentrated cannabinoids.
What is the difference between THC oil and CBD oil?
The primary difference lies in their cannabinoid profiles. While both are derived from hemp, THC oil contains a notable, legal concentration of Delta-9 THC, whereas CBD oil primarily contains CBD and non-intoxicating levels of THC.
Is THC oil legal?
Federally, hemp-derived THC oil containing 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight is legal in the United States due to the 2018 Farm Bill. However, state laws vary, and it is crucial to check local regulations.
How long do the effects of THC oil last?
The effects of THC oil can vary based on individual metabolism, dosage, and method of consumption. Sublingual use generally leads to effects within 15-45 minutes, lasting for several hours.
Can THC oil show up on a drug test?
