About Humboldt Apothecary
Nestled in Humboldt County’s redwoods, this female owned-and-operated company has over 25 years of combined herbalist experience that’s reflected in their distinct, award-winning tinctures. They’re not only made with trusted ingredients and organic, sungrown cannabis, but also with specific uses in mind.
How Humboldt Apothecary Tinctures Are Made
The ladies of Humboldt Apothecary implement the latest research and newest technological innovations to blend perfectly potent and balanced recipes that heal MMJ patients and recreational consumers alike.
They only use the highest quality ingredients, carefully selecting and blending the best sun grown cannabis and organic medicinal herbs to synergistically increase their tinctures’ effectiveness. The CO2 extraction method keeps them pure while retaining the plant’s flavor, terpenes, and cannabinoids.
All their cannabis elixirs use sustainable and environmentally safe practices, so don’t worry about inconsistent dosing or harmful ingredients.
Tinctures
Humboldt Apothecary creates ten different tinctures each tailored to treat specific conditions by combining various ingredients and cannabinoid ratios.
They’re a low calorie, low sugar, and gluten-free way to conveniently dose all day long; as well as free from artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. Plus, each bottle is small and sturdy enough to put in your purse or backpack.
Begin with five drops to a half dropper full (as suggested) under the tongue or, if it tastes too strong, add to water, juice, tea or smoothies! Experiment with your own recipes or start with Humboldt’s. Remember, it’ll take one to two hours to feel the tincture’s full effects.
Deep Sleep
Deep Sleep treats exactly what you think it would. Recommended to use against sleeplessness and to support deep and enduring sleep in a non-addictive, gentle way. The ingredients are super simple: organic alcohol, organic honey, filtered water, cannabis extract, passion flower, hops, skullcap, and lavender. One fluid ounce bottle has 250mg THC (about 25 average doses) and sells for around $40 each.
Canna Bitters
This is such a unique product! A riff off of traditional cocktail bitters, you can use this tincture by itself or add a dose to a mocktail. Canna Bitters promote appetite stimulation, digestion, and relieve nausea. Like always, Humboldt Apothecary keeps those ingredients nice and simple, using organic alcohol, honey, filtered water, cannabis, angelica, gentian, cardamom, and orange peel. You can purchase a fluid ounce bottle with 250mg THC for about $40.
Breathe
Having respiratory issues like coughing, seasonal allergies or head congestion? This product’s for you. Breathe will help your lungs and chest, easing your airways and saving the day. With spring just around the corner and these drastic California weather changes, it’s great to keep in your medicine cabinet. Breathe is made with organic alcohol, organic honey, filtered water, cannabis extract, elecampane, mullein, yerba santa, devil’s club, and peppermint essential oil. A 250mg THC bottle averages $50.
Love Potion No. 7
This versatile cannabis liquid will put you in the mood, acting as both a tincture and a personal lubricant! A product that’ll make you feel better inside and out is a serious bonus. But just don’t take our word; it won 4th place in the tincture category at the 2016 Emerald Cup. Love Potion No.7 is made with a delicious blend of warming herbs and spices, plus 250mg THC. It’s full of coconut MCT oil, cannabis extract, damiana, cinnamon, kava kava, cardamom, cocao nibs, vanilla bean, vitamin E, and stevia. You can purchase one fluid ounce bottle at $40.
Sweet Jane
These Sweet Jane tinctures are available in six different blends, each perfectly tailored to address specific needs and preferences. Pick your ideal ratio: THC and CBD’s 1:1, 4:1, 8:1, 16:1, and 20:1. No matter the proportion, you get 150mg of cannabinoids in each bottle. Experiment with higher and lower CBD blends to see which is most effective for you. Sweet Jane is made with coconut MCT oil, cannabis extract, cinnamon essential oil, vitamin E, and stevia. Pricing varies for each option as they range from $25 to $50 (higher CBD ratios typically cost more).
