About Hope Pharmacy

Hope Pharmacy - In 2008, legislation was passed allowing physicians to recommend (prescribe) medical marijuana to certain conditions. In 2015, additional conditions were added during the legislative sessions. Prior to August 1, 2020, patients with the following debilitating conditions were able to receive a recommendation for medical cannabis. The acceptable forms of medical marijuana in Louisiana, approved by the legislature, are oils, extracts, tinctures, sprays, capsules, pills, solutions, suspension, gelatin-based chewables, lotions, transdermal patches, suppositories, and metered-dosed inhalation. Available today are cannabis tinctures, which is the concentrated extract applied under the tongue via dropper, and a topical cream that can be applied to the skin.

What are Medical Cannabis Tinctures?

Medical cannabis tinctures are packaged in a 30 mL glass bottle with a dropper. Tincture dosages are easy to self-titrate and measure. Tinctures are easily absorbed by the liver, so the effects are felt more quickly than in pill or gelatin based chewable form. Because of this, tinctures represent an effective method of consumption for precise dosing.
