What’s in my bottle?

Each bottle of ApothecArt Pure Cannabis Extract has a unique QR identifier that connects patients to laboratory results and information specific to that batch.  We think people make better choices when they know more about the medicine they put into their bodies.

Consistent Medicine. 

Having to constantly adjust the dosage of your medication every time you use it is a major hassle.  While many factors can affect the potency of a cannabis product (ex., strains, materials, process, etc.), our aim is to provide OMMP patients with medicine that is potent and consistent- dropper to dropper, bottle to bottle, batch to batch.

We have new test results!

Apothec+Art Tinctures

We outperformed Colorado’s leading brand of cannabis tincture!

Drumroll, please…

The results are in for testing on the latest batch of ApothecArt Pure Cannabis Extract!  These numbers may look low to those of you who are used to dealing only with flowers, but in the world of tinctures, we’re stoked!

For comparison’s sake, Colorado’s leading brand of cannabis tincture (it shall remain unnamed, but you can look it up if you want) comes in at .31 percent THC, with no detectable levels at all of CBD and CBN.

Not pictured in the chart here but also present in ApothecArt results: .02 percent of CBG (Cannabigerol).  As for our breakdown of THC (Delta-9 and Delta-8), we came in at .34 percent and .01 percent, respectively.

Here’s a brief refresher on the properties of THC, CBD, CBG and CBN (based on information provided by Green Leaf Labs):

  • Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC): This is the most common form of THC found in cannabis and the most commonly researched.  Delta-9 cannabinoid is known for is euphoric affect, as well as a pain inhibitor.
  • Delta-8 Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC): Similar to Delta 9-THC and also known for its euphoric affect and analgesic properties. Some think it has a lessor affect since it is found in smaller quantities than Delta 9 THC.
  • CBG (or Cannabigerol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that’s thought to be the “stem cell” of the plant.  Special enzymes in cannabis convert CBG into other cannabinoids.  As a medicine, CBG is is known for it’s antibiotic, analgesic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory affects.
  • CBD (or Cannabidiol) is primarily a non-psychoactive compound, known for it’s antioxidant, antispasmomdic, analgesic, antipsychotic and anti-inflammitory properties.   Research has also shown that it may inhibit the expansion of some cancer cells.
  • CBN (or Cannabinol) is the product of THC oxidation and occurs when the cannabis flower is exposed to oxygen. It can interact synergistically with THC and sometimes can accentuate the “couch lock” feeling some people experience.  CBN is known for its sedative, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant properties.
