Origins
This strain is cultivated by Tilray, from high-CBD strains of cannabis.
Composition
Each of Tilray’s 5:20 CBD bottles contains approximately 5.3mg of THC and 21.3mg of CBD per 1ml. Tilray aims to include 200mg of THC and 800mg of CBD per container, but patients should be aware that levels can vary from batch to batch. Tilray uses coconut oil as the carrier oil. This is a popular choice among medical cannabis producers due to the inclusion of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). MCT oil is easily absorbed, resulting in faster absorption and higher bioavailability.
Storage
Storing your cannabis product correctly will prolong its life. Keep it in a cool, dry place and away from sunlight. It’s essential to keep this product (and any cannabinoid product) out of the reach of children and animals.
Dosing guidelines
The guidance provided here is not intended to be medical advice – patients will discuss their dosage guidelines with a medical professional independently before beginning their treatment.
Tilray’s CBD oils can be consumed sublingually (drops under the tongue), or the oil can be added to food and drinks if patients oppose the taste. It is important to mention that if the oil is administered orally rather than sublingually, the patient can expect a lower bioavailability. Research suggests that sublingual consumption is between 25-40% bioavailable, whereas oral consumption is between 10-20% bioavailable.
When first using Tilray’s 5:20 CBD oil, the patient should take a small dose and wait for 90 minutes for the product to take effect, but the patient must consider that it could take longer for peak effects. The duration of action is expected to be between 8-12 hours for a first-time user. Scientific research suggests that oral consumption is long-lasting, predictable and slow-acting.
In accordance with Tilray’s dosage guidelines, oral ingestion is expected to reach the onset time within 1-2 hours, and the duration of action will last between 6-10 hours. In comparison to the inhalation method, the onset time will take 5-10 minutes, and the duration of action will be between 2-4 hours.
Lab reports
All Tilray products undergo full-proof toxicology testing to ensure that the extracts are void of any metals, chemicals or other harmful ingredients. Because of this immense attention to detail, Tilray extracts and flowers are considered to be some of the safest and most effective products on the market.
Tilray makes sure that each batch of extract or flower undergo extensive in-house testing to certify that each product that meets the end-consumer is of the highest quality. To provide legitimacy to its in-house testing, Tilray also employs third-party lab testing across every batch. This ensures the customer can trust and rely upon the safety and legitimacy of Tilray medical cannabis products.
