Sublingual Delivery

🩺 Medicine First mentioned: Ep. 068

A method of cannabis administration where drops of tincture or oil are placed under the tongue, allowing cannabinoids to absorb directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes, bypassing first-pass liver metabolism.

Discussed in context of Haley Rose's medication. Sublingual drops were considered as an alternative to capsules since they bypass hepatic oxidation and deliver cannabinoids to the brain more directly. Cheryl Rose noted this would be easier for compliance than taking 8-10 capsules per dose.
