What Off-Hours is known for
- Tincture-first product line. The signature category is the tincture, not flower or vape
- Recovery and sleep positioning. Product naming and ratios oriented toward evening and post-exercise use
- CBN sleep formulations. Multiple products with added CBN (5-10 mg per dose typical)
- Ratio-product expertise. 1:1, 2:1, and CBD-dominant ratios offered, not just THC-only
- Sublingual onset. 15-45 minute onset with 4-6 hour duration
- Discreet format. No aroma, no smoke, no preparation; portable and pocket-friendly
- Adult-wellness aesthetic. Branding designed for adults who want cannabis without the cannabis-leaf-everywhere visual signal
The brand positions itself in the same conversation as wellness-tincture brands generally, with cannabis as the active ingredient.
Why tinctures are a different category
Cannabis tinctures behave differently from flower, vapes, and edibles in several ways:
Onset: sublingual (under the tongue) absorption is faster than edible (60-90 min) but slower than inhaled (60-180 sec). Sublingual is typically 15-45 minutes.
Duration: sublingual lasts 4-6 hours, similar to edibles but with faster onset. Inhaled lasts 1-3 hours.
Dose precision: tinctures offer the most precise dose control. A 30 mL bottle at 300 mg THC = 10 mg per mL = 1 mg per 0.1 mL drop. Adjustable to 0.1 mg increments.
No combustion: no smoke, no harsh inhale, no respiratory exposure.
Discreet: no aroma, no visible product use. The bottle looks like any wellness tincture.
Travel-friendly: small bottle, no preparation, no battery needed.
For customers who want cannabis benefits without smoking, vaping, or eating an edible, tinctures are the answer. See tinctures explained.
Off-Hours product lines at Sage Seeds
Sleep tinctures (CBN-added)
Format: 30 mL bottles at 300-450 mg THC + 100-150 mg CBN per bottle. Dose math: typically 5-10 mg THC + 5 mg CBN per 1 mL serving. Use: 30-60 minutes before bed. Onset: 15-45 min. Duration 4-6 hours.
Recovery tinctures (1:1 CBD:THC)
Format: 30 mL bottles at 300 mg CBD + 300 mg THC typical. Dose math: 10 mg of each per 1 mL serving. Use: post-workout, post-physical-day, mid-evening wind-down. Note: the 1:1 ratio reduces THC anxiety potential while preserving the recovery and pain-modulation effects.
Daytime balance tinctures (CBD-dominant)
Format: 30 mL bottles, often 3:1 or 5:1 CBD:THC. Dose math: higher CBD per dose, lower THC. Use: functional adult, daytime calm, anxiety-conscious.
THC-forward tinctures
Format: 30 mL bottles, THC-dominant. Dose math: standard 10 mg per 1 mL. Use: for customers who want the THC experience in tincture form rather than flower or edible.

How to dose Off-Hours tinctures
Sublingual dosing protocol:
- Shake the bottle well before each use (cannabinoids settle in oil)
- Drop the recommended serving under the tongue (use the dropper marker)
- Hold for 60-90 seconds before swallowing (sublingual absorption window)
- Wait 30-45 minutes before considering a redose (onset window)
- Track the experience to find your right dose
- Start with 2.5-5 mg if first time, 5-10 mg if experienced
- Time it for the use case (sleep tinctures 30-60 min before bed; recovery tinctures post-workout)
Why customers like Off-Hours
The pattern at our counter:
- The sleep-focused customer. Wants something that supports sleep without next-day grogginess. The CBN sleep tinctures are the counter recommendation.
- The recovery-focused customer. Athletes, manual-labor workers, post-workout adults. The 1:1 recovery tincture supports muscle recovery and pain modulation.
- The non-smoker. Wants cannabis benefits without smoke or vape. Tincture is the cleanest delivery method.
- The dose-precision customer. Wants exact dose control. Tinctures are the most precise format available.
- The wellness-aesthetic customer. Wants cannabis that fits into a wellness routine alongside other supplements, not the cannabis lifestyle full stop.
Why some customers prefer other brands
- The flower-first customer. Off-Hours has no flower line; flower-first customers go to MFNY, Botanist, or comparable brands.
- The fast-onset customer. Tinctures take 15-45 min. Vape or flower customers want 60-180 second onset.
- The social-recreational customer. Tinctures are not the brunch-with-friends format. Pre-rolls, vapes, or flower are.

Storage tips for Off-Hours tinctures
- Cool, dark place (the cabinet is fine, the fridge is unnecessary)
- Cap tightly after use (oil oxidation is slow but real)
- Use within 12 months of opening for peak potency
- Do not store in direct sunlight (UV degrades cannabinoids over time)
- Shake before each use (cannabinoids settle in MCT oil base)
