Tincture vs Powder and questions about making own tincture

I am very new to Kratom so please bear with me. I have been looking at http://zerbals.com/kratom/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=89 this full spectrum tincture. It is a 2ml bottle in which they claim equals 200mg Maeng Da Kratom leaf. It costs $38.50 Now, They have this http://zerbals.com/kratom/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=114 which is Maeng Da 80 full spectrum powder, 1G for $9.00.

So, what makes the tincture any better than just the powder? The convenience? Is it stronger? I would assume that 200mg of the powder would be the same as the tincture. Correct?

Also, If I were to make my own tincture using the powder mentioned above could I follow the how-to on ehow using 200mg like the tincture being sold on that site? Or because the powder is 80x should I use less and about how much?

*EDIT* Crap I forgot to add in the title that I was talking about Kratom. /facepalm

 

Anyone? I don't want to make a tincture using the x80 powder and end up oding or something. If there another forum that may be more suitable?

It's meant to say 200 grams not milligrams up there.

 

I will say i like any form of herbal buzz in powder. Tincture is nice, but powder can be dabbed into a J, a cigarette (American spirits are great for spliffs!), a bowl or just put into a drink. Tinctures usually have a herbal alcohol taste, kinda unpleasant imo.

Its really up to you- I use Valerian tinctures with kava kava tea packets when I just flat out cant sleep. Or, lettuce opium tinctures (Dried in a pan) and balled up before it fully dries. Tinctures are okay, but powder has way more options.

 

I just said fuck it and order a sample pack from a different place.

 

I drank two bottles of the purple sticky salvia extract and it did nothing.

I smoked 3 hits of 30x leaves and was tripping like crazy...take it for what it's worth.

 

Claythrow, you don't drink salvia tins... You hold them under your tounge, or it wont work.
