Will a Tincture Work if Most Regular Edibles Don't?

So I have no idea but every edible I've ever tried has absolutely failed to get me any kind of real high no matter the dosage.

I've tried cookies, brownies, firecrackers, beverages and all other sorts. Most of which came from actual retail dispensaries so were trustable and worked for plenty of other people.

I have heard however that tinctures are different, since the weed is bound to alcohol instead of fat and absorbs differently.

So would it work or would I just be wasting 35-40 bucks on something around 100MG's worth of THC?

I would just smoke but... Asthma. No fun.
