For those who prefer to get their cannabis in a drink, there is no shortage of options on the market. In fact, thc infused drinks are on the rise in many parts of the country where legalization has been approved.
Typically, the ingredients for a infused beverage are mixed with water and then solubilized using a process similar to creating a tincture or decoction. The result is a beverage that often tastes much like any other seltzer or soft drink on the shelf — except for the added cannabinoids.
Infused beverages can range in flavor and can include sugar, honey, coconut oil, agave and more. The added benefits of these drinks are their ability to help boost energy, provide a more focused and calming effect and even soothe symptoms of certain medical conditions.
A THC drink is also less potent than smoking or vaping and allows for a more gradual high. In some cases, the effects of a THC drink may not kick in until an hour after consumption, giving users more control over their experience. Lastly, drinking has been shown to be healthier for the body long-term than smoking or vaping.
When it comes to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), it is recommended that newbies start with a low dose of 5mg or less and increase dosage gradually. Most infused beverages will come with pre-measured amounts of THC, making it easier to find the right amount for each individual.
Depending on the type of infused beverage, users can expect a full range of effects from a light buzz to a euphoric state. Typically, beverages will contain a mix of THC and CBD to provide a balanced and relaxing effect. THC-infused sodas and spritzers can be found in flavors such as passion fruit mango, ginger pear, raspberry hibiscus and more.
While the thc infused drink is still relatively new, it has the potential to introduce more people to cannabis in a socially acceptable format. While it may not replace alcohol in all occasions, a THC drink can be a fun alternative for anyone looking to enjoy a night on the town without the usual side effects.
