What Are Cannabis Infused Beverages?

Cannabis-infused beverages are drinks made with cannabinoids, which interact with chemicals and receptors in the brain. These drinks come in quite a few different forms, including syrups, sodas, and seltzers, but they all contain compounds derived from the cannabis plant.

These beverages are a growing trend, especially as it's becoming easier than ever to order cannabis products online and get them discreetly delivered to your door. Plus, since they're alcohol-free, they can be the life of the party without getting you overly intoxicated.

Why Should You Try THC Seltzers?

Indulging in THC seltzers can be an incredible experience, especially if want a fast-acting, long-lasting high.

The cannabinoids in these drinks produce their effects in just a few minutes, and the resulting buzz can last for hours. If you're chilling out with friends on the weekend, it's exactly the type of high that you'd want to make things even more fun.

In addition, it's easy to find THC-infused drinks that line up with your personal lifestyle and health goals. The seltzers and sodas in the Mood Shop are low-sugar and made with high-quality ingredients, so you can feel good about what you're drinking.

How To Choose the Right THC Drink for You

If you're a newcomer to cannabis, look for a beverage that contains a lower concentration of THC. That way, you'll be able to see how the psychoactive compounds in the drink make you feel without being overwhelmed. You can always switch to a more potent drink later once you have a feel for your personal cannabis tolerance.

In addition, we recommend picking out a THC seltzer crafted with other cannabinoids on top of Delta-9. The addition of CBD can make THC beverages more mellow, leading to a pleasant buzz that won't overwhelm you.

Of course, flavor is a big deal, too. You don't want to drop money on THC drinks that don't taste good. Look for flavor options that appeal to you, and if you can't decide, try grabbing a seltzer and soda variety pack and testing out each flavor to see which one you like best.

FAQs About Cannabis Seltzers

Q: Will cannabis drinks make me fail a drug test?

A: Cannabis beverages contain cannabinoids like THC, which are rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream via your digestive system. These compounds can show up on a drug test for up to 90 days after you ingest them. For that reason, it's best to avoid any hemp-derived ingredients if you have a drug test coming up for work or school.

Q: What do cannabis drinks taste like?

A: Cannabis seltzers, sodas, and other drinks have added flavors inspired by beverages that you already know and love. They don't taste like weed, and the hemp-derived compounds in them don't alter their flavor.

However, if you try a THC drink and it has a strange, grassy taste, it's probably a lower-quality option. Stay away from these and opt for something made with more care.

Q: Are cannabis beverages legal?

A: Thanks to the Farm Bill, THC drinks are legal in many parts of the US, and you can get them shipped right to your door.

The Farm Bill distinguishes marijuana from hemp; hemp contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight and is federally legal. Anything over this threshold is marijuana. If a THC-infused drink meets the Farm Bill's criteria for hemp, it's legal.

Before ordering, make sure you're familiar with state laws, which can vary. Always order from a trustworthy source that complies with the Farm Bill and other regulations.
