What Are Cannabis Beverages?

Cannabis beverages are tasty drinks made with cannabis extracts that produce powerful psychoactive effects.

These seltzers, sodas, teas, and more are easy to enjoy and come in flavors inspired by drinks that you already know and love. Plus, there are plenty of options that are low in sugar and calories, so you can sip without messing with your health and fitness goals.

A THC drinkable gets its potency from cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC. These are natural compounds that form within the cannabis plant, and they’re the substances that get you high when you smoke or ingest weed. Some THC drinks contain only a low dose of cannabinoids, while others have higher potency.

If you’re new to cannabis, we recommend that you start low and go slow with any product you try. After all, there’s no rush! You can pick up medium-potency THC drinks from the Mood Shop — a premium online dispensary — and upgrade to higher potency whenever you want.

How Does a THC Drink Make You Feel?

A THC drink has powerful psychoactive effects that produce an indescribable buzz. It’s an uplifting, invigorating feeling that’s also calming and grounding.

If you’re sipping a THC-infused beverage with friends, you might find that you feel even more confident and loose than you normally do. In addition, THC can alter your perception, making you more aware of your surroundings and the feelings and sensations within your body.

Everyone has a unique response to the psychoactive properties of the cannabis plant, and the effects can vary based on the THC dosage that you take in. The THC drinks in the Mood Shop come with both higher doses (5mg) and lower doses (10mg) of THC, so it’s easy to find the right amount for you.

How Long Do THC Drinks Get You High?

The effects of a THC drink can depend on factors like your body weight, personal cannabis tolerance, and the amount of psychoactive cannabinoids in the beverage.

Cannabis consumption affects everyone differently, but you can generally expect the high from a THC drink to last between four and eight hours

If you’ve tried cannabis edibles before, you know that they can produce a powerful and long-lasting high. The effects of edibles are very similar to the high produced by cannabis drinks — relatively fast-acting and very long-lasting.

In contrast, smoking cannabis typically produces a rapid-onset high that doesn’t last as long. This means that enjoying a THC-infused drink is one of the best ways to experience the effects of cannabis for as long as possible.

What About CBD Drinks?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid with calming, grounding effects. When ingested, it can help you feel a bit more relaxed and at ease.

On its own, CBD won’t get you high. However, when combined with other cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC, cannabidiol can have a mellowing effect that balances out your high and makes it more beginner-friendly.

How Long Do THC-Infused Drinks Last?

THC-infused drinks like the sodas and seltzers in the Mood Shop are shelf stable, which means they technically don’t expire. However, we recommend cracking open all of the cans in your seltzer four-pack within a year of placing your order. That way, you’ll get the best flavor and most powerful effects.

To keep your drinkables nice and fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This storage strategy can be especially beneficial if your drinks are in glass bottles. The sun can degrade the cannabinoids in the beverages over time by breaking down the cannabinoids inside.

Is Consuming THC Drinks Legal?

The Farm Bill, passed in 2018, changed the way that most THC drinks are regulated.

Under this bill, products like gummies, seltzers, and even flower are legal as long as they fall below 0.3% Delta-9 THC content by dry weight.

It’s important to note that marijuana is still federally illegal in the US, and some traditional edibles and drinkables are classified as marijuana based on their THC content.

As long as you get your THC infused sodas and seltzers from a reputable source like the Mood Shop, you don’t have to worry about their legality.

FAQs About THC Beverages

Q: Should I drink THC-infused beverages if I have a sensitive stomach?

A: If soda sometimes upsets your stomach, we recommend trying different cannabis consumption methods to see what makes you feel the best.

Each type of edible and drinkable interacts with your digestive system in its own unique way, and the fast onset of psychoactive effects can be a source of nausea for some folks. If that sounds like your experience, switching to edibles or drinks with a slower onset time might be a better option.

It’s important to note that we can’t offer you medical advice about your relationship with cannabis. If you find that THC-infused drinks make you feel queasy, it’s worthwhile to talk to your doctor.

Q: What about THC-infused coffee?

A: Cannabis coffee has become more and more popular over the last several years, and it’s a fun way to start the morning. However, we aren’t the biggest fans of the current options on the market.

The reason we steer clear of THC-infused coffee is because of the feeling that a combo of lots of caffeine and lots of THC can produce.

The result is sometimes a bit overwhelming — and it’s easy to see why. Psychoactive cannabinoids and stimulating caffeine can sometimes be an incredible combination, but lower amounts of caffeine are usually better.

If you’re interested in a little bit of caffeine alongside your high, we recommend our Hero Dose Nano THC Syrup.

Q: What’s the difference between drinking THC and smoking or vaping?

A: When you ingest THC in its liquid form, you can count on longer-lasting effects that take more time to set in. This is because the cannabinoids pass through your digestive system and are metabolized by your liver rather than entering your bloodstream via your lungs.
