What You Should Know Before Using THC. drink

If you live in a cannabis-friendly state, you’ve likely come across a wide variety of THC-infused beverages (also known as drinkables or liquid edibles) at pharmacies and online. From juices to health shots, coffee, sparkling water, wine, and other infused alcoholic beverages, and everything else in between, the cannabis beverage industry is growing into a promising niche of its own.

You have probably tried a few of these by now. And the canna drinks of 2021 are nothing like those of two years or more ago. The earliest cannabis drinks weren’t much to write home about: they lacked flavor, were likely chunky because of the pot pieces floating around, and had an odd texture. Thanks to science and technology, today’s drinks have evolved and are much more pleasant to drink.

In case you didn’t know, cannabis is extremely difficult to convert into liquid beverage form. This is because cannabinoids – including THC and CBD – cannot mix well with water because they are fat-soluble. That’s why baked goods like brownies and other edibles have been the standard for so long because THC combines very well with oils and other fatty butters.

After all, for anyone who loves cannabis and is looking for a fun, interesting new way to consume, these drink options are really exciting. But as with any other method of consumption, there are certain things you should know before indulging yourself.

dosage

If this is your first time trying cannabis drinkables, the same dosage rule applies as for cannabis edibles and other products: start slowly. Various doses of THC are available in beverages; anything under 2.5 mg of THC is great for microdosing or beginners. You will hardly feel any psychoactive effects, but if you want more, you can try a drink with 2.5-10 mg of THC.

Anything over 10 mg can have powerful psychoactive effects, and for inexperienced users this could be too powerful. However, this dosage is suitable for those who have severe chronic pain or are struggling with insomnia. Then there are also drinks with 30mg of THC, which have strong psychoactive effects and

Use caution when mixing cannabis with alcohol

If you live in a legal state, some fine establishments offer cannabis cocktails and other ready-to-drink alcoholic cannabis-infused beverages. Remember, both weed and alcohol will calm you down, as they will both relax you by making you react differently.

Alcoholic beverages can hit people pretty quickly, but when you consume THC in liquid form, like edibles, it can take longer to arrive depending on the technology used to make them. There are many factors that play a role such as your metabolism, weight, tolerance and how often you are already consuming THC. Depending on this, you can expect to feel struck for anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours when consuming a marijuana-infused drink. In addition, once you feel it, the effects can be more intense than expected – and they can last for quite a long time.

Newer technologies like nanoemulsions allow cannabis beverages to hit faster these days. Sometimes you can feel the hit of a drink in 30 minutes or less.

In some cases, you can feel high for up to 6 hours and even feel the effects through a prolonged hangover the next day. However, there is no way to reliably predict how a cannabis drink will hit you; some people just feel sleepy.

For this reason, bars that serve recreational cannabis usually use CBD oil. But the laws are constantly changing, and in many countries it is still illegal to mix THC and alcohol in public places like a bar or even in a drink. For this reason, hemp-based cannabis, which is high in CBD instead of THC, is more commonly used for flavoring.

Storage matters

Although the industry is still new, we learn a lot along the way. One of these is storage, and the type of container of THC drinks is known to be important, as well as the fact that potency can be reduced when using aluminum cans. For this reason, it is better to look for THC drinks that are stored in glass bottles and jars.

Good option for new cannabis users

If you can find an established brand of cannabis drinks near you, especially those made with modern technologies, including nanoemulsions that hit you faster, this could be a great option for new consumers as you can gauge their effects much faster.

Getting high quicker can help avoid getting too high or over-consuming because you didn’t have to wait too long.

Because of the flexibility of cannabis beverages, it’s also a great option for new consumers. You can consume them in so many ways, such as: B. pour on ice or mix with juice and other non-alcoholic drinks.

Do it at home

Because the technology required to successfully make THC beverages can be complicated, expensive, and technical, doing so at home is not recommended. There are certain regulations in place for brands that make their own cannabis drinks to ensure that they are safe to consume. There are some risks involved in trying to make these drinks at home.

The best way to make a THC drink at home is to have a THC tincture or oil ready – and just add some of it to your favorite beverage, be it water, coffee, or juice.
