THC Drinks Explained: How They Work and What to Expect

THC drinks are also called weed drinks. But what are weed drinks? They’re beverages infused with cannabis extracts. Instead of consuming flower or vaping, you can drink the cannabis product and absorb THC through the digestive system. 

While it’s part of the edibles category, THC drinks tend to be faster-acting because the body doesn’t have to work as hard to process the product. The effects will vary from person to person based on things like your metabolism, when you last ate, and your THC tolerance levels. 

There is a huge range of THC drinks available, including different flavors and formats. Most drinks have either 5 mg or 10 mg of THC per bottle or can, and the measured servings make it easy to pace. As with any other cannabis product, consume responsibly and follow package directions.

From Seltzers to Shots: The Different Types of Weed Drinks

Walk into a well-stocked dispensary, and you’ll find weed-infused drinks of all kinds. You have more options than ever, including: 

  • Cannabis seltzers: Sparkling beverages that often have fruit-forward flavors and a light, refreshing taste. 
  • Infused sparkling waters: Simple, crisp option with subtle flavors that don’t rely on sweetness. 
  • Cannabis lemonades: Familiar flavors with cannabis extracts for a refreshing summertime experience. 
  • Cannabis tonics: Feature botanical ingredients and unique flavor combinations. 
  • Cannabis shots: Smaller serving sizes with concentrated flavors, sometimes with higher potency. 

5mg vs. 10mg: Choosing the Right Dose

Should you choose 5 mg THC drinks or 10mg THC drinks? 

In general, we recommend 5 mg options for newer consumers or anyone looking for a lighter experience. These low-dose drinks can be a good starting point, whether you are trying cannabis for the first time or aren’t sure if THC drinks belong in your rotation. If you have a high THC tolerance or know you love THC beverages, then a 10 mg beverage might be your preference.

How Long Do Weed Drinks Take to Kick In?

The answer to how long it takes for weed drinks to kick in depends on two things: you and the drink itself. 

Most cannabis beverages will start to take effect within 15 to 60 minutes. A lot of newer drinks on the market use nano-emulsified cannabis extracts, which are designed to be absorbed by the body faster and can produce effects faster than traditional drinks or edibles. 

Always drink responsibly. Because the timing can vary from person to person, don’t consume additional servings back-to-back. Wait at least an hour before deciding if you need another dose.
