THC drinks 101

THC beverages, or cannabis-infused drinks, are an increasingly popular way to enjoy cannabis. Unlike solid edibles, liquids like seltzers and sodas use a water-soluble form of THC. This innovation was key to unlocking beverages’ popularity; since THC is a fat-soluble substance by nature, it was quite difficult to make beverages before the development and adoption of water-soluble cannabinoids.

What generally sets drinks apart from other edibles is their quick onset time. That’s because THC beverages are absorbed into your bloodstream through your mouth, esophagus, and stomach tissues as you drink them. The potency and onset time can vary depending on your metabolism, the dosage of the drink, and your tolerance.

The rise of THC drinks: Why are they so popular?

THC beverages are captivating the curiosity of both seasoned cannabis enthusiasts and newcomers. The global cannabis beverage market is skyrocketing: it was worth $915 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $19 billion by 2028. Here’s why dispensary shoppers are reaching for cans over bongs.

• Discretion and convenience: Unlike smoking or vaping, which can be more conspicuous, beverages let you enjoy the effects of cannabis without breaking out a bunch of accessories. Plus, unlike an edible that takes just a few seconds to eat, you can sip your beverage over a longer period.

• New and exciting experience: The concept of sipping a cannabis-infused beverage introduces an element of novelty and sophistication to the cannabis experience. This can be a significant draw for consumers looking for something beyond traditional consumption methods.

• Alternative to alcohol: Lots of folks are drawn to the idea of a social, recreational beverage that provides a milder, more controlled experience than alcohol. This attitude may be called the “California sober” lifestyle, but New Yorkers from all walks of life are embracing this mindful approach to drinking, too. If you’re at an event or a party and don’t want to drink, you still get to hold a THC beverage in the crowd. Bonus: you can skip the hangover.
