Looking for an alternative to alcohol that still satisfies? Try a THC beverage. Whether you want to cut back on the beer or don’t drink at all, there’s a cannabis drink for you. We’ve rounded up our favorite THC drinks in our Snoqualmie dispensary to help you stock up with ease.
What’s a THC drink?
THC drinks are beverages infused with cannabis. They work like edibles, taking anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to take effect. Cannabis beverages come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are a versatile option for anyone looking to sip on their weed.
They also come in a variety of formulations. Some drinks only contain CBD, meaning users won’t get the high that’s associated with cannabis, but may still enjoy a sense of relaxation. Some THC beverages have other cannabinoid formulations, like a blend of THC and CBN, to promote sleep. For those who want a classic high experience, there are plenty of cannabis drinks with a large dose of THC and nothing else.
Why choose THC drinks over other beverages?
Infused beverages are great ways for those looking to enjoy a beverage socially, without the alcohol. After a long hard day of work or when you just want to kick back and relax, an ice cold THC drink can go a long way.
Many people opt for THC beverages in place of alcohol because, unlike booze, they don’t cause next-day effects like a hangover. This makes them a great choice for people looking to unwind without any future impacts.
Our cannabis beverage recommendations
Ready to sip on a cannabis infused beverage? Our North Bend area dispensary is stocked full of great options for all lifestyles. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite picks below.
But first, keep in mind that these cannabis beverages can go up to 100 mg of THC per bottle. That’s a lot of THC. Most of these drinks are meant to share or sip on in small doses. If you’re new to cannabis beverages or edibles in general, always start low and go slow. Take a sip or two and see how you feel before proceeding to drink more. Wait at least an hour to assess how your body reacts to the beverage before drinking any more.
With that said, here are our suggestions:
Blaze Live Resin Drinks
Blaze Sodas are well-loved among our customers for their great selection of nostalgic flavors. Made with fresh and potent live resin, a cannabis concentrate, their sodas go up to 100 mg of THC per bottle.
Available in orange cream, grape, lemon lime, root beer, and many other nostalgic flavors, Blaze Soda is a great choice for anyone looking for a sweet treat with a fun twist.
Happy Apple
For those who want a cannabis beverage that is not too soda-like, Happy Apple is the perfect option. Delicious and refreshing, their apple beverages come in a range of doses and pack a delicious, fruity, but not-too-sweet punch.
Made from fresh Washington apples, Happy Apple truly showcases the juicy flavors of this state’s most well-known crop.
Sungaze
Sungaze beverages are the perfect option for anyone looking to replace or cut back on their beer habit. Made from a collaboration between Bale Breaker Brewing Company and Painted Rooster Cannabis, some of their infused seltzers are low dose at just 2.5 mg of THC and 5 mg of CBD per can. This allows users to drink just one for a little chill or have a few cold ones after a long day without getting too blasted.
Cannabis Shots
Cannabis beverage shots are a popular product at our eastside dispensary, too. They contain just two ounces of fluid, but pack up to 100 mg of THC per tiny bottle.
Because they are so highly concentrated and potent, we love making other mixed drinks with these shots. They mix great into sparkling water and with a little lemon slice and mint garnish, you’re looking at a delicious, alcohol-free mocktail with little effort.
We have several THC shots available. Here are some of our favorites:
Journeyman
We absolutely love the versatility of Journeyman’s cannabis beverage shots. Available in a wide range of fruity lemonade flavors, these small bottles pack a powerful punch. They’re tart and sweet at the same time, with such refreshing fruit flavors that make you forget you’re consuming cannabis altogether.
Ratio
Much like our above recommendation, Ratio drinks are great for anyone looking to have total control over their cannabis beverage experience. Available in a range of fruity and tropical flavors, these shots are great on their own or mixed with sparkling water for a nice mocktail experience.
Final thoughts on cannabis drinks
As we warned earlier, be sure to go slow and low when it comes to cannabis beverages. If you’re not used to consuming edibles, you may be surprised at how the effects come on. Be sure to first consume somewhere safe where you don’t have to operate machinery or fulfill any obligations.
Our dispensary staff is happy to help you find the right cannabis beverage for your needs. Whether you’re just curious to see how they taste and feel or you’re looking for something to cut back on your alcohol intake with, cannabis beverages are the perfect versatile option.
