The hottest cannabis products right now are THC and CBD-infused drinks. Here’s the lowdown.
What are Cannabis-Infused drinks?
Cannabis-infused drinks are beverages that contain cannabinoids, usually in the form of THC or CBD. You can find them in different flavors and potencies in your favorite drinks, like coffee, tea, soda, or even beer and wine.
Cannabis-infused drinks can provide a unique experience and are the perfect choice for those looking for a modern, discreet and convenient way to consume cannabis. They are also perfect for those who don’t want to deal with the hassle of smoking or vaping cannabis.
The Effects of Cannabis-Infused Drinks
- When you take a sip of a cannabis-infused drink, it’s like sending a little party straight to your brain. Depending on whether it’s infused with THC or CBD (or a mix of both), you’ll experience a range of effects that can be both relaxing and exhilarating.
- THC, of course, is known for its psychoactive effects. In other words, it’s what gives you that classic cannabis high. So, when you indulge in a THC-infused beverage, get ready for a ride.
- CBD-infused drinks offer a different kind of experience. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is known for its relaxing and therapeutic effects. So, when you sip on a CBD-infused beverage, you might feel a sense of calm wash over you, like sinking into a warm bath after a long day. It’s perfect for taking the edge off anxiety, easing muscle tension, and experiencing a general sense of well-being – all without the psychoactive effects of THC.
- Cannabis-infused drinks can also contain a variety of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and other botanical ingredients, each with its own unique effects and benefits. Some might help enhance the overall experience, while others might provide targeted relief.
What are the Different Types of Infused Beverages?
There are several different kinds of cannabis-infused beverages you can buy at your local dispensary, smoke shop, specialty store, or even online. These products include cannabis-infused sodas, coffees, teas, energy drinks, and even beer. You can also mix up your own concoctions at home using tinctures or other pre-mixed elixirs.
Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC Infused Drinks
Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is known for the typical “high” associated with smoking the ganja. It can also relieve pain and nausea and reduce swelling, among other benefits. Drinks with THC provide euphoria, relaxation, and that classic buzz.
Delta-8-infused drinks are beverages that contain delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC), which is a cannabinoid found in cannabis. Similar to Delta-9 THC but with a much milder effect, Delta-8 is somewhere between CBD and D-9 THC in terms of its effects.
CBD Infused Beverages
CBD drinks are a relaxing, non-psychoactive alternative to THC. Although CBD doesn’t give you that intense euphoria like THC, it can still have noticeable effects, such as reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and reducing inflammation.
CBD can also be used to counteract THC’s occasional undesirable effects, including paranoia and anxiety. If you want something mildly mind-enhancing without the intense effects of THC-infused drinks or other cannabis-infused gummies or edibles, these two make a great pair.

How Long Do Infused Drinks Take to Kick in, and How Long Do They Last?
The effects of cannabis-infused drinks are usually felt within thirty minutes to two hours after consumption, depending on things such as your metabolism, the amount of food you consume, and whether you have eaten recently. It’s important to remember that cannabis-infused drinks can last for several hours, so plan accordingly!
It’s also important to know the drink’s potency. You can always drink more if you’re not feeling the desired effects, but just remember not to overdo it. Mixing CBD and THC can help you find the perfect balance, too.
