THC Seltzers: The Drink of the Summer?
It’s the middle of summer. The grill is going, the sun is beaming, and everyone seems to have a refreshing drink in their hand. That drink used to almost always be a beer, but these days, it could just as easily be a THC seltzer.
Weed beverages have been on dispensary menus for years now. Like most cannabis products, they started with just a handful of options before expanding into an established category. Today, it’s common to find a variety of choices, including seltzers, sodas, lemonades, and other infused drinks.
So, what exactly is a THC seltzer?
Simply put, it’s a sparkling beverage infused with THC. They’re popular among people looking for a smoke-free way to enjoy weed or an alternative to alcohol, making them a great fit for cookouts, parties, and other social gatherings.
Another reason these drinks have become so popular is that many of them are designed to work faster than traditional edibles. Many use a process called nano-emulsification, which breaks THC into tiny particles your body can absorb more efficiently. That’s why many weed drinks begin working within 15 to 30 minutes, compared to traditional edibles that usually take much longer.
If you’re trying one for the first time, keep in mind that most contain around 5 milligrams of THC per drink—about the same as a standard gummy. If you have a higher tolerance, liquid tinctures or powdered drink mixes offer more flexibility to customize your dosage.
Whether you’re sunbathing by the pool, hosting a cookout, or just winding down after work, weed beverages offer another refreshing way to enjoy the summer!
