For a long time, the preferred method of cannabis consumption was smoking. While many users still enjoy smoking, the legalization of cannabis in many states has paved the way for some incredible innovations. Today, there’s vaping, dabbing, tinctures, and topicals. There’s also a vast array of different types of edibles, including chocolates, baked goods, and gummies. The innovation doesn’t end there, though. Now the cannabis market is starting to produce infused beverages. Here are some cannabis drink options to watch out for.
Sparkling Water
It’s no secret that drinking plenty of water throughout the day is essential for your health. Sparkling water provides a more fun alternative to plain filtered or spring water. For many, it’s more fun, and it’s easier to drink.
Companies like Creative Waters Co. are taking sparkling water and amping it up with the addition of THC and CBD. The company offers two versions of three flavors, berry-lemon, cucumber-lime, and passionfruit tangerine. According to the website, they’re “sweet, bubbly, and oh so extra” with varying levels of CBD and THC.
Craft Sodas
If you prefer a fizzy drink other than sparkling water, check out cannabis-infused sodas. The Fizz was one of the first to hit shelves in California dispensaries, making its debut in 2017. The sodas, available in three flavors, contain 10 milligrams of THC. There are also craft sodas from California Dreamin’, which are a mix of sparkling water, real fruit juice, and 10 milligrams of THC in a 12-ounce bottle.
Coffee
Many people enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. It provides a little boost to jumpstart the day. What better way to kick your cup of joe up in the morning than adding a little cannabis?
If you prefer to brew a cup at home, companies like Ganja Grindz, BrewBudz, and House of Jane offer coffee pods for a fresh hot cup in just minutes. You’ll find cold brew cannabis coffee options from companies like Koala and Canyon Cultivation. For a ready-to-drink flavored coffee, check out Therapy Tonics and Provisions.
Tea
While it’s only recently gained popularity, cannabis tea has been around for a while. A nice warm cup at the end of a long day gives you an excellent way to relax. Adding cannabis to the blend can bring you into a deeper state of relaxation, while also alleviating pain and helping you to sleep.
If you’re feeling crafty, you can make your own tea with ground flower, a binding agent, a tea bag or coffee filter, and hot water. If you’d prefer to just heat up some hot water and toss in a packaged tea bag, look into companies like California-based Kikoko.
Wine and Beer
Beer and wine are some of the favorite beverages for adults in the US. These beverages are actually nonalcoholic since it’s illegal to combine alcohol and THC into a drink. They still taste like regular beer and wine, though. The difference, aside from not having any alcohol in them, is that they provide the wonderful effects of cannabis in a more enjoyable form.
Cannabis Drink Options Satisfy
Infused beverages broaden the cannabis market even more. If you’re interested in giving any of these cannabis drink innovations a shot, look for them the next time you visit your local dispensary.
