5 Reasons You Have to Try Cannabis Drinks
When you’re looking for edibles, you were probably thinking cannabis gummies, brownies, cookies, or other similar snacks. Today we want to show you why cannabis beverages are the hottest craze in the weed world today. Find below our 5 reasons why you simply must try a cannabis beverage. Don’t believe us? Chat with one of our amazing budtenders at our Hamilton Cannabis Store, or our Woodstock Cannabis Store! Without further ado:
1. Absorption Efficiency
We’ve all been there. You eat an edible gummy, and decide to walk around James Street North while it kicks in. After a while you think there’s no way it should take this long, and you get home just for it to finally kick in.
Well, this doesn’t really happen with cannabis drinks. THC beverages are infused with an emulsified cannabinoid – basically meaning it’s easier to get into your system. This means you’re not stuck waiting around for your weed edible to kick in, instead by the end of your first drink it’s already hit.
2. They’re A Great Alcohol Substitute
Steering clear of alcohol this summer? We get it - whether you’re looking to lose weight, stay better hydrated, or you’re just looking to steer clear in general - cannabis drinks are an excellent alternative!
A social beverage at heart, all of our cannabis drinks can be functional and well-suited to a party night out, a chill night in, or for a casual sip outside. They’re also generally lower in calories, sugar, and artificial sweeteners, meaning they can certainly help you get that summer bod!
3. They Can Have Added Health Benefits
Speaking of losing weight, did you know that you could easily consume over 1500 calories on an evening of drinking? Cannabis beverages generally have a fraction of the calories that alcohol does, and it doesn’t give you the same hangover the next day.
Studies have also shown that cannabis products can reduce stress & anxiety and can be a sleep aid for certain users. While alcohol is treated by the body as a toxin, cannabis is processed differently – within the body's endocannabinoid system – resulting in a better overall processing of the drug. This means no longer will you have to waste a day because you had a great night!
4. They Can Add Some Kick to Your Drink
Sometimes your favourite juice or sparkling water just needs a little extra flavour! Cannabis drinks are an excellent way to spice up an only okay drink. Have lemonade? Add a Watermelon seltzer for some additional fruity flavour and a little added kick!
CBD & THC can both provide a wonderful result and adding them to an already great drink can help boost those drinks to another level. Making that Sunday iced tea with a little CBD kick can really help calm the day away.
5. They’re Delicious & Refreshing!
With a breadth of flavours on the market today, we’re certain that anyone can find one to their liking. With summer finally here, we all want to cool off from the brutal heat with a cold, refreshing drink. Cannabis drinks allow you to not only quench the summer thirst, but also get THC, CBD or CBN into your system at the same time – two birds, and whatnot.
