New to THC Drinks? Here’s How to Start Slowly and Sip Smart

So, you’ve heard the buzz about THC-infused drinks and want to give them a try. Welcome to the fun! But before you dive in, it’s important to know that enjoying a THC beverage is a bit different than your usual cocktail or soda. Here are some tips to ease into the world of hemp-derived THC drinks with confidence.

Start Low and Go Slow

THC drinks, especially those infused with Delta-9, are not like your average alcoholic beverage. The effects might take a little longer to kick in (anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes), so it’s best to start with a small dose—around 2-5 mg of THC is a good place to begin. Unlike alcohol, where you might feel tipsy after a couple of drinks, the effects of THC can be more gradual. So, give it some time before reaching for a second drink.

Understand the Effects

For newbies, THC-infused drinks can offer a mellow, relaxing vibe without the sharp edge of alcohol. You might feel a sense of euphoria, reduced anxiety, and a slight body high. However, the experience can vary depending on your tolerance level. Everyone’s body reacts differently to THC, so be mindful of how you’re feeling as you sip. 

Hydrate

Just like with alcohol, staying hydrated is key. Keep a glass of water nearby to sip alongside your THC beverage to ensure you stay hydrated and pace yourself.

With these tips in mind, enjoy the new world of THC beverages! Whether you’re curious about trying a cannabis-infused seltzer or a non-alcoholic CBD gin and tonic, it’s all about relaxing, savoring the flavor, and having fun—at your own pace. Cheers!
