Everything You Need to Know About THC Seltzers

Gone are the days when you have to smoke weed out of an apple or a “tobacco” bong. For those who enjoy the buzz of THC but not the dryness of cotton mouth, you can now consume your THC out of a can – and not one you made into a makeshift pipe. THC seltzers are trending right now, and they offer a whole new way to experience cannabis.

If you’ve been curious about THC seltzers, you’re not alone. These intriguing beverages offer an appealing alternative to traditional ways of consuming THC. People are gravitating toward THC seltzers because they provide a mild, refreshing, and unique experience. No more worrying about the harshness of smoking or the imprecise dosing of homemade edibles. THC seltzers offer a different kind of high, one that’s appreciated by both seasoned cannabis enthusiasts and newcomers. Here’s everything you need to know about these refreshing cannabis-infused beverages.

What They Contain and How They’re Made

So, what’s inside these cans of THC-infused goodness? THC seltzers typically contain Delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, along with a dash of CBD or other cannabinoids. The infusion process involves careful preparation to create a tasty, bubbly concoction. These drinks typically contain 5-10 mg of THC, which should (depending on your tolerance) provide a moderate buzz. According to NuggMD, when you ingest a drink with 10 mg of THC, it will take up to 2 hours to feel the effects and the high will last 6-12 hours. So if you don’t feel the effects right away, wait a couple of hours. The standard dose in the industry is 5 mg.

With a range of flavors to choose from, these seltzers are tasty and deliver a mild yet satisfying cannabis experience. However, make sure you know what you’re getting because there are drinks that contain up to 100 mg which is considered a very high dose. Always proceed with caution and know your tolerance level.

The Legal Landscape

Before diving into the world of THC seltzers, it’s essential to understand the legal side of things. Regulations surrounding cannabis vary from state to state, and even the sale of THC-infused seltzers is subject to specific laws and restrictions. As a prime example, New York recently introduced regulations limiting the THC content in consumable cannabis products. While it’s essential to stay informed about the legal status of THC seltzers in your area, these innovative beverages are primarily available in states with legalized recreational cannabis. The states and provinces that have decriminalized marijuana for recreational use are Colorado, Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, D.C., California, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Michigan, Vermont, Guam, Illinois, Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, New Mexico, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Minnesota.
