We all love edibles. They’re convenient, discrete, delicious, and can be potent enough to give you an amazing experience however you enjoy them. But there’s a category of cannabis edibles that’s not quite ‘edible’— cannabis beverages, and more and more amazing brands are creating incredible products in this category on the rise.

Technically, cannabis drinks are considered to fall in the ‘edibles’ category, since edibles describe any cannabis product that enters your body through your digestive system. But what you really need to know is that the category of cannabis beverages is filled with amazing, delicious, and high-quality products and brands— from refreshing teas to energizing coffees, delicious sodas to crisp selzers.

Here’s everything we think you should know about cannabis-infused drinks— including some of our favorites.

Cannabis-infused drinks are made by using a process (usually involving heat) to activate the cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, such as THC or CBD, then dissolving them entirely alongside other ingredients to create the final product.
Want to know exactly how much THC, CBD, and other materials are in your cannabis drink? Simply read the label, which will always be clearly marked with all of the important information you need to know to buy and drink responsibly.

As more and more high-quality brands have entered the cannabis beverage game, you’ll find an amazing range of products to try out. From flavored waters and seltzers to cannabis-infused coffee, soda, tea, and more, there’s something for just about everybody.

Whether you’re looking for a potent cannabis experience or just want a very light buzz that comes from microdosing, you’re sure to find a cannabis-infused drink that’s right for your interests. Just check out the label before buying to make sure you’re buying the right product for you. Meanwhile, remember that some cannabis beverage products are designed to be used in mixed drinks— so the potency is largely up to you.

This brings us to one of the most frequently asked questions we receive about cannabis drinks— will they actually get you high?

Like other cannabis products, the potency of cannabis drinks exists on a spectrum. You can’t expect the same potency from one drink that you’ll find in another from a different brand. Some are designed for microdosing and feature very little THC content (or none at all, in some CBD-based drinks). Others have much higher THC content.

Don’t be fooled just because you don’t immediately feel a high after your first few sips of a cannabis beverage— like other edibles, the THC from cannabis beverages takes some time to enter your system. Start low and slow, then work your way up while remembering that it may be an hour or two before you start to feel the effects.

You’ll find a range of excellent cannabis-infused drink brands at The Farmacy. Here are some of our absolute favorites that we think you’ll love.
