If you’ve ever considered swapping your Saturday night cocktail and trading it for a THC-infused drink, you’re not alone. Cannabis beverages are growing in popularity with sales hitting nearly $800 million in 2020. Demand has also met interest, with the latest cannabis craze touting to be a break from alcohol and a great way to have fun without the hangover and excessive calories. But many who haven’t tried this new take on THC may be wondering, what makes it so different?
While cannabis and alcohol may both give you a ‘buzz,’ experts say they behave in the body very differently. Consuming THC beverages offers up a shorter-lived effect which, many say, is part of the appeal. Drinking Cannabis allows you to get a milder buzz that builds up slowly and dissipates quickly.
If you’re on the fence about giving up your five o’clock glass of wine in favor of a cannabis-canned beverage, consider this; a cannabis-consumed option can be more affordable (depending on how much you’re consuming of course). Cocktails, wine and even IPA’s are not cheap but just a few THC drinks can offer up the same “buzz” without breaking the bank. The lack of alcoholic hangovers is also a nice perk too, especially for moms on the move with little ones to care for at all hours of the day. Forgoing that happy hour-infused headache can make all the difference when you’re forced to be up and raring to go for your kiddos.
THC-tasting cocktails are rising in popularity in New York, especially with the legalization of cannabis use within the state. For some, these THC options may be what you’re looking for as an alcohol alternative or as a permanent replacement. Whatever your preference, these THC-inspired tasting options are not only on the rise but growing in popularity and consumption. So cheers to a better buzz, without the hefty hangover and even more cannabis options to choose from.
