So, how do THC drinks compare to edibles and alcohol? Let’s break it down.
A small note from us here: you know your body best. Don’t let anybody tell ya’ different, alright? Take it easy when ingesting anything and listen to your body. We’re not recommending the amount you drink, nor can we say precisely what happens when you drink THC, eat edibles, or use alcohol. Everyone is different. These are generalizations made based on our own experiences.
THC Drinks vs Edibles
While edibles can offer a potent high, they often come with a delayed onset, sometimes taking up to 2 hours to take effect. And once you feel that high, it can be stronger than you expected... or wanted. Many have experienced that dreaded moment when they’ve consumed an edible and realize it’s too much to handle — leading to a distinctly non-floaty experience.
In contrast, THC beverages can be more predictable and controllable. They’re absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream (sublingually, if you need to know that), similar to drinking alcohol. Most people can sip and gauge how they’re feeling in short order (we say onset of effects is typically 10 - 15 minutes). If you want to intensify the experience, you can have another can. If not, no worries. Plus, the low-dose, buildable high is mixed with a 6mg dose of CBD so you're more likely to have a smoother ride.
THC Drinks vs Alcohol
The beauty of THC beer is that it’s non-alcoholic, yet still provides all the social drinking vibes. Because THC is metabolized differently than alcohol - and has quite a different effect in general (being high vs being drunk), THC beer tends to be a more relaxed experience - at least for us. It’s hard to say on the individual level, but for us there tends to be less regrettable feelings the next day.
