Cannabis beverages are no longer a niche product — they’re becoming a major player in the growing world of legal cannabis. From sparkling seltzers to micro-dosed tonics, THC-infused drinks offer a smoke-free, social, and increasingly sophisticated way to consume cannabis.
But for new consumers and retailers alike, questions abound:
- How strong are they?
- Are they legal in my state?
- How do you order them safely?
- What flavors are available?
- What are the best brands?
Whether you’re a curious customer, a hospitality business, or a retail buyer, this in-depth guide from Kuypers Creative covers everything you need to know about THC-infused drinks — including the top 10 brands, how to order them, and tips for safe consumption.
What Are THC-Infused Drinks?
THC-infused drinks (also called weed drinks or cannabis beverages) are drinks that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Unlike smoking or vaping, THC beverages provide a discreet and smoke-free method of cannabis consumption.
These drinks come in various forms, including:
- Sparkling water
- Iced teas
- Tonics
- Cocktails (non-alcoholic)
- Energy drinks
- Juices and lemonades
Common THC Dosages:
- 2–5 mg THC: Great for beginners (microdosed)
- 5–10 mg THC: Moderate effects, often the standard dose
- 10–20+ mg THC: For more experienced users
Some drinks include CBD, CBN, or other cannabinoids to balance or enhance the experience.
Why THC Drinks Are Gaining Popularity
The market for cannabis beverages is expected to surpass $2 billion globally by 2028. Here’s why more consumers are reaching for weed drinks instead of joints or edibles:
Discreet & Social
Enjoy in social settings without the stigma or smoke.
Fast Onset Time
Nanoemulsion technology allows drinks to take effect in 10–20 minutes, compared to 45+ minutes for traditional edibles.
Dose Control
Precise THC levels per serving offer more control over your experience.
Innovative Flavors
Brands are creating award-winning beverages that taste amazing, from fruit blends to herbal infusions.
Legal Considerations: Can You Order THC Drinks Online?
Quick Answer: It Depends on Your State
THC-infused drinks are legal in states where recreational or medical cannabis is allowed, but interstate shipping is federally illegal.
Legal Pathways to Purchase:
- In-Store Dispensaries: The most common and compliant way
- Licensed Delivery Services: In states like California and Massachusetts
- On-Site Consumption Lounges: Some locations allow cannabis beverages to be served on-premises
- DTC (Direct to Consumer): Delta-9 THC drinks derived from hemp are shippable in some states under the 2018 Farm Bill
Always check your state’s cannabis laws before attempting to buy or ship THC beverages.
How to Order THC Drinks: Step-by-Step Guide
Ordering THC drinks requires navigating a few steps depending on your state’s laws. Here’s how to do it safely and legally:
1. Confirm State Laws
Make sure THC beverages are legal for recreational or medical use in your area.
2. Choose a Reputable Source
Look for licensed dispensaries or delivery services. Some brands partner with legal online platforms for ordering.
3. Create an Account
You’ll typically need to upload ID verification to prove you’re over 21.
4. Select Your Products
Choose by dose, cannabinoid content (THC/CBD), flavor, and brand.
5. Pay Securely
Many platforms now accept debit cards or digital payments. Cash-only may still be required in some dispensaries.
6. Schedule Pickup or Delivery
If available, choose time slots or pickup windows. For DTC hemp drinks, shipping may take 3–5 days.
