Published on 11/1/22

Cannabis-infused treats are quickly taking over, with new goodies constantly becoming available to us. The rise of cannabis-infused drinks is one of the more exciting developments to come from the edibles category, giving us something delicious to sip while enjoying the effects of THC.

Let's explore why these beverages are so great for chilly fall days and how you can make your own!

What is a Canna Beverage?

Cannabis-infused drinks, commonly referred to as "canna beverages" or "THC beverages," are a type of drink containing THC.

These drinks come in various types and flavors, available as pre-made products at your local dispensary. You can sip your way into a high, which can be great for social gatherings and enjoying yourself with others.

Canna beverages can be made in different ways. Some brands make them with distillate, while others create their very own cannabis syrup. There are even brands that make products that can turn any beverage into a canna beverage, putting the power in your hands with drops or powders.

While cannabis-infused beverages at the store are great, did you know you can make your own?

Whipping up your own canna beverage lets you turn your favorite drinks at home into an even better version with THC!
