Taste It. Feel It.

How does it taste? How will it make me feel? Are they like edibles?

Those are the three most frequently asked questions that I receive in regard to our THC beverages. Let’s start with the first question.

Our drinks come in different flavors, and they truly do taste how they say they do. They DO NOT taste like THC oil or terpenes. THC is distilled and dissolved into liquids through a process called emulsification which keeps the oil particles from grouping back together. Therefore, everything blends and flows uniformly. Seltzer-based beverages taste like soda. Non-seltzer-based beverages taste like juice. Nowadays tastes like delicious smoothness. (No, seriously). And they all should be served COLD!

Also, no need to fear. The drinks are NOT like edibles. You control your dose because as you sip it, it starts to kick in within minutes. You’ll know when you had enough. The effects will last longer than they do when smoking (over an hour), but not as long as edibles (less than 6 hours). In my experience, the effects start to ease in within 15 minutes and fade away within 3 hours. So, no need to fret. You’ll feel as easy as Sunday morning.

What are Terpenes?

The only current exception is our Jet Life Grape Lemonade which is infused with real terpenes. However, terpenes and THC are very different. Terpenes are found in many plants, flowers, herbs, and fruits. They simply give them their flavors and aromas. For example, limonene is found in limes, lemons, and some cannabis strains likewise. Terpenes interact with the other chemicals in cannabis to enhance the effects. Limonene not only gives cannabis a lemon taste and smell, but it also makes users feel uplifted, creative, and energized. Other terpenes have other effects:
