Top 8 Easy Cannabis Drinks Anyone Can Make at Home

Last Updated on June 1, 2020 by Kimberly Crawford

Just like alcoholic drinks and beverages, people also enjoy having cannabis drinks once in a while. These drinks are great at get-togethers to ward off the stress after work and relax for an evening.

Cannabis-infused drinks are becoming increasingly popular because they are delicious and easy-to-make recipes, offering an exciting way to consume THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.

Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is one of the prominent cannabinoids found in the Cannabis Sativa plant, known for offering several potential benefits. However, it is essential to always be aware of its side effects before planning on adding it to your lifestyle. It is important because every person’s tolerance level, dosage, and experience are supposed to be unique, differing from one person to another.

CBD is derived from hemp plants, which is a popular variant of the Cannabis Sativa. Sometimes, hemp seeds are also used to prepare cool edibles because of the many nutritional benefits it has to offer. But they do not contain cannabinoids like THC or CBD. If you wish to enjoy the perks of CBD, you might want to use CBD oil to prepare drinks at home. 

Similar to CBD, another well-known cannabinoid would be tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is found in abundance in marijuana plants, another variant of the Cannabis Sativa. People enjoy THC for recreational purposes because of its psychoactive effects.

Cannabis is definitely new in the market, but it is expected to expand exponentially in several industries, be it skincare, haircare, or food and beverage industries.

CBD or THC Products to Use for Making Drinks

You can use a standard CBD or THC oil as they are way more accessible these days. If you want to use both, be careful about the CBD:THC ratio while adding the dose.

If you wish to prepare a drink free from THC, you might want to consider buying a CBD isolate. Isolates do not contain THC even in negligible amounts, which allows you to enjoy the full benefits of the compound without experiencing psychoactive effects.
