Drink Your Cannabis

Cannabis-infused beverages can be a refreshing alternative to ordinary mixed drinks and a unique way to enjoy cannabis in casual settings, during celebrations and more. Cannabis-infused “mocktails” taste like a cocktail but are great as a non-alcoholic alternative for après ski evening wind downs. Consider them in the same category as cannabis edibles, but drinkable.

When drinking cannabis, start slow and gauge how you feel before imbibing more. Liquid (i.e., emulsified) cannabis products often are absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly than typical edibles. Most people begin to feel the initial effects in as little as 10–20 minutes from the first swallow, with the peak of relaxation setting in 45–90 minutes after the first glass. So plan to allow the effects to settle a bit before whipping up another batch.
