Why THC Beverages Are All The Rage Right Now
You might have found this article after stumbling across delta-9 THC beverages on the shelves of your local liquor store. THC beverages are taking the market by storm, attracting consumers from casual cannabis users to those seeking an alcohol free alternative. But what exactly is driving the popularity of these beverages, and why are they considered a game-changer for the struggling alcohol industry? Today on Cannalier, we’re diving into the reasons behind the surge in demand for delta-9 THC drinks and exploring what makes them so appealing to consumers.
Meet the New Alcohol Alternative
Scrolled through Meta lately? You may have been barraged by ads from THC beverage companies touting its benefits as an alternative to alcohol, like the one below:
What can be better than avoiding that dreaded morning hangover? We’ve all been there. You had a long night out where poor decisions led to excess consumption. You knew you should have stopped after that fourth margarita, but you just keep going. You partied like it was 1999 – and now you’re paying for it, dearly. It’s morning the next day and your eyelids feel like sandpaper, your body feels like you played a round of NFL football without the protective gear, your throat is screaming for water, and your head somehow fit the world’s largest gong inside there and it’s banging incessantly. Hangovers sucks. THC beverages give you a similar buzz to alcohol without the hangover. You can have that same long night out, without feeling like death the next morning.
Most THC beverages available on the market have much lower caloric amounts than your standard cocktail and lower sugars. Indulging on a night out with no hangover and no waist line worries? Sign us up.
Enjoy Convenient and Discreet Consumption
Unless you are a cannabis user, you probably aren’t down for lighting up a blunt in a public. Despite decades of progress and increased social acceptance of cannabis use, there is no denying that for some, a stigma still exists.
Most delta-9 THC beverages on the market today are 12 ounce seltzers, and can easily, and discreetly, replace your standard White Claw without fanfare. We suspect you’ll love the effects so much that you want to share the news, but if you don’t, canned THC seltzers can be enjoyed without attracting attention in a social setting because they look like any other beverage. And if you’re a cocktail drinker, have no fear – the market has several ready to drink options to replace any cocktail.
Experience Quick Effects
THC beverages tend to have rapid onset because absorption of THC begins in the mouth from the very first sip and continues in the stomach. This quick onset is thanks to nanoemulsion, in which THC is broken down into tiny, nano-sized particles, which are then suspended in a liquid. This process creates a stable emulsion, allowing the THC to be more easily absorbed by the body. This easy absorption leads to faster onset. For most THC beverages, you’ll feel effects within 10-15 minutes of consumption.
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
It is no secret that for most people, cannabis can make you a hell of a lot happier – at least temporarily. THC beverages can elevate your mood, which helps you to relax in social settings. Many drinkers report that THC beverages help them to better socialize and engage in conversation. If you have social anxiety, THC beverages can help you relax while gathering with friends.
Alcohol consumption and alcohol sales are down across the board. Younger generations and those looking for a healthier alternatives are turning away from traditional alcohol and embracing alternatives such as THC beverages. With the lack of hangover and social benefits, it’s no wonder these drinks are becoming all the rage.
And with that rage comes new market entrants. It seems like every day an unheard of company is cranking out another THC seltzer. Are you a new consumer overwhelmed with choices? Look no further.
