If you pay attention to the labels of the THC drinks appearing in retail stores on brand website, or through links in our Product Directory, you’ll notice wide variations in the amount of CBD that drinks contain. Some include CBD in varying quantities and other brands don’t atall. The presence of CBD inTHC drinks can impact the effects experienced, influencing both the intensity and nature of the “high”.
Here are a few ways that CBD interacts with THC in beverages:
- Softening the “heady” effects of THC which can reduce anxiety or paranoia: a milder “high”.
- Longer to feel the effects: CBD may delay the onset of THC’s effects, possibly by influencing how the body metabolizes THC.
- Boosting the impact of THC: CBD may increase THC blood levels
- Entourage Effect: CBD and THC are believed to work nicely together through what’s called the “entourage effect,” where their combined power is greater than either alone.
- Therapeutic Benefits:
- Pain Relief
- Reducing Inflammation:
- Ratio Matters: The amount of CBD compared to THC plays a role in the overall effects of the drink.
