What cannabis drinks are
Cannabis drinks are beverages with a measured dose of THC, and sometimes CBD, mixed in, so you get your cannabis by sipping rather than smoking or eating. The category is broad and growing fast. It includes sparkling sodas and seltzers, iced teas and lemonades, juices, hot teas, and concentrated shots you can drink on their own or add to a drink of your choice.
Technically a drink is a kind of edible, since you swallow it and your body processes the cannabis through digestion. But drinks have a character of their own. They feel social and familiar, like cracking a can or sharing a round, and the better made ones are built to come on faster and feel a little lighter than a heavy gummy, which makes them a different experience from other edibles.
The big draw is how natural they feel to use. There is no smoke, no smell and nothing that screams cannabis, just a beverage in your hand. For people who want to relax with something that fits the rhythm of a get together or a quiet evening drink, a cannabis beverage slides right into that role without any of the gear or ritual of smoking.
They also tend to feel like a more deliberate, contained way to enjoy cannabis. You pour one drink, you know the dose, and you sip it, which gives the whole thing a tidy beginning, middle and end rather than the open ended quality of a bag of snacks or a jar of flower. A lot of people find that structure makes drinks easy to enjoy responsibly.
The types of drinks we carry
Sparkling beverages are the most popular style, the sodas, seltzers and tonics that feel like grabbing a regular canned drink. They are refreshing, easy to sip, and come in a range of flavours and doses, which makes them the natural choice for a social setting where you want something in hand that feels normal.
Iced teas, lemonades and juices give you a flavourful, thirst quenching option that drinks like any soft drink. These are great for warm days or anyone who finds them more enjoyable than a fizzy drink. Hot teas are the cosy end of the menu, a warm, soothing cup for winding down in the evening, often blended with calming herbs alongside the cannabis.
Then there are shots, small concentrated servings carrying a full dose in a sip or two. Some are designed to be knocked back on their own, others to be stirred into a drink you already have. Shots are handy when you want a precise dose without finishing a whole can, and many are formulated for a faster onset.
Across all of these the principle is the same as any edible, a labelled dose of THC in a tasty liquid. The style you pick is about flavour and occasion, while the dose on the label is what shapes the effect. Doses vary across all of these styles, with some products kept deliberately light for easy social sipping and others made stronger for experienced consumers, so it is always worth a glance at the label to match the drink to how you are feeling and the occasion you are buying for.
How fast cannabis drinks work
This is where drinks get interesting, because many are made to come on faster than other edibles. A lot of cannabis beverages use special processing, often called nano or fast acting technology, that breaks the THC into tiny droplets your body can absorb more quickly. The result is an onset that can be noticeably faster than a gummy, sometimes in as little as fifteen to thirty minutes for these fast acting drinks.
Not every drink is fast acting, though, so it pays to check. A standard infused beverage that has not been specially processed behaves more like any other edible, taking the usual thirty minutes to two hours to arrive. The label or product description will usually tell you whether a drink is the fast acting kind, and our team can point you to the quicker options if that is what you want.
Even with fast acting drinks, the same patience rule applies, just on a shorter clock. Wait and see how the first drink lands before reaching for another, because finishing a second can quickly stacks the dose. The faster onset makes drinks feel more controllable to many people, but it is still an edible and still deserves a little patience.
It is worth knowing why this matters for the experience as a whole. A faster, more predictable onset gives you tighter control, because you find out sooner whether the dose was right for you and can decide about a second drink without a long anxious wait. That responsiveness is a big part of what sets a good fast acting beverage apart from a slow edible.
Dosing cannabis drinks
Drinks are dosed just like other edibles, with the THC per serving printed on the label, so you always know what you are sipping. Doses vary widely across products, from light beverages around two and a half to five milligrams that suit beginners and casual social sipping, up to stronger drinks and shots at ten milligrams or more aimed at experienced consumers.
If you are new, start with a low dose drink and treat it like you would any edible, take it slowly and give it time. A nice thing about beverages is that you can sip a low dose one over a while, which naturally paces your intake compared to eating a whole gummy at once. That gradual sipping gives some people a smoother, more controllable ramp up.
For social settings, lower dose drinks really shine because everyone can have one in hand, feel a gentle, sociable lift, and not get knocked sideways. If you want a stronger effect, step up to a higher dose drink or a shot, but as always, know the number on the label and respect how edibles build, especially if a drink is not the fast acting kind.
Keeping a mental note of which drink and how many milligrams felt right for you makes future nights effortless, since beverages are so consistent from one can to the next. Once you know your number, you can reach for the same drink and get the same comfortable result every time.
Why drinks are great for social settings
Cannabis drinks fit social occasions better than almost any other format, and that is a big part of why they have taken off. Holding a can or a glass feels completely natural at a gathering, a barbecue, a games night or a get together, and a cannabis beverage lets you take part in that round without smoking and without the strong, lingering effect of a big edible.
Because many are dosed on the lighter side and some come on faster, drinks let a group share a relaxed, sociable buzz that everyone can feel without anyone being overwhelmed. People can sip at their own pace, top up if they want, and stay comfortably in the zone, which is a much easier group experience than passing around something strong.
They are also a great alcohol alternative for people who want to socialize without drinking. You get something flavourful in your hand and a gentle, relaxing lift, with none of the hangover. For a lot of people this is the whole appeal, a way to unwind in company that feels familiar and easy but skips the booze entirely.
There is also something to be said for how drinks keep a group on an even keel. When everyone has a similar low dose beverage rather than passing around something of unknown strength, the whole gathering tends to stay relaxed and comfortable, with nobody accidentally getting far higher than the rest. That shared, gentle level is exactly what makes a social session fun.
Flavour and the experience
The best cannabis drinks taste like the beverages they are modelled on, a good cannabis soda tastes like soda, an infused iced tea tastes like iced tea, with little to no cannabis flavour getting in the way. Flavour is a big selling point, and the range keeps growing, so there is plenty to explore across fizzy, fruity, tart and cosy styles.
The effect tends to be the classic edible feel, relaxing and full bodied, though many people describe drinks, especially the lighter and faster acting ones, as feeling a touch more clear headed and sociable than a heavy gummy. That makes them a favourite for daytime social use as well as evening relaxation, depending on the dose you choose.
How long it lasts depends on the drink and the dose, but as edibles, beverages generally give a longer experience than smoking. A higher dose drink can keep you going for hours like any edible, while a light social drink gives a gentler, shorter lift. Pick the dose to match how long and how strong you want the experience to be.
The variety on offer also means you can match the drink to the moment, a crisp seltzer on a hot afternoon, a rich iced tea with food, a warm tea before bed. That ability to suit the beverage to the occasion is part of why people who get into cannabis drinks tend to keep a few different styles on hand.
Who cannabis drinks suit
Drinks suit social people more than any other format. If you like the idea of relaxing with friends, holding something familiar, and sharing a gentle group buzz without smoking, beverages are made for exactly that. They are also perfect for anyone looking for an alcohol alternative that fits naturally into a social setting.
They suit people who want a faster onset than other edibles offer, since many drinks are fast acting and come on more quickly than a gummy. If the slow start of typical edibles has frustrated you before, a fast acting beverage is worth a try. They are also great for anyone who simply enjoys a flavourful drink and wants their cannabis to come that way.
Beginners can do well with drinks too, as long as they pick a low dose and sip slowly. The pre measured serving and the natural pacing of sipping make beverages an approachable entry point. Experienced users reach for higher dose drinks and shots when they want a stronger effect in a refreshing, social friendly form.
They are also a friendly option for people who are curious about cannabis but put off by smoking, because a familiar drink feels far less intimidating than a joint or a pipe. Sipping a low dose beverage is about as gentle and approachable a first step as there is.
Cannabis drinks versus alcohol
A huge reason cannabis drinks have grown so popular is as a swap for alcohol. They scratch the same social itch, something flavourful in your hand, a relaxed feeling, a shared round, but without the hangover, the calories of many drinks, or the rougher next day that alcohol can bring. For people cutting back on booze, that is a compelling trade.
The experiences are different, of course. Alcohol and cannabis affect you in distinct ways, so a cannabis drink will not feel exactly like a beer or a cocktail, it gives a cannabis effect rather than a buzz from alcohol. Many people actually prefer that, finding the cannabis feeling more relaxing and easier on the body for a social night.
One important note, do not mix cannabis drinks with alcohol freely, especially while you are still learning your tolerance, because the two can amplify each other and catch you off guard. If you are using a cannabis beverage as an alcohol alternative, the simplest approach is to choose one or the other for the night rather than combining them.
For anyone doing a dry month or simply cutting back, a cannabis beverage can make social situations far easier, since you still have a drink in your hand and still feel relaxed, just without the alcohol. A lot of people find that having a satisfying alternative is what makes drinking less actually stick.
How to store cannabis drinks
Cannabis drinks store much like regular beverages. Keep them somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and many are best served chilled, so the fridge is a fine home for them. Always check the label for any specific storage notes or a best before date, since a beverage is a perishable product in a way that dried flower is not.
As with every cannabis product, keep your drinks stored safely and out of reach of children and pets, and clearly separated from regular drinks in the fridge. Because an infused soda or juice can look just like an ordinary one, it is important that no one in your home could grab it by mistake, so label it clearly or keep it in a dedicated spot.
Once opened, treat a cannabis drink like any opened beverage and finish it within a reasonable time, keeping it sealed and chilled in the meantime. Stored properly and within its date, a cannabis drink stays fresh and tastes its best, which is half the point of choosing a beverage in the first place.
Staying safe with cannabis beverages
The safety basics for drinks are the same as for any edible, just keep in mind whether your drink is fast acting or not. Start with a low dose, sip slowly, and wait to see how it lands before having more. The biggest mistake is treating a cannabis drink like a regular one and downing several quickly, which stacks the dose well past what you intended.
If you do end up higher than you meant to be, it is uncomfortable but not dangerous. Find a calm spot, drink some water, have a snack, and wait it out, because the feeling always passes. Avoid driving or anything that needs your full focus while a beverage is in effect, remembering that a strong drink can keep you impaired for hours like any edible.
Knowing your dose and pacing yourself is what makes cannabis drinks such an easy, enjoyable format. Sip a sensible amount, give it time, and a beverage becomes one of the most relaxed and sociable ways to enjoy cannabis there is.
It also helps to decide your limit before the night starts rather than in the moment, the same way you might with anything. Knowing you are going to have one or two low dose drinks and then switch to water keeps the evening relaxed and means you wake up feeling great the next day.
Pricing, minimum and free over $80
Cannabis drinks are priced by the can, bottle or pack, and buying multipacks or a few units usually brings the per drink cost down, which our menu shows clearly. Because a single low dose beverage is a complete serving, drinks make it easy to buy exactly what you need for a night or a gathering without overcommitting.
Our minimum order is $40, which a few drinks plus another item clears comfortably, or you can pair beverages with flower, edibles or anything else on the menu. Spend over $80 and your delivery is free, so plenty of customers grab an extra pack of drinks to cross that line and skip the delivery fee, which is handy when you are stocking up for company.
We accept cash on delivery or Interac e-Transfer. If you are not sure which drink to pick, whether you want a fast acting one, or what dose suits a social night, message the team and we will steer you to the right beverage and the right strength for the occasion.
Fast acting drinks versus regular edibles
The headline difference between a fast acting cannabis drink and a regular edible like a gummy is timing, and it changes how the whole experience feels. A gummy has to be digested before you feel much, which is why it can take up to two hours and why it catches impatient people out. A fast acting beverage is made so the THC absorbs more quickly, often bringing the effect on in fifteen to thirty minutes, which feels much more responsive.
That quicker, more predictable onset is a big reason people like drinks for social occasions. You are not sitting around wondering when it will hit, you can sip, feel it arrive fairly soon, and then judge whether you want more, all on a shorter and more comfortable timeline. For anyone who has been frustrated by the long wait of typical edibles, this alone makes drinks worth trying.
Not every beverage is fast acting, so the one thing to do is check. If quick onset matters to you, look for products described as fast acting or nano, or just ask us which drinks on the menu come on quickest. A standard infused drink without that processing is still great, it simply behaves on the slower edible timeline, so plan accordingly.
Hot teas and the cosy end of the menu
Not every cannabis drink is about a fizzy can at a party. Hot teas occupy the cosy, calming corner of the menu, and they have a devoted following for good reason. A warm cup of cannabis tea in the evening is soothing in a way a cold drink is not, and many are blended with relaxing herbs alongside the cannabis to lean even further into that wind down feeling.
These suit a quiet night in far more than a social gathering. People reach for a cannabis tea the way they might reach for a regular herbal tea before bed, as a calming ritual that happens to carry a gentle dose. The warmth and the slow sipping make it a relaxed, unhurried experience that pairs nicely with reading or settling in for the evening.
As with any edible, the dose is on the label and the effect builds over time, so sip your tea and give it a chance to land before topping up. A hot cannabis tea is one of the most comforting ways to enjoy a beverage dose, and it shows just how much range the drinks category really has, from lively social sodas to mellow bedtime cups.
Mixing and serving cannabis drinks
Part of the fun of cannabis beverages, especially shots and concentrates, is that you can serve them in ways that suit the occasion. A shot can be knocked back on its own for a quick, precise dose, or stirred into a soft drink, a mocktail or a glass of juice to spread it out into something you sip slowly. That flexibility lets you control both the flavour and the pace of your dose.
If you are hosting, pre measured drinks make serving a group easy and safe, since everyone gets a known dose in their own can or glass rather than sharing something of uncertain strength. It takes the guesswork out of dosing a gathering and keeps everyone comfortable, which is exactly what you want when friends are over.
Whatever you do, keep cannabis beverages clearly separate from any non infused drinks you are serving so there is never a mix up. Label them or keep them in their own spot, especially at a gathering where regular and infused drinks might be side by side. A little care here keeps the night relaxed and trouble free for everyone.

Drinks, frequently asked questions
Q.How fast do cannabis drinks work?
Many are made to be fast acting, using technology that helps your body absorb the THC quickly, so they can come on in as little as fifteen to thirty minutes. Standard infused drinks that are not specially processed behave like other edibles and take thirty minutes to two hours. Check the label, and wait to see how the first one lands before having more.
Q.How much THC is in a cannabis drink?
It varies by product, with the dose printed on the label. Light social drinks are often around two and a half to five milligrams of THC, while stronger drinks and shots can be ten milligrams or more. Beginners should start with a low dose beverage and sip slowly, since drinks are edibles and the effect builds over time.
Q.Are cannabis drinks a good alcohol alternative?
Yes, that is one of their biggest appeals. They give you something flavourful to hold and a relaxed, sociable feeling without the hangover. The effect is a cannabis feeling rather than an alcohol buzz, which many people prefer. Just do not mix the two freely, especially while learning your tolerance, since they can amplify each other.
Q.Can I drink cannabis beverages in a social setting?
