Hemp Beverages, Explained

Hemp drinks and seltzers are canned beverages infused with hemp-derived cannabinoids, usually Delta-9 THC measured in milligrams per can. They drink like a seltzer, but the effects arrive more like an edible, so the label and a little patience both matter.

What hemp beverages are

Hemp beverages are canned drinks and seltzers infused with hemp-derived cannabinoids, most often Delta-9 THC. Like everything we carry, they come from hemp that tests under the federal 0.3% Delta-9 THC limit by dry weight and is third-party lab tested, with a COA on every product. They are for adults 21+ with a valid government-issued photo ID.

You will usually find them alongside our other hemp edibles, because a drink moves through your body the same way food does. The format is the main difference: instead of a gummy, the cannabinoids are mixed into a flavored, often carbonated drink.

Effects come on like an edible

A hemp drink is swallowed, so it works its way through digestion before you notice much. That means the onset is slower than smoking or vaping and closer to an edible. Expect a gradual build rather than an instant effect, and know that it can keep building for a while after the first sips.

The practical takeaway is simple: give it time. Finish one can, wait, and see where you land before opening another. For more on how swallowed hemp behaves, see our guide to hemp Delta-9 gummies, which travel the same path.

Read the milligrams per can

The number that matters most is the milligrams of THC per can, printed on the label. Cans vary widely, so two drinks that look alike can differ a lot in strength. A few things worth checking before you buy:

• Milligrams per can, and whether the can is meant to be one serving or more than one.
• The COA, which confirms the cannabinoid amounts and that the product is under the legal Delta-9 limit.
• Your own experience. If you are new to hemp drinks, it is reasonable to start with a lower-milligram option.

One note on the law: these are federally compliant hemp products, but rules vary and can change by state, so what is available can differ by location. Ready to look? Browse the full menu or ask our Schererville team in person.

Frequently asked questions

What are hemp beverages?

They are canned drinks and seltzers infused with hemp-derived cannabinoids, most often Delta-9 THC listed in milligrams per can. They come from hemp that tests under 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight, are third-party lab tested, and are for adults 21+.

How long does a hemp drink take to kick in?

Because you swallow it, a hemp beverage works through digestion first, so the onset is slower than smoking or vaping and closer to an edible. Plan to give it time and wait before opening another can.

How much THC is in a hemp seltzer?

It varies by product, which is why the milligrams per can are printed on the label. Check that number and the COA before you buy, and if you are new to hemp drinks, start with a lower-milligram option.

Will a hemp beverage make me feel high or fail a drug test?

These drinks contain real hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, so how much you feel depends on the milligrams in the can. Because they contain actual THC, they can also show up on a drug test, so avoid them if you are tested. Rules vary and can change by state.
