What Are THC Drinks & How They Work

Tired of hangovers and pretending to like IPAs? You should try THC drinks - the chilled-out cousin of booze that won’t ghost you the next morning. More and more, these cannabis-infused beverages are a top choice for anyone who wants the buzz without the booze.

You might have heard or seen that this trend is big at parties, in dispensaries, or on the web. But what are they, how do they work, and why does everyone like them?

This guide has all you need to know. Plus, meet Little Rick, one of the leading cannabis beverage brands that promises great flavors and controlled effects.

What Are THC Drinks?

THC drinks, or cannabis-infused beverages, are a new way to consume THC. THC is what makes you feel "high" from weed. These drinks have THC in them. Some also have CBD, based on the brand. They can be seltzers, sodas, and teas.

Little Rick offers THC-infused drinks with two strength options:

• 5mg THC / 10mg CBD – A mild, balanced dose for a relaxed, social buzz (like having a beer).
• 25mg THC / 25mg CBD – A stronger option for a more pronounced high.

But what really set Little Rick apart are the taste and flavors:

• Raspberry Coconut – Raspberry cream soda inspired.

• Mint Lime – A refreshing mojito-style drink.

• Piña – Pina colada inspired, pineapple coconut flavored.

• Raspberry Lemonade - Raspberry daiquiri inspired.

THC vs. CBD

Think of them as the extroverts and introverts of the cannabis world. THC is the wild one that gives you that euphoric "high". CBD, on the other hand, is calm and at ease. It reduces anxiety and helps you relax.

• Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC): The party-starter. It interacts with receptors in the brain, creating a euphoric feeling. Energy and social vibes.
• Cannabidiol (CBD): The chill one. It’s non-psychoactive and helps you relax and focus.

Both compounds come from the cannabis plant, but their source varies. Hemp-derived THC (like what Little Rick uses) contains legally low levels of THC (<0.3% by weight) to comply with U.S. federal laws.

How Do Cannabis Drinks Work?

This is where things get cool - and just a bit science-y.

We use the full-spectrum cannabis extract in our drinks. That means all the compounds extracted from the cannabis plant, including THC, CBD, CBN, CBC, CBG...

This way:

• You get the entourage effect. All the THC compounds work together to create a more well-rounded and powerful experience. You get much controlled high.
• You are more chill, cheeky, creative, dreamy, and with a mood lift— all in one smooth sip. Whether you’re chatting at a party or melting into your couch, it delivers.
• The effects come on smoother and steadier—no surprise roller coaster rides here. Plus, you don't have to worry about measuring a precise dose.

We use the naturally extracted Delta-9 THC from hemp plants to create our Little Rick drinks. Not like those synthetic cannabinoids that give you a bad high and terrible comedown.

How Are Cannabis-Infused Drinks Made (Little Rick’s Formula)

The magic behind cannabis drinks lies in their infusion process. It starts with extracting THC from hemp or marijuana plants. With our drinks, the Delta-9 THC is hemp-derived to ensure legality (under 0.3% THC by weight).

This THC extract is then combined with other ingredients, such as water, natural fruit flavors and natural sweeteners. Our formula is carefully crafted to balance the effects of THC with other calming ingredients like CBD and terpenes.

Here’s why Little Rick stands out:

• Full-Spectrum Cannabinoids: THC and CBD combined in a natural chemical ratio.
• Taurine: For added energy and mood regulation, taurine evens out the buzz.
• Real Fruit Juice: The best THC drink flavors, Mint and lime or raspberry lemonade, don’t taste like cannabis. They taste like soda - with a twist.
• Carefully Dosed Strengths: Choose from 5mg THC for lighter buzzes or 25mg THC for stronger effects.

Little Rick is your go-to choice for a flavorful buzz without the drama. One sip in and it’s like, “Ahh… that’s the good stuff.” Taste? Premium. Vibes? Immaculate.

Cannabis Drinks vs. Alcohol Edibles

THC Drinks vs. Alcohol

THC drinks are the perfect alcohol alternative. Little Rick THC seltzers and sodas offer the same social vibe without the headache, bloat, or next-day regret. Packed with flavor and low on calories, they’re perfect for reducing your alcohol intake without sacrificing the fun or relaxation of a night out.

THC Drinks vs. Edibles

Edibles are unpredictable. Dosing is tricky, and waiting for effects can take forever. As Dr. Gruber from the psychiatry at Harvard Medical School states, THC beverages solve this. They’re faster, easier to control, and refreshing, like a summer soda. Plus, drinking THC doesn’t make you feel like a space cadet or leave you with the tell-tale smell of cannabis on your breath.

Benefits of Drinking THC Drinks

Why should you give THC drinks a shot, especially Little Rick’s?

• Feel relaxed within 10 minutes, not hours
• Know exactly what to expect with premeasured doses
• Get the euphoria without the anxiety
• No hangovers or lingering effects the next day
• Low calories and sugar compared to traditional edibles
• No risk of lung damage from smoking
• Easy to consume on the go
• Tasty

Little Rick is honest and upfront; what you see is what you get. No fuss, no stress about overdoing it.

Just a reliable, feel-good companion that knows how to make you relax.

Are THC Drinks Legal Safe?

Are They Legal?

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, THC drinks are legal in the U.S., but only if they’re hemp-derived and contain less than 0.3% THC by weight. Little Rick complies fully with these regulations. However, state laws vary:

• Fully Legal: California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New York…
• Hemp-Only: Texas, Florida…
• Restricted/Illegal: Idaho, Kansas, South Dakota…

Always check your state laws before purchasing.

Are They Safe?

For most people, yes. But this depends on how you use it. The first thing on your mind is probably, "How many THC drinks can I have?" Stick to the golden rule - start low, go slow. Our 5mg can is a great starting point.

Some general safety tips:

• Avoid mixing hemp-derived THC drinks with alcohol
• Don't drink more than two cans
• Don’t use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing heart/lung issues
• Don't use if you have problems with liver or kidneys
• Consult your doctor if you are on any medication
• Keep cans away from kids (even if the labels look fun)
