Juice-based drinks, mocktails, flavored seltzers, and kombuchas. When it comes to consuming cannabis drinks, consumers who are new to beverages infused with cannabinoids such as CBD and THC often think about what amount of milligram dose is best for them. It is known that individuals who consume higher doses of cannabis choose to drink beverages that have cannabis ranging from 30 to 50 mg.

Consuming drinks with CBD helps in treating medical health conditions such as pain, inflammation, and anxiety. Every individual’s body responds differently. CBD has non-psychoactive factors that won’t get you high like you will get with THC. Choosing the proper dosage for THC-infused products is essential in terms of its short-term effects.

Edibles vs. Drinks: Dosing Differences

Consumers introduced to infused beverages might wonder if they are stronger than edibles. It depends on how the body processes the cannabinoids. Usually, it takes 45 to 90 minutes to process an oil-based edible due to how the digestive system breaks down the food product. It also depends on how the cannabinoid is absorbed into the bloodstream. Beverage infused with water-soluble formulation typically has its effect within 8 to 15 minutes because, in a drink, the cannabinoids are absorbed first through the mouth and under the tongue. While consuming, one should know their consumption time and after how long it starts affecting your body.

Choosing the Right Dosage for You

It would help if you trusted certain factors when choosing the proper dosage.

Start low and go slow:

For any new consumer, starting with a low-dose beverage is the best option. Low dose means 2 to 4 mg THC per 8 to 12 fluid ounces. Drink it slowly. Choose drinks with low THC and high CBD for better results. You can choose from the delicious flavors available at the store. After half the drink, relax for a few minutes and feel the energy. After this, you can decide whether to finish the beverage or save it for later. You can always drink more, but you can choose to drink less. Enjoy the process slowly and notice how your body reacts to the cannabinoids.

Guidelines for Occasional Consumers:

Make it easy for you to consume cannabis drinks on a semi-regular basis by splitting the higher dose beverage into smaller doses. It would be a suitable option, depending on your tolerance. Every 5 to 10 mg of cannabis in a beverage is considered as a single serving. Try half of the drink, experience the change, and decide whether to finish it.

Know your limits:

If you are a veteran consumer of cannabis with a high dosage, it is better to set boundaries. Choose drinks with cannabis-infused in them and take them slowly to avoid any harsh results on your body. Consuming high-dosage drinks can cause several side effects on your overall health. A beverage with 100 mg of THC in different flavors is suitable for your consumption.

For a few years, high-dose beverages have become popular. Consumers have possibly been influenced by the rising cost of products during the recession. However, irrespective of the dose of beverage you consume, make sure to try it for the first time and take it slow. Don’t gulp it down. You can start with half or a smaller portion of a shot. Give it time and drink in intervals over some time. If you feel uncomfortable while consuming any dosage drink, you must stop right there and avoid drinking more.

It is advisable to read the label properly and identify how many milligrams are present in each serving. When trying the product for the first time, take it slow and observe how you feel after consumption. Safe consumption of cannabis drinks can lead to a pleasing experience.
