Times are changing. Social media in 2024 is full of adverts for micro-dosing and switching out your coffee for mushroom powder in the mornings. It is a sign of changing ideas to wellness and a better way of living.

But what about the benefits of THC? Research supports the benefits of medical marijuana for chronic conditions such as reducing nausea, alleviating pain, and calming muscle spasms. And with recent changes in cannabis legislation making it legal to purchase high-quality hemp-derived products, can it be a benefit to a daily wellness routine?

A Solution to Not Wanting to Smoke

Think back to days gone by when hippies would smoke weed and hail its benefits to a public that had their eyes closed to the benefits of weed. Fast forward to 2024, and we have encapsulated all of the benefits of a joint but without the smoke or social stigmas!

Let’s face it, as much as smoking weed is “all-natural,” smoking itself is pretty terrible for our bodies, so it’s hard to think of it as part of a wellness routine. But, on its own, is weed good for you?

THC drinks offer a variety of cannabis benefits without the harmful effects of smoking. Ours at Drink Delta are made using all-natural plant-based ingredients with zero sugar and zero calories.

The Potential Health Benefits of Cannabis

A surge in research studies and changes to legislation have removed the barriers around cannabis and allowed more people to discover how it can help them with daily struggles.

A wealth of research1 supports how medical marijuana benefits people suffering from three main chronic conditions.

  1. Cannabis reduces sensations of nausea and is used by people undergoing cancer chemotherapy treatment.
  2. For people with nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis, cannabis reduces the perception of pain making the conditions more bearable.
  3. Cannabis helps to calm muscle spasms, particularly for people with multiple sclerosis.

For us at Drink Delta, we would be blown away to discover that anybody suffering from these conditions is turning to THC drinks because historically they may have defaulted to the widely documented benefits of smoking weed. But with the dangers we know about smoking, there is a better way.

THC water is consumed more “recreationally” than to treat severe health issues. Our customer feedback is a huge insight into the stories of why people recreationally use cannabis. It seems it can help alleviate symptoms in people with less severe ailments.

These include trouble sleeping, mental health issues and anxiety attacks, dietary disorders, chronic pain, and neurodivergent conditions.

Two things we are sure of are:

Blood Orange Cannabis Water with THC Indica helps our customers unwind at the end of the day or fall asleep more easily.

For people who are more in tune with THC Sativa, Passion Fruit Cannabis Water is also a great way to unwind and relax the mind after a long day.

Our Delta Light drinks have the ideal dose of THC making them suitable for microdosing throughout the day and for social occasions. This is particularly helpful for those who struggle with social anxiety or in pain caused by an injury.

Integrating THC Water into a Wellness Regimen

The best way to integrate THC drinks into a wellness regimen is by taking the microdose approach. This involves taking small but regular doses throughout the day to help manage physical or mental struggles.

But unless you’re clued in, you might be wondering what does THC do? You’ll be amazed to learn the science behind how THC affects the body.

Cannabis water lends itself very well to microdosing because each sip contains a measured dose that varies based on the can's strength.

How and when you choose to take a sip is up to you, but here are three suggestions.

Use Cannabis to Boost Your Workout

For anybody working full-time and trying to work out, it is usually hard to find the motivation to exercise after a long workday.

It turns out that there is a whole subculture of athletes who get high to work out better. Why? Because cannabis can help reduce pain perception and it gives you a sense of euphoria making even the most grueling workouts fun.

Products rich in cannabis sativa, like our Drink Delta Passion Fruit, sit at the energetic side of the THC spectrum and can be great for giving you a rush of enthusiasm.

Fall Asleep Faster with Cannabis Water

Anybody who wants to improve their daily function is obsessed with sleep. And for good reason! Sleep is now known to be the most important part of your day and it’s backed by extensive research2. For many people though, unwinding after a busy day is the hardest part. Our clients regularly let us know how cannabis water helps them fall asleep so it could be worth trying for yourself.

Choose Cannabis Water Instead of Alcohol

“Wellness” is synonymous with an alcohol-free lifestyle but you may find yourself longing for something to take the edge off. Cannabis water is an accessible and convenient alternative to alcohol which you can drink socially or in the comfort of your own home.

If you’re the real sociable type, you might want to opt for a less potent THC drink so that you can drink more than one. We would suggest a lighter seltzer like Delta Light.

Calm Anxiety with Cannabis

The stresses of modern-day life have led many of us to experience mental struggles and elevated anxiety levels daily. For some, this can be crippling and stifling to productivity leading to a downward spiral.

In recent years cannabis has become much better understood and with correct dosing it presents a lot of potential in helping people with mental health issues and anxiety disorders.

Discover How THC Benefits Your Daily Life

If you want to try and add cannabis water to your wellness routine, we suggest starting with a small quantity and seeing how you go – sip by sip.

What is Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9 THC is the chemical in cannabis plants that makes it so much fun. It’s the reason we have cultural icons like The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, or Pineapple Express, and why you get the munchies. Every one of our seltzers is infused with the perfect dose of THC, so whether you want to elevate your night out or park it on the couch with a pizza for 8 hours, There’s a Delta for That.™

How is this Legal?

Full transparency? We found a loophole. In 2018, Congress passed the Farm Bill. This legalized hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. By carefully crafting our seltzers and ensuring every can is precisely dosed, we adhere to these guidelines.

Will this show up on a drug test?

Yes. No way around it. While our products are 100% legal, culture is still catching up. Most commercial and over-the-counter drug tests still test for THC. So, enjoy with caution and ensure you’re partaking with any future drug tests in mind. If your job, sports team, or that one really strict relative requires you to pass a THC screening, you might want to save Delta for your retirement party.

How much should I drink to start?

Canna-curious? Welcome. Our products are totally safe, but as with any psychoactive drink, there’s no harm in being cautious. For first-time users, we recommend starting with slow sips at our 5mg level. Gauge your tolerance every 10 minutes and drink until you’re comfortable. When it comes to Delta, be the tortoise, not the hare.

Delta Drinks vs. edibles – how do they compare?

It’s not a competition. But if it were, we would win in every category. More consistent dose. Quicker onset. A more curated experience. Have you ever eaten half a gummy before a movie only for it to hit you in the last 15 minutes so hard you’re drooling by the time the credits roll (yes, speaking from experience here)? Well, with our consistent, fast-hitting doses, you’ll feel the effects 10-15 minutes from your first sip, so you’re always in control.

What does it taste like?

While our products break the mold, we ran out of creative juices when naming them. So, if you want to know what they taste like, just read the label. Crisp. Refreshing. And whatever flavor note it says on the can. Plain and simple.

What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?

Hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants, just with different THC concentrations. Legally, hemp contains 0.3% or less THC by dry weight, while marijuana contains more. We focus on premium hemp-derived THC that delivers a reliable, controlled experience while meeting regulatory standards.

How can I trust this?

We were founded on not blowing smoke. So, every seltzer undergoes multiple rounds of testing at certified labs, ensuring they are precisely dosed at 5, 10, or 20mg, every time. All our Certificates of Analysis are readily available on our website here.
