How CBD and THC Drinks Boost Relaxation

CBD and THC are the two most well-known cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant. THC is often associated with uplifting effects and CBD is celebrated for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Combined, these two compounds create a harmonious balance and help deliver a host of therapeutic benefits for those who want to steer clear of alcohol and pharmaceuticals. 

We’re going to take a deep dive into the power of THC and CBD, and why their infusion into canned drinks is transforming how we unwind after a hard day.

What Are THC and CBD Drinks?

Infused beverages are a refreshing and convenient way to experience cannabis. Compared to other methods like edibles, smoking, and vaping, these drinks offer a precise and healthier way to relax and enjoy the uplifting effects of THC and CBD. 

They have many advantages over other consumption methods which helps to increase the accessibility of cannabis products to people who are unfamiliar with them or have been put off using them. 

Precise dosing

THC drinks are made using nanoemulsion technology – a process that breaks down the cannabinoid compounds into smaller particles so they can evenly distribute throughout a liquid. This means every sip you take is a perfectly measured amount of the total THC and CBD content advertised on the can. 

Fast Onset

Unlike edibles, which can vary in onset time and intensity, drinks provide a quicker, more predictable experience. Edibles need to be digested in the body meaning that it can take up to one hour ¹ for the effects to kick in. However, when you use cannabis in a water-based drink, the THC and CBD bypass the digestive system and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This means that effects can be felt in as little as 15 minutes. 

This faster onset time enables easier dosage management. You can feel the effects quickly and decide whether to continue sipping for a more potent experience.

Low calories and low sugar

Another advantage over edibles and gummies is that THC and CBD drinks often contain little to no sugar or calories. This allows more people to integrate them into their diets or as part of their wellness routine. 

Be sure to look out for products that use natural ingredients and flavorings like ours at DELTA. 

Smoke and smell-free

Until recently, cannabis has always been synonymous with smoking. And while many will claim that smoking pure weed is “fine” because it doesn’t have tobacco, current research ² suggests that smoking anything is bad for our lungs. 

Vaping is often seen as the alternative to smoking as it can reduce exposure ³ to harmful toxins and CO2, but vaping THC oil can still damage ⁴ your lung health.

Explaining the Science Behind the Entourage Effect

The potential benefits of CBD and THC lie in what’s known as the "entourage effect," a natural phenomenon where the various compounds in cannabis work together to amplify their individual benefits. The effect is greatest in full-spectrum cannabis products, which include all the natural cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in the plant. Full-spectrum formulations take advantage of this synergy, offering a well-rounded experience that promotes relaxation without overwhelming the senses.

Drinks that contain both cannabinoids showcase the entourage effect. In the right quantity, THC contributes uplifting and mood-enhancing effects ⁵, while CBD plays a regulatory role in moderating the intensity of THC. 

CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system differently. While THC binds directly to the CB1 receptors in the brain, CBD indirectly influences receptors to reduce THC’s binding affinity. This softens the effects of THC and ensures a more balanced experience.

This interplay makes beverages with carefully calibrated CBD and THC ratios—like what you’ll find in DELTA drinks—so effective for relaxation. They provide a controlled, consistent way to unwind, offering the best of both cannabinoids without the risk of feeling overwhelmed. 

How CBD and THC Drinks Promote Relaxation

THC’s interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system can promote relaxation and support mental well-being. By binding to CB1 receptors, THC can help regulate mood and stress responses with an uplifting effect that eases tension and enhances relaxation. This natural connection has made THC a valuable tool for managing anxiety, promoting mindfulness, and encouraging a sense of ease in daily life.

When paired with CBD, the two cannabinoids work harmoniously to create a balanced and calming experience. CBD’s ability to temper THC’s more stimulating effects helps to alleviate any feelings of overwhelm while still providing mood-boosting benefits. Together, they offer a holistic way to support mental health, reduce anxiety, and foster relaxation.

THC-infused beverages amplify this synergy by providing a precise, consistent dose in an approachable, alcohol-free product. They’re an excellent option for those seeking stress relief, unwinding after a long day, or finding calm in social settings without relying on alcoholic drinks.

Tips for Enjoying THC and CBD-Infused Drinks

The key to fully enjoying CBD and THC drinks lies in understanding your ideal dosage. 

For beginners, starting with a low-THC option like DELTA Light is an excellent way to ease into the experience. These drinks offer a gentle introduction to infused beverages, allowing you to explore the effects gradually.

Taking small, measured sips gives your body time to adjust to the cannabinoids, letting you gauge how the drink is working for you. This method ensures a more controlled, balanced experience and makes it easier to determine your comfort zone. 

We suggest you choose the right timing and setting – a quiet evening at home or a tranquil moment outdoors. Match a comfortable atmosphere with a sip-by-sip approach to enhance your relaxing experience.
