Is Cannabis Water Right for You?
Despite all of the changes in cannabis legislation, many people still experience barriers to trying it. This makes it harder to discover whether the many potential benefits of THC could help them.
In the past, a lot of people have been turned off from using cannabis because they dislike smoking or don’t want to risk getting too high with an edible. Plus, many states still enforce heavy penalties for possessing and consuming marijuana, and in those where it is legalized, the cost of dispensary green is beyond what many can afford.
Cue the introduction of THC-infused drinks and DELTA cannabis water to the scene! The perfect alternative for people who don’t want to smoke weed or are looking for an exciting alternative to alcohol.
What is Delta 9 Cannabis Water?
The sudden popularity of hemp-infused drinks was born out of the 2018 Farm Bill. This removed hemp (cannabis with less than 0.3g THC) from the Controlled Substances Act making it federally legal and hemp products widely available.
“Cannabis water” or delta-9 THC-infused drinks are more socially acceptable because they simply involve drinking a (delicious) beverage and can be incorporated into any social scenario. No more social stigma or sneaking around anymore.
Just be prepared to share it because there’s always at least one curious person in the group!
What’s the Difference Between Indica and Sativa?
THC comes in two main types: Indica is known for its relaxing effects (indica = “in da couch”), and sativa is more uplifting and energetic. It all comes down to how you want to feel at various times of the day or doing different activities.
Imagine you need to fit in a gym session after a long day at work and lack motivation. You can try using cannabis sativa to boost your workout.
Perhaps you struggle to calm your mind at night and have trouble sleeping. Many people use cannabis indica as a sleep aid or just to unwind after a long day.
That said, you don’t always need to choose between one or the other. Some THC drinks contain a specific blend of indica, sativa, and CBD—like our Drink Delta Pink Lemonade and Blueberry Acai—which create a balanced buzz suitable for any occasion.
What Ratio of THC to CBD Is Best?
Cannabis is mainly associated with THC but it also naturally contains a level of CBD that is inversely related to THC. Their synergistic relationship is called the entourage effect.
To put it simply, CBD helps to moderate your body’s intake of THC and create a more balanced high sensation which can enhance the therapeutic effects of both compounds. This means that consumers can get the stress and anxiety-reducing benefits without going beyond their comfortable level of high.
At Drink Delta, we have different types of cannabis water: The sativa-rich Passion Fruit and the soothing indica Blood Orange. Our Pink Lemonade & Blueberry Acai are a hybrid blend that balances between sativa and indica.
Passion Fruit DELTA Cannabis Water is specially formulated with cannabis sativa to give you a kick of energy with a sensation of euphoria. Think of it as a potential way to enhance your productivity during the day. It is more for the experienced cannabis user and it contains 20mg of THC and only 2mg of CBD in the can.
Blood Orange Delta Cannabis Water is designed for unwinding so we chose cannabis indica for supreme relaxation. Again for the more seasoned pro, it contains 20mg of THC and 10mg of CBD for the perfect balance, especially for falling asleep.
Both are meant to be a single-sitting beverage—something you would enjoy over an hour or two, or sip slowly throughout the day if you wanted.
We also have another range of more subtle and social THC drinks called DELTA Light. These are designed for more social occasions with the idea that you can drink more than one over time. (Similar to how you would drink beer) We have optimized the levels of THC to 5mg and CBD to 1mg so you can enjoy them casually while out with friends and find your perfect buzz.
Our DELTA Light drinks can be considered cannabis and CBD water because the potency is low and the ratios are more balanced. It makes them an easier starting point for anybody curious about cannabis but unsure of how it will hit.
Where Can I Learn More About DELTA Cannabis Water?
As you might expect, there is a whole load of information online about cannabis water. Some of it is sensationalist, some is just aimed at selling products, and some sources (like the Drink Delta blog) aim to educate as well as discuss the potential health benefits of delta THC drinks.
We always back up claims with scientific research wherever appropriate to ensure our readers get all of the facts.
Choosing The Best THC Beverages For You
If you are new to THC and CBD-infused drinks, we suggest starting with a lower-strength product with 5mg THC. That could be a can of DELTA Light or sipping something stronger like the Blood Orange Cannabis Water. At 20mg, a single can is aimed more at the experienced user, but you can start by drinking up to half a can and leaving the rest in the fridge for another time.
Each can of cannabis infused water contains the total dose stated on the packaging. So if it says 5mg, that is 5mg for the entire can. Each sip you take is a fraction of that. This helps you carefully manage your dose to get the most out of your high. Just remember, start slow and go one sip at a time until you start feeling the desired effects.
It is also suitable for micro-dosing throughout the day if you need help managing your mental health.

Happy drinking!
