Microdosing refers to consuming a very small amount of THC to achieve subtle effects without significant intoxication. A 2025 retail analysis defines microdose drinks as containing 1–2.5 mg of THC per serving, which are ideal for first‑time users and wellness seekers; low‑dose drinks contain 2.5–5 mg of THC, while moderate doses fall between 5–10 mg. Microdose beverages provide gentle relaxation and mood enhancement and are increasingly popular among sober‑curious consumers. Always start with a microdose to understand your tolerance before moving to higher doses. ---
Yes. Cannabinoids can affect how certain medications are metabolised. A consumer advisory recommends consulting your doctor before using THC products because cannabinoids may alter how some prescription drugs work. This is especially important if you take medications that are processed by the liver or have a narrow therapeutic window.
Many brands position their drinks as health‑friendly alternatives. Some THC beverages have less than half the calories of beer or wine and are all‑natural, non‑GMO and gluten‑free. Others contain only 2 grams of sugar and 1.5 calories per serving, touting that they are vegan, gluten‑free, non‑GMO, low‑calorie and free of artificial sweeteners. Ingredient lists vary by brand, so always check the label if you have dietary restrictions.
Many “THC drinks” are formulated with a blend of hemp‑derived cannabinoids rather than pure Delta‑9‑THC. A legal overview notes that most hemp beverages rely on cannabinoids extracted from hemp plants—such as CBD, Delta‑8, Delta‑10 or THCa—and are compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill, which allows hemp derivatives containing less than 0.3 % total THC. Synthetic intoxicating cannabinoids remain federally illegal, so reputable brands use naturally occurring extracts. Always review the certificate of analysis to confirm the cannabinoid content.
No. THC beverages are intended for adults only. A safety guide warns that Delta‑8 edibles should not be given to children, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has cautioned against copycat THC candies that appeal to kids. Because THC can impair cognitive development, all cannabis products should be kept out of reach of minors.
Delta‑9‑THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis and produces the classic marijuana “high.” A consumer guide explains that Delta‑9 binds strongly to CB1 receptors and creates intense psychoactive effects. Delta‑8‑THC is chemically similar but has the double bond in a different location, making it less potent; most Delta‑8 on the market is created by converting hemp‑derived CBD. Users often describe Delta‑8 as calmer with fewer anxiety‑inducing side effects. Other hemp cannabinoids like Delta‑10 or THCa may appear in drinks but have varying potency and legal status; check labels and local laws.
The answer depends on whether the drink contains hemp‑derived THC or cannabis from licensed dispensaries. Verilife notes that cannabis beverages are sold only at state‑licensed dispensaries in states that have legalised THC drinks, and some states still prohibit their sale. Hemp‑derived drinks like LOKI may be purchased online and shipped to states where they are legal; refer to the manufacturer’s website and state laws for availability. Always ensure you are 21 or older and comply with local regulations.
Dosage varies widely by brand. Verilife explains that some seltzers contain 2 mg of THC with 4 mg of CBD, while others offer 5 mg of THC with no CBD, and certain products can reach 100 mg of THC per beverage. Always read the label and choose a dose that fits your experience level. First‑time users should stick to microdoses of 2–2.5 mg, while experienced consumers may opt for 5 mg or more.
Cannabis‐infused drinks are gaining momentum because they offer a fun, social alternative to alcohol. A Verilife guide notes that many enthusiasts enjoy the unique flavors, balanced effects and social friendliness of THC seltzers; the drinks are often low in calories, making them a strong competitor to hard seltzers. A legal analysis points out that consumers love hemp‑derived intoxicating cannabinoid beverages because they are intoxicating yet precisely dosed, widely available online, and can often be shipped across state lines. Variety in flavor and cannabinoid profiles further contributes to their popularity.
No. Cannabis beverages are non‑alcoholic. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau does not allow cannabis‑infused drinks to contain alcohol. They are formulated with cannabinoids and other natural ingredients but deliver their buzz from THC and/or CBD rather than ethanol.
Lab results, or Certificates of Analysis , are available on LOKI’s website for each product batch. These reports verify cannabinoid potency and ensure that products are free of heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents and microbes.
You should never travel internationally with THC products. Even small amounts of hemp‑derived THC may violate the laws of other countries and result in legal consequences. Always leave THC products at home when travelling abroad.
LOKI seltzers are shelf‑stable but taste best when chilled. Refrigerate them before drinking and store opened cans in the refrigerator, consuming within a few days.
Not at all. LOKI seltzers have been formulated through extensive research and development to deliver exotic, unique flavor profiles without any “weed” taste. Each beverage is crafted with natural fruit and botanical flavors so you enjoy a clean, refreshing drink with no herbal aftertaste.
Because they are non‑alcoholic, THC drinks do not cause a traditional hangover. High doses, however, may leave you feeling tired or foggy the next day. Staying hydrated and starting with a low dose can minimize this.
High‑quality THC seltzers taste like fruit‑forward sparkling water without a weed flavor. Many drinks are offered in flavors such as citrus, tea or berry and have only a faint herbal aftertaste, if any, far milder than smoking.
THC beverages contain preservatives that keep them shelf‑stable for up to a year. They may gradually lose potency, carbonation or flavor after the best‑by date. Proper storage in sealed containers and refrigeration after opening help maintain freshness.
Most people find the effects of hemp‑derived THC drinks to be gentle and enjoyable. As with any intoxicating product, some people may experience mild side effects like a temporary increase in heart rate, dry mouth or a touch of drowsiness. Less commonly, you might feel slight nausea or anxiety if you consume too much too quickly. Starting with a low dose, sipping slowly and staying hydrated helps ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience.
Most THC drinks are shelf‑stable for around 12 months if stored properly. They usually have a best‑by date indicating when potency may start to decline. Store beverages in a cool, dark place and avoid excessive heat or oxygen exposure, which can degrade THC potency and flavor. Once opened, reseal and refrigerate the drink and consume it within a few days for optimal taste and effect.
Absolutely not. THC impairs reaction time and judgment. Experts recommend waiting at least eight hours after consuming a THC beverage before driving or operating machinery. Arrange alternate transportation if you plan to drink THC beverages.
In states where cannabis is legal for medical use only, a prescription may be required to purchase THC drinks. In states with legal adult‑use cannabis and hemp‑derived products, a prescription is not needed but purchasers must be 21 or older. Always follow state laws.
No. Health experts advise avoiding THC while pregnant or breastfeeding. Some sources recommend staying away from hemp beverages during pregnancy or nursing and advise consulting your doctor.
Travel within a state that allows hemp‑derived products is generally permitted, but air travel with any THC is not allowed. Even hemp drinks can violate Transportation Security Administration rules. Check your destination’s laws and avoid crossing state lines with THC products.
Hemp and marijuana are varieties of Cannabis sativa. Hemp is defined by law as cannabis containing no more than 0.3 % delta‑9‑THC. Hemp‑derived THC products meet this threshold and are federally legal. Marijuana‑derived products often contain higher THC concentrations and are subject to state cannabis regulations.
Combining THC beverages with alcohol or other intoxicants can intensify both substances unpredictably, increasing the risk of nausea, anxiety or impaired judgment. For safety, enjoy one product at a time and stay hydrated with water between drinks.
Always start low and go slow. Sip your drink over at least 15 minutes rather than chugging it. Wait 30–45 minutes before considering another can. Never mix THC drinks with alcohol, and do not drive or operate heavy machinery until at least eight hours after consumption. Avoid THC beverages if you are pregnant, nursing or taking medications without consulting a doctor.
Smoking delivers THC directly to the bloodstream via the lungs and produces near‑instant effects that dissipate quickly. THC drinks have a slower onset but provide a more controlled and predictable experience, with effects that can last several hours. Unlike smoking, beverages contain no combustion by‑products and are discreet to consume. Vaping falls somewhere between smoking and drinking in onset and duration.
Both are consumed orally, but beverages are absorbed faster because the THC is dispersed in water, leading to a quicker onset . Edibles, such as gummies or baked goods, must be digested and metabolised by the liver, resulting in slower onset and longer‑lasting effects .
While THC has some addictive potential, most people do not develop dependence when consuming low‑dose hemp drinks in moderation. As with any psychoactive substance, frequent heavy use can lead to tolerance and dependence; responsible consumption is recommended.
Hemp drinks contain no alcohol, so they don’t produce an alcohol hangover. However, consuming high doses of THC can lead to next‑day fatigue or grogginess. Start low and hydrate to minimize any lingering effects.
Yes. THC beverages contain delta‑9‑THC, which metabolizes into compounds that drug tests can detect. Even low doses can result in a positive test, so avoid THC drinks if you are subject to testing.
Metabolism, body fat, hydration and whether you’ve eaten can affect how quickly THC takes effect. Those with faster metabolisms and lower body fat often feel the buzz sooner. Drinking on an empty stomach can lead to a faster onset, while consuming food may slow absorption.
Delta‑9‑THC interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system. This can influence mood, perception and physical sensations. Some people experience relaxation, euphoria or heightened sensory awareness, while others may feel energized or introspective. At higher doses, side effects can include increased heart rate, sedation, impaired judgment and anxiety.
Effects usually last 2–6 hours depending on dose, metabolism and tolerance. Lighter formulations like LOKI tend to fade after 1–2 hours. Full effects peak around 1–2 hours and decline gradually.
Onset depends on metabolism and stomach contents. Water‑soluble THC drinks typically begin working within 15–30 minutes, though it may take up to 2 hours in some people. Drinking slowly and on a light stomach often yields faster effects.
THC metabolites can be detectable long after the buzz wears off. For occasional users, a single 5 mg dose may be detectable in urine for 3–7 days, blood for 1–2 days, saliva for 1–3 days, and hair for up to 90 days. Frequent users may test positive for much longer. Detection windows vary by test type and individual metabolism.
Hemp‑derived THC beverages deliver a light, social buzz rather than the intense high associated with high‑dose edibles. Many users report relaxation, mood elevation, clearer thoughts and sociability. Because LOKI contains a small dose of THC , the effects are mild and comparable to a low‑alcohol beverage. At higher doses, THC beverages can produce stronger psychoactive effects.
THC drinks are measured in milligrams of THC per serving. LOKI recommends starting low: half a can or one full can if you are experienced. Wait 15–45 minutes to assess the effects before consuming more. Because tolerance varies, some users feel effects from one can, while others may require two or more. Do not exceed your comfort level.
These beverages infuse cannabinoids into a water‑soluble nano‑emulsion. The THC droplets are dispersed evenly throughout the drink, enhancing bioavailability and allowing for faster absorption compared with traditional edibles. Hemp beverages are absorbed through the digestive system, so onset is slower than smoking but quicker than typical edibles. Nano‑emulsification keeps the cannabinoids suspended in the liquid, preventing separation and ensuring a consistent dose.
Standard shipping within the continental U.S. generally arrives within 5 business days. East Coast deliveries often arrive in 3 days and West Coast deliveries in 3‑5 days. Priority shipping reduces delivery time to 1–3 business days. Times may vary by carrier and location.
After placing an order, LOKI sends a confirmation email with a tracking number. Use this number to follow your shipment’s progress.
Interested retailers can fill out LOKI’s wholesale request form to begin carrying THC seltzers. A representative will contact you to discuss volume, pricing and compliance requirements.
LOKI is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Manufacturing takes place at partner facilities that adhere to good manufacturing practices. The company oversees operations, marketing and distribution from its New York headquarters.
LOKI products use hemp‑derived delta‑9‑THC, the same psychoactive cannabinoid found in marijuana. Each can contains a low dose that remains under the 0.3 % THC limit. CBD and other minor cannabinoids may also be present in some formulations.
Yes. You can find LOKI products in select retail locations. Use LOKI’s store locator on the company’s website to find a retailer near you.
Cannabis laws in the United States are a combination of federal and state regulations. Federal law permits hemp‑derived products under the Farm Bill, whereas cannabis products with more than 0.3 % THC are treated as marijuana and remain federally illegal. States regulate whether hemp‑derived THC products can be sold locally and whether a medical card is required. Check your state’s cannabis laws before purchasing or consuming cannabis drinks.
Safety is a priority for LOKI. The company uses third‑party lab testing to verify potency and purity and provides a certificate of analysis for every batch. LOKI sources its hemp from U.S. farmers and formulates its beverages with water‑soluble nanoemulsions for consistent dosing. Consumers should still adhere to safe‑consumption guidelines and consult a doctor if pregnant, nursing or taking medications.
LOKI’s hemp is sourced from multiple U.S. farmers. Cannabinoids are extracted from the hemp plant and then formulated into beverages through a nano‑emulsion process to ensure rapid onset and consistent dosing.
Hemp beverages are governed by the 2018 Farm Bill, which allows products derived from cannabis plants that contain no more than 0.3 % delta‑9‑THC by dry weight. Under this law, hemp‑derived THC drinks are federally legal, but state regulations vary. Many states treat hemp beverages like alcohol, while others prohibit them. Always check local laws or use an interactive legality map before ordering or travelling with hemp beverages. LOKI seltzers comply with the Farm Bill and contain no more than 0.3 % delta‑9‑THC per can.
Yes. LOKI uses hemp‑derived delta‑9‑THC, contains less than 0.3 % THC by weight, and is therefore federally compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill. However, you must be 21 years of age or older to purchase, and local state laws may impose additional restrictions.
Hemp‑derived beverages are legal in most U.S. states but remain restricted in some jurisdictions. LOKI currently ships to everywhere in the continental United States. Because state laws vary, hemp drinks cannot be shipped to states that prohibit hemp‑derived THC, and they should never be taken across state lines by air, since federal aviation rules generally forbid flying with THC products.
