The Untappd Guide to THC Drinks

Social drinking is evolving, and THC drinks are leading the charge, supplementing and replacing alcoholic beverages in many consumers’ lives. 

Recognizing that beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder, Untappd has welcomed this shift, expanding its beverage categories to include THC drinks.

At Untappd, we know that great experiences come not just from what you sip, but how you share those sips with friends. THC-infused beverages are as social, flavorful, and community-driven as your favorite craft beer.

In this guide, we’ll explore what THC drinks are, how they fit into today’s social scene, and how you can start tracking and sharing your favorite cannabis beverage experiences right here on Untappd.

🍹 What Are THC Drinks?

THC drinks are beverages infused with Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary intoxicating compound in cannabis, which provides relaxing and uplifting effects. From seltzers to sodas to waters, these drinks offer an alternative to alcohol that’s flavorful, often low in calories, and hangover-free. 

THC drinks have a fast onset time, similar to alcohol’s, with effects hitting in about 15 minutes. You can choose your drink’s potency based on your experience level, with 5 mg THC drinks for beginners and 50 mg THC drinks available for advanced users. 

Hemp-derived THC drinks are federally legal, so they can be shipped nationwide or found locally in grocery stores, liquor stores, restaurants, music venues, and more.

🧠 Safety & Consumption Tips

Just like alcoholic beverages, THC drinks deliver effects that vary by person and dose. Here are a few best practices:

• Start low, go slow: Especially if you’re new to cannabis beverages, begin with a low dose and give it time to take effect before consuming more.
• Know your local laws: Cannabis regulations can vary, so always make sure you’re compliant.
• Plan ahead: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after consuming a THC drink.
