Is there anything more refreshing than a cold beverage during a hot summer afternoon? Happy hours and barbeques are a common summer theme during longer days and warmer evenings. Iced lemonade, slushy margaritas, and foaming beers from local breweries somehow taste even better this time of year.
But we think another beverage should make the list – cannabis-infused drinks. We can’t get enough of them here at our North Portland cannabis dispensary, Greeley Gallery. Currently, cannabis drinks are our absolute must-have for the summer. Let us tell you why!
Cannabis Infused Drinks Are Delicious
Whether you want a THC-infused lemonade after completing some yard work, a bubbly seltzer on the beach, or a juice after your run in Forest Park, Greeley Gallery has what you need. Some drinks are infused with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to provide the high weed is known for. However, we should note that some THC beverages contain higher levels, and you may not need to consume the entire drink to experience its effects. So, we recommend consuming them slowly to gauge the proper dosage for you.
To enjoy added health benefits without feeling high, there are thirst-quenching options infused with cannabidiol (CBD) to choose from. Either way, you really can’t go wrong. Weed-infused beverages are a great addition to any summer activity. Like edibles, cannabis beverages are a delicious way to enjoy the benefits cannabis has to offer.
[Delete?] Overcome Your Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO)
Drinking alcohol is a natural and easy social function for people over the age of 21. Holding a glass gives us something to do with our hands, and sips fill natural pauses in conversations. After all, it’s the entire premise of meeting for happy hour. But if you don’t drink alcohol, it can feel awkward or as though you’re out of the loop if you don’t join in.
Sure, you can sip a soda, but you may feel left out as your friends begin feeling tipsy around you. This fear of missing out (FOMO) can lead us to drink, even when we don’t want to. However, THC-infused drinks provide the perfect solution. Since THC is responsible for the psychoactive high we experience, drinking a THC-infused beverage is comparable to consuming an edible. This means that when your friends feel buzzed, you’ll begin feeling high without FOMO.
Shop Local
Community means everything to us at Greeley Gallery and we cherish our relationships with our customers here in our little corner of North Portland. Still, we also value the relationships we have with local suppliers. Because of this, we’re able to offer the highest quality cannabis products, including weed-infused drinks.
You’ll find top brands such as Magic Number, Vitonic, and Delta Nine at our cannabis dispensary. All of which are produced here in Oregon, so you can feel good knowing your money will support small and local businesses.
No Hangover
Blending alcohol in cocktails makes it hard to track how much alcohol you’re consuming. This could lead you to consume more than you intend resulting in a wicked hangover the following day. Often the sugar that tasted so good the night before only makes you feel worse.
However, you won’t have this problem when drinking cannabis-infused beverages. Each can or bottle is labeled, so you know exactly how much cannabis you’re consuming, allowing you more control over your experience. Plus, you’ll never get a hangover from cannabis, no matter how much you consume. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed while all your buddies will be nursing a hangover the next morning.
Final Thoughts
If you ask us, cannabis-infused beverages are easily one of the most delicious cannabis products to enjoy in summer. Weed drinks are refreshing and come in an array of flavors and options so tasty you’ll forget they’re infused with anything. Don’t forget, our friendly and knowledgeable staff is available to answer any question you might have.
