Edibles are always a guaranteed good time, but now you can drink up your buzz instead. Cannabis beverages are dominating the market due to their subtle form of consumption, which is often more socially acceptable than lighting up a huge spliff. Drinks are made using a form of emulsion technology, which turns cannabis oil into a water-soluble form, minus the taste, smell, or color influence of cannabis.
Although it’s generally a less healthy alternative, alcohol consumption is allowed at significantly more venues than cannabis is, and the new inclusion of cannabis beverages will enable us to normalize the plant even more as a safer social lubricant.
