Trying to switch from smoking to edibles. Gummies dont act fast enough for me and last too long. I read that nanoemulsified drinks work really fast and dont last too long. It was hard to find nanoemulsified syrup but found some and theres so much great reviews I dont understand why its so hard to find info about this ?

A can will cost around 4-5$ per drink for 10mg. A nanoemulsified syrup bottle should be around 25-30$ for 1000mg, which equals to 100 cans. Is there something im missing there ?

Edited for typos.

On a whim, I recently tried some of the product called Sprinkle (just a powder you can add to a drink). Haven't smoked since college, which was a long time ago. Even then, I was more of a drinker. Anyway...the product arrived the other day, so I figured I'd give it a try. Per the usual advice, did a 5 mg packet (added to a 12 oz flavored water). Took my time drinking it. Within 10-15 minutes, I did indeed feel a very, very light buzz, maybe like a had a glass of wine. More time went by, but nothing changed.

A few hours later, I figured I'd try another 5 mg drink. I drank this one faster, and while eating dinner. Similar effects. Maybe felt a little something afterwards, slightly stronger affect, but nothing major. That was the end of the experiment for the night.

Not being satisfied, and still curious, I decided to give it another go on another night. This time, I just went straight to 10 mg in a 12 oz drink, and downed it relatively quickly, maybe within 20-25 mins. Time went by and it was was the same thing. Felt a little "something", but not much more than the first experiment. I think a little over 2.5 hours had passed, and I ate dinner (a couple burgers and sides).

Did the dishes and was putting away some laundry when things seemed to ramp up. Then, all of a sudden...BLAM. Shit hit me pretty hard. For a little while, I was feeling anxious and even a little panicky. Probably because I didn't really know what to expect. I calmed down a bit, then was golden for the next few hours, and started to get kind of sleepy near the end.

Being a "newb", I'm just wondering if this is normal with drinks? Most of companies say you'll feel the effects within 15 mins, then it wears off after 1.5 hours or so. This was definitely NOT the case with me. I basically felt nothing for hours, then got immediately slammed.

One other note of interest...It seemed like eating that big meal kicked things in very quickly. Maybe the THC was just hanging out in my stomach all that time (since I had not eaten yet), then when I ate, it all dropped at once? I'm curious to hear the rest of your experiences, especially those new to drinks. Thanks!

I started drinking THC seltzer when I was looking for alternative to alcohol and it's been over 6 months I haven't touched alcohol. I just feel like there's no need anymore, THC made me feel better (been losing weight, no more excruciating hangover, not feeling bloated as often as I used to), and I enjoy the taste too! my go to are Cornbread's THC drinks cause they taste clean and crisp. I wonder if most people here started the same way and have stop drinking alcohol 100% or you still consume alcohol in between anyway?

Anyone in California know where to get good cannabis beverages? I see that home delivery is no longer permitted. And it seems like the cannabis shops don’t have good selections. Not sure what our options are at this point

Total newbie here. I used to be a big smoker but since having kids have become a runner and worry smoking might bug my lungs.

Enter this past weekend, a friend had me try the Willy Nelson remedy drink. Years past when I’ve taken edibles I usually do at least 10mg and even then sometimes didn’t feel much, so I did 10mg of the drink.

I actually found it to be quite delicious but HOLY I felt knocked on my ass. I love the idea of having something to sip vs alcohol, but want something that’s relaxing yet gives me energy (does that exist?!)

Would love any recommendations!
