So you’re thinking about trying a THC drink for the first time — welcome. Whether you’re THC-curious, easing off alcohol, or just looking for a better buzz, you’re in the right place.
Cannabis beverages are quickly becoming the go-to for people who want to feel good without getting wrecked. And if you’re sipping Not Beer, you’re in especially good hands.
Here’s everything you need to know to make your first time smooth, enjoyable, and memorable (for the right reasons).
💡 What Is a THC Drink, Exactly?
A THC drink is a non-alcoholic beverage infused with tetrahydrocannabinol — the same compound found in weed. But instead of smoking or eating an edible, you’re drinking your dose, often in a refreshing sparkling format.
Most drinks today (like Not Beer Vibed) use hemp-derived Delta-9 THC that’s federally legal and crafted for fast onset, smooth effects, and chill vibes.
⏳ How Fast Does It Work?
Most people feel the effects of a THC beverage in 10 to 30 minutes, thanks to nanoemulsion technology that makes the THC more bioavailable (faster and more effective than edibles).
So don’t panic if you don’t feel it instantly — just sip, chill, and let it build.
✨ What Will I Feel?
Everyone’s a little different, but first-time drinkers often describe the experience like this:
- A gentle body buzz
- A calm, uplifted mood
- A slight giggle-fit or smile they didn’t know was coming
- A sense that the moment is a little more — music sounds better, food tastes richer, and conversation feels more interesting
You won’t feel out of control or stuck to the couch — unless that’s your vibe.
🍻 Should I Drink the Whole Can?
If you’re drinking Not Beer (10mg THC per can) and you’re totally new to THC, we recommend:
- Drink half your first time and give it 30–45 minutes
- If you’re feeling good, go for the second half
- Stay hydrated and avoid combining with alcohol your first time
You’ll learn your sweet spot quickly — most people feel great after one full can and don’t need more.
🧘 Tips for the Best First Experience
- Pick the right setting: somewhere calm, familiar, and low-pressure
- Eat something beforehand: it helps with digestion and balance
- Be around people you trust (or enjoy the solo vibe!)
- Don’t mix with other substances on your first try
- Lean into the moment — this isn’t about zoning out, it’s about tuning in
Trying a THC drink for the first time should feel exciting — not intimidating. With the right brand, right dose, and right setting, you’re in for something pretty special: a clear, elevated experience that helps you enjoy the moment without losing yourself in it.
