Weed Water: The New Trend—Refreshing or Risky?

Weed Water
ShareTweetEmail

Move over coconut water. There’s a new drink on the scene: weed water! Yes, you heard that right. This cannabis-infused beverage is bubbling up in popularity, but before you take a sip, let’s dive into the benefits and drawbacks of this trendy drink. 

Benefits 

  1. Mellow Without the Smoke: Weed water offers a discreet and smoke-free way to experience the effects of cannabis. If you’re not into smoking or vaping, this could be an easy way to chill out. 
  1. Low in Calories: Unlike munching on edibles or sugary drinks, most weed water is low-calorie, so you can relax without worrying about your waistline. 
  1. Convenient and Refreshing: It’s just like grabbing a bottle of water—except, well, this one can give you a buzz! Plus, it’s more hydrating than your typical cannabis products. 
  1. Customizable Effects: Many brands offer different types, some designed for relaxation, others for focus or even sleep. It’s like picking your mood in a bottle. 
  1. Less Intense than Edibles: Weed water is often more mild than typical edibles, offering a softer high that some find easier to control. No more worrying about that “too strong” brownie experience. 

Drawbacks

  1. Effects May Vary: Just like with any cannabis product, the effects of weed water can be unpredictable. You might feel calm and relaxed, or… not. Everyone’s body reacts differently, and since the market is still new, the potency can vary a lot between brands. 
  1. Takes Time to Kick In: Don’t expect immediate results. Like edibles, weed water can take up to 30 minutes or more to fully kick in. So, patience is key—don’t guzzle it all at once thinking it’s not working! 
  1. It’s Still Cannabis: Although weed water is trendy, it’s still a cannabis product, which means you’ll need to follow the same legal rules. You can’t just sip this at your office meeting, unless your office is… very progressive. 
  1. Pricey for What It Is: It can cost more than you might expect for a bottle of what is essentially… fancy water. If you’re used to regular H2O, this might feel like splurging on something you could DIY at home. 
  1. Not Always Legal Everywhere: Depending on where you live, weed water may not be available, or legal, yet. It’s still a cannabis product, so double-check your local laws before cracking one open. 

The Verdict 

Weed water is a cool new option for cannabis enthusiasts looking for a lighter, more refreshing way to consume cannabis. But remember, it’s still not a one-size-fits-all solution. Effects can vary, and so can the price! If you’re curious and it’s legal in your area, give it a try—but maybe just start with one sip.
