Types of Cannabis Beverages We Carry
Seltzers
THC seltzers are carbonated cannabis beverages that often lean toward light fruit flavors. Compare sugar, calories and THC per container on the current label; those details vary by product. The menu shows which flavors and brands are available today.
Sodas
Classic, nostalgic flavors meet modern cannabis infusion. Keef sodas come sweetened with cane sugar and deliver bold flavor in every can—Cola, Root Beer, and Orange Kush are favorites. Each soda contains 5mg THC and is great solo or poured over ice as a treat.
Caffeinated Drinks
Caffeinated cannabis beverages combine THC with ingredients like tea or coffee extracts. They are designed for daytime use, offering a lifted, alert experience while still delivering the effects of cannabis.
Juice Based Drinks
Bursting with real citrus and full flavor, cannabis lemonades offer a more juice-forward experience. These drinks lean into bold fruit flavors and natural sweetness. They can feel more substantial than seltzers and are great if you prefer a vibrant, juice-forward option with noticeable flavor.There even other fruited lemonades such as blue raspberry and strawberry.
Mocktails
Mocktail-style cannabis drinks are crafted to mimic classic cocktails without the alcohol. They often feature layered flavors, herbs, citrus, and botanical notes that feel elevated and intentional. Swapping these in at your next get-together can completely shift the vibe, giving guests a social drink option that feels festive and sophisticated without the hangover.
What Are THC Drinks?
THC drinks are non-alcoholic beverages infused with tetrahydrocannabinol, the cannabinoid responsible for cannabis’s intoxicating effects. They include seltzers, sodas, lemonades, mocktail-style beverages, teas, and drink mix-ins. Many come in measured servings, while some use fast-acting formulations designed for a different onset experience than traditional edibles.

Adults 21 and older can buy THC drinks at Starbird Cannabis at 2 Bridge Street in Salem, near the Beverly-Salem Bridge.

Our team can help you compare THC per container, ingredients, caffeine, sugar, carbonation, and formulation. A valid government-issued ID is required.
How Long Do THC Drinks Take to Kick In?
There is no single timeline for every cannabis beverage. Formulation, amount consumed, food and individual response all affect THC drink onset. Even a product marketed as fast acting can take longer than expected. Follow its directions and allow time to assess the effects before drinking more.
THC Drinks vs Edibles
THC drinks and solid edibles both deliver cannabis through an ingestible product. Sipping a beverage and eating a gummy offer different formats, and some products use different formulations. The comparison of cannabis drinks and edibles starts with THC per serving, ingredients and label directions. A drink is not automatically weaker or shorter lasting than a product from the edible selection.
THC Seltzers vs Cannabis Sodas
THC seltzers generally emphasize carbonation and lighter fruit flavors. Cannabis sodas often emphasize sweetness and familiar styles such as cola, root beer or orange. Check the actual nutrition and ingredient information: a seltzer is not automatically sugar-free, and soda style does not determine THC strength. Either can contain an intoxicating serving.
Do THC Drinks Get You High?
Yes. THC drinks can cause intoxication and impairment, including at amounts that look small on the label. Caffeine does not cancel THC impairment, and combining cannabis with alcohol can increase impairment. Plan to avoid driving after using a cannabis beverage.
What Makes a Cannabis Drink Actually Good?
Formulation and Onset Information
Many cannabis beverages use emulsification technology to disperse cannabis extract evenly throughout the liquid. Some are marketed as fast-acting, but the actual onset can vary by product and person. A quality product should provide clear label guidance without promising an exact onset or experience.
Clear Serving Information
A good cannabis beverage clearly identifies the THC in the entire container, along with any additional cannabinoids. Massachusetts adult-use cannabis beverages are packaged as single servings, with potency governed by state limits and testing requirements. Always use the amount printed on the specific product label.
Flavor Balance
A well-made cannabis drink should work as a beverage first. The sweetness, acidity, carbonation, and botanical notes should feel balanced without an overpowering cannabis aftertaste.
Transparent Labeling
The THC amount, cannabinoid ratio, ingredients, caffeine, sugar, calories, and serving size should all be easy to find. That information is more useful than broad promises about exactly how a drink will make someone feel.
How to Choose a Cannabis Drink
Read THC per serving and THC per container, then look for other cannabinoids, serving count and whether the product is ready to drink or needs measuring and mixing. Next compare flavor, carbonation, sugar, calories, caffeine and ingredients. If a manufacturer gives shaking, refrigeration or after-opening instructions, follow them for that product.
For someone unfamiliar with THC, a clearly labeled lower serving amount may be easier to compare than a product chosen for its flavor alone. The current THC drink menu confirms the available beverages, while the details of cannabis drink formulations help explain why the same printed THC amount does not guarantee the same experience.

THC Drink FAQs
Is a cannabis drink the same thing as drink drops?
No. A ready-to-drink product is a finished beverage. Drops and mix-ins require measuring and preparation according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Does a zero-calorie drink contain less THC?
Calories and THC content are separate measurements. Read both the nutrition information and cannabinoid label.
Does caffeine make a THC drink safe before driving?
No. Caffeine does not cancel cannabis impairment. Avoid driving after consuming THC.

Follow the product's storage and after-opening instructions. Different cans, bottles and mix-ins have different recommendations.
