Cannabis Drinkables – Are They More Popular than Edibles?

Posted by Emily Ledger on March 17th, 2020

Over the past few years, the legal marijuana market has progressed due to the rise in the use of edible cannabis. The growth was noticed when nano-emulsion technology brought a major change with better tasting formulations of cannabis food products. Before this technology, many companies strived to disguise the 'weedy' smell in their products.  However, now it is possible to create a tasteless and scentless water-soluble cannabis solution. Whether eatable or drinkable, cannabis food products are used in many ways.

Cannabis edibles vs. drinkables

With time, researchers have explored the contents of the marijuana herb. They found a fascinating range of products in both edible and drinkable forms. These food products contain both cannabinoids (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Marijuana is now recognized as a safer alternative to alcohol and people enjoy weed as it provides a better potent experience.

Edibles were regarded as the best way to medicate. However, now cannabis comes in an array of doses. The liquid form is considered better as once the effects of edibles empower you, the high can get more intense, especially if you are an inexperienced consumer. Luckily, the intensity of an edible high of THC is converted into more psychoactive 11-hydroxy-THC, which lets you experience edibles without addiction.

The popularity of cannabis drinkable

In some of the biggest markets around the world, cannabis drinkables have gained immense popularity. Even in markets where recreational cannabis remains illegal, weed drinks and edibles have undergone a massive growth. Drinkable weed is available in the form of lemonade, juices, coffees, sodas, and more. Though these cannabis-infused beverages can also produce an incredibly high potency, yet their effects are quick, and dosages are more reliable.

According to a market research, the CBD industry is predicted to rise to .91 billion by the end of 2025. The rise is highly expected due to the rising potential consumers for cannabis drinkables. Today, the cannabis industry offers better business opportunities for both new and existing businesses. Following the scenario, a large number of start-ups and more established CBD companies have already joined the venture.
