The Many Faces of Cannabis Drinks
Welcome to the future of cannabis drinks! The legalization of marijuana is encouraging many people to create their own products like edibles and drinks. Since cannabis is a billion-dollar cannabis industry, it provides a massive incentive to join in the revolution.
Currently, there are multiple ways to consume cannabis. Before, cannabis was mainly smoked using paper or eaten via brownies or Krispy treats. But now, it can be smoked, vaped, eaten and drank.
In this article, we’ll be covering the different variations of cannabis drinks like coffee, tea, juice and wine. And we mention the companies that worked hard to create the best versions of mainstream beverages like The Fairwinds and Dixie Elixirs.
Here are the top rundowns of the marijuana beverage market.

A Keurig compatible coffee pod that has 10 mg of THC and coffee. It was made from a Washington based company. The pods are $10 per piece and currently only available in Washington state. Waking up to the fresh smell of coffee and weed is the new best part of waking up.
2. Catapult Hot Cocoa
Not everyone is a coffee drinker and that’s ok. The Fairwinds company created Catapult Hot Cocoa mix. They use all natural ingredients and include 10 mg of THC per serving. Their Hot Cocoa packet comes in a resealable bag. If 10 mg seems too much, pour half to give yourself a 5mg dose and save the rest for later.

Cannabis Shots and Wines

The shot that gets you insta-high. Quigley’s is a product from Colorado. In each 2 fl oz contains 10 mg of THC. The 2 fl oz is sold for $6 each. The 50 mg version costs $15. If you buy the 50 mg version, think of it like drinking a shot of alcohol. You’re not supposed to drink the bottle.

11. Know Label
For the wine and weed connoisseur, this one is for you. Know Label is a cannabis infused wine beverage from California. Rock singer and cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge is the creator of Know Label.
Melissa couldn’t smoke or vape, and edibles weren’t her thing. Her cannabis-wine mix seemed to be the next best way for her to consume. Each bottle comes with an expensive price tag ($140 minimum). But the taste and high is worth every penny.
This is what has developed in just a few years of legalization. Just imagine the drinks that people will be able to come up with in the future. I for one am excited to see what the future holds.
