NEW TO DELTA 9? HERE'S WHERE TO START

Maybe you’ve seen Delta-9 THC drinks popping up at your favorite bar, on store shelves, or all over your Instagram feed. And now, you’re wondering—what’s the deal?

Think of Delta-9 THC drinks as the new wave of relaxation—a smoother, more social way to enjoy THC without the smoke or mystery. These drinks offer a controlled, measured dose of Delta-9 THC, the same active ingredient found in traditional cannabis, but in a refreshing, easy-to-enjoy format. Whether you’re looking to unwind, vibe, or enhance a chill night with friends, THC-infused beverages make it simple and approachable.

Is Delta-9 THC the Same as Marijuana?

Not exactly! Both marijuana and hemp-derived Delta-9 THC come from the same plant, Cannabis sativa L., but the difference comes down to THC concentration and legality.

  • Marijuana contains high levels of Delta-9 THC (more than 0.3), which gives it that classic psychoactive effect.
  • Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC is extracted from hemp and legally limited to 0.3 THC by dry weight. Thanks to smart extraction methods, brands can create THC drinks that are federally legal while still offering that familiar mellow buzz.

So while Delta-9 from hemp and marijuana is chemically identical, the difference lies in how it’s sourced and regulated.

 

Dig Deeper

Yup, It’s Legal.

You might be asking yourself, “Wait…THC drinks are legal?”

The answer is, yes! Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, Delta-9 THC derived from hemp is federally legal as long as it stays under 0.3 THC by dry weight. That’s how companies are able to create fully legal THC beverages that deliver an authentic and enjoyable THCexperience.

However, state laws vary, so always check your local regulations before stocking up on your new favorite THC drink.

 

Which Delta-9 THC Drink Should I Try First?

There are hundreds of THC drinks out there, and choosing the right one depends on your vibe and tolerance level.

  • Low-Dose & Microdosed THC Drinks (2.5 mg per can) – Perfect for beginners or those who prefer a light, buildable buzz.
  • Low to Mid-range THC Drinks (5 mg per can) – A balanced, social-friendly option designed to help you relax without feeling overwhelmed. It’s the ideal middle ground for first-timers and experienced THC drinkers alike.
  • High-Dose THC Drinks (10+ mg per can) – These are for seasoned THC lovers. If you’re new to THC drinks, steer clear of these until you know your limits.

How Much Should I Drink?

Start low and go slow.

Everyone’s body reacts differently to THC, so it’s best to ease in and see how you feel. Here’s a good starting point:

New to THC? Start with 2.5 to 5 mg and wait at least 30-60 minutes before deciding if you need more. 

Looking for a little extra lift? Try 5-10 mg for a deeper relaxation experience, and in social settings.

Seasoned pro? Higher doses (10 mg+) might be more your speed, but always pace yourself.

Factors like body weight, metabolism, and tolerance all play a role in how THC affects you. Drink responsibly, and know your limits.

At Island Chill, our products contain 5 mg of Delta-9 THC so you can create the desired effect that you’re looking for. Whether you start sipping on half a can, or want to enjoy the 4-pack, Island Chill is designed for a chill, buildable buzz. 

 

What Should You Look for When Selecting a Delta-9 THC Product?

Not all THC drinks are created equal! Here’s what to keep in mind when choosing the right one for you:

Lab-Tested & Transparent Ingredients – Always choose brands that provide third-party lab results to ensure quality and potency.

Clear Dosing – Look for precise THC amounts per serving so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Nanoemulsion Technology – Some THC drinks - like Island Chill - use nanoemulsified THC, meaning it absorbs faster and more efficiently for a smooth, predictable experience.

Flavor & Experience – No matter what your vibe is, there’s a Delta-9 drink for that. For us at Island Chill, we opted to go away from the flavorless seltzer and more towards a refreshing, fruity and botanical beverage. Our flavors are designed to bring the tropics to you, in a can.

Final Thoughts
