Pick Your Potion: Cannabis Beverage Or Edibles?

Edibles are a popular way to consume cannabis, and with so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. Two popular options are cannabis-infused beverages and gummies. But which one to choose?

First, you should know that drinks and gummies affect the mind and body differently, although they both fit into the edibles category.

In general, cannabis edibles and drinks have a later onset than smoking, but the full effects have a longer peak and duration.

Cannabis-infused beverages are new to the edibles market. They come in various flavors and types, including tea, coffee, and THC seltzers.

They are an excellent option for those who prefer something other than the taste or texture of gummies or other edibles. Plus, they are discreet and easy to consume on the go.

One of the biggest advantages of cannabis-infused drinks is that they are fast-acting. Unlike other edibles that take up to an hour, the drinks usually take effect in 15-30 minutes.

Another advantage of cannabis-infused drinks is that they come in precise doses.

With Cycling Frog’s THC seltzer drinks, you can say goodbye to hangovers, bloating, and unwanted calories, as they have THC and CBD beverages perfect for any occasion. These drinks come in delicious flavors and are ideal for any time of the day, even for social events.

Cannabis gummies have been a popular choice of edibles for years. They come in various flavors and shapes, making them a fun way to consume cannabis. In addition, they are easy to dose and can be cut into smaller pieces for lower dosing.

One of the biggest advantages of cannabis gummies is that they are discreet. They look and taste like regular jelly beans, making them an excellent option for those who want to consume cannabis without attracting attention.

Another advantage of cannabis gummies is their long duration. They can take up to an hour to kick in, but once they do, the effects can last for several hours. This makes them a good choice for those who want to enjoy the effects of cannabis over a long period of time.

If gummies are your thing, we recommend you try any of the four flavors offered by Cycling Frog, with its two potency options—an easy, practical, and fast way to consume cannabis and enjoy its benefits.

Both cannabis beverages and gummies are great, non-carcinogenic ways to get your daily dose of THC. However, each offers slight advantages over the other.

Ingestible cannabis does not break down the same in the body. Even though both drinks and gummies are edibles, both are digested differently in the body.

When you consume cannabis in gummy form, the THC in the cannabis oil is absorbed by the stomach and intestine. Then, it goes through a digestion process before being absorbed into the bloodstream.

If you drink beverages infused with THC, the cannabinoids in the oil dissolve and pass through your digestive system and quickly enter your bloodstream once they reach the stomach lining.

Like an alcoholic beverage, the effects of cannabis beverages rise faster because they do not need the digestive breakdown process that edibles do.

Dosage is one of the main concerns when consuming cannabis edibles.

Users often wonder how to find the correct dosage and determine whether an edible is right. And when choosing between a drink and a gummy, the dosage is crucial.

Generally speaking, THC- or CBD-infused drinks have faster absorption than gummies or other edibles. This is because they are absorbed into the body more quickly through the mucous membrane in the mouth and throat rather than going through the entire digestive process. On the other hand, the potency of the gummies is more pronounced. This means that your dosage of the two should be different.

If you’re new to cannabis edibles, starting with a low dose is important to assess your tolerance.

A typical dose is 5-10 mg of THC or CBD, which you’ll find in most edibles. However, if you opt for a drink, you can start with 5 mg of THC or CBD and wait about 60 minutes to assess the effects.

Gummies, on the other hand, can be a bit more complicated when it comes to dosing. Some manufacturers make gummies with doses of 5 mg of THC or CBD, while others use higher doses of 25 mg or even 50 mg. If you’re starting, we recommend starting with a low-dose gummy to assess your tolerance.

In any case, it is essential to remember that the correct dosage will depend on several factors, such as your body weight, tolerance, and previous experience with edibles.

Choosing between cannabis-infused drinks and gummies all comes down to personal preference.

Cannabis-infused drinks may be the best choice if you want a fast-acting, precise dosing option. On the other hand, gummies may be a better choice if you prefer a discreet, long-lasting option.

For example, Cycling Frog drinks are ideal for social times or when you want a refreshing drink with an extra non-alcoholic hit. These seltzers contain 5mg of THC and 10mg of CBD per can, a THC seltzer designed to help you relax, laugh and, most importantly, have fun.

Now, suppose you prefer a gummy for a more relaxing or intimate experience. In that case, you can also find a variety of options at Cycling Frog, with balanced 1:1 THC and CBD combinations that allow you to enjoy the benefits of both cannabinoids without either taking over the experience or in a ratio of 5mg THC and 25mg CBD, for a more calming and relaxing experience.

Whichever you choose, it is important to start with a low dose and wait before consuming more.

There is no right or wrong choice regarding cannabis-infused beverages versus gummies. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and it’s up to you to choose which you prefer at any time.
