Those looking to try cannabis in something other than the \u201ctraditional\u201d way may find what they’ve been looking for with a new caffeinated cannabis drink that offers users a bit of a buzz with zero chance of a hangover.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest product in a growing beverages cannabis market<\/a>. Introduced in a marketing campaign that features Swedish singer Tove Lo, Passion Peach Mate from the beverage company Cann offers 5 mg of THC in every 12-ounce can.<\/p>\n

The caffeinated cannabis seltzer is made from yerba mate, a popular plant from Latin America. Cann<\/a> asks consumers to think of Passion Peach Mate as \u201cthe better-for-you, alcohol-free version of a Red Bull vodka.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest product from a company that is becoming widely known in the cannabis beverage industry. They\u2019ve achieved their success by making their products less potent, not more.<\/p>\n

Bringing the THC Levels Down<\/h2>\n

In an interview with Forbes<\/a>, the two founders of Cann – Jake Bullock and Luke Anderson – said they decided early on to focus on cannabis beverages rather than flower or edibles. Part of their strategy involved making their products less potent.<\/p>\n

Bullock said they arrived at this conclusion after looking at how people consume caffeine and alcohol. Both are low-dose intoxicants when consumed in small amounts, which is why people can drink four cups of coffee or have a couple of beers in one sitting.<\/p>\n

Bullock said, \u201cThat concept wasn\u2019t in the cannabis industry. Bringing the dosing down makes a lot of sense for a social product. You can consume many of them, it\u2019s incremental, you can share. By bringing the dosing down, you get a euphoric, much more controllable, uplifting experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is all worth consumers taking note because the two Cann founders seem to have articulated where the cannabis beverage business is going. And it\u2019s working. A writer for Insider<\/a> already tried the caffeinated cannabis drink Passion Peach Mate and reported that she achieved a \u201cgiddy buzz.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy tasting companion and I agreed that these would be the perfect drink for a night out,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

No Hangover, Fewer Calories<\/h3>\n

Cann also sums up the attraction of cannabis-infused drinks on its website<\/a>. They call their products \u201ca social tonic microdosed with cannabis that gives you a light and uplifted buzz, but has no hangover, fewer empty calories, all-natural ingredients and no regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n

As consumers continue to take more interest in their options, beverage industry experts have taken notice. Politico reports<\/a> that major beer companies have started to invest in cannabis drinks. That includes heavy hitters such as Anheuser-Busch InBev, Pabst Brewing Company and Constellation Brands.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all good news for consumers. They have increasingly voted with their pocketbooks. Beverage and edibles sales continue to grow and are expected to reach more than $1 billion in annual sales by 2025. That\u2019s more than double the current sales.<\/p>\n

The biggest cannabis drink seller in Canada is Canopy Growth. David Culver, vice president of government relations for the company, told Politico that beverages will attract new consumers to cannabis. \u201c\u201cThis is a product that they’re going to be very comfortable consuming,\u201d he said. \u201cThey don’t want to smoke it. They don’t potentially want to vape it. But consuming it as a beverage is something that they can do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
