background
Five years ago, the St. Louis market was just beginning to enjoy the arrival of cannabidiol (CBD) drinks. Today, non-alcoholic relaxing and intoxicating drinks are everywhere, and local bars, restaurants and retailers are considering how much to invest in the exploding number of drinks.
Of course, the legalization of recreational marijuana in Missouri has brought significant changes to the market. It is now legal for pharmacies to sell drinks containing THC, the psychoactive compound that causes people to get high. (It's in the “edible” category along with gummies, candies, etc.)
Still, many people prefer drinks containing hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids, such as delta-8 THC, which are available outside of dispensaries. It's been a whirlwind summer for these products in Missouri. After a series of state-level actions, including executive orders, lawsuits, health-related bans, and emergency regulations, federally legal cannabis-derived THC beverages are back on store shelves in Missouri. (One news outlet described Missouri as engaging in “marijuana prohibition quackery.”)
Without thinking too much about THC extraction methods, consumers should keep in mind that there are many techniques that provide different properties to the resulting concentrate. Similarly, the injection methods are different. Some producers use nanoemulsions. This allows for a faster onset of effects, as the THC is absorbed in the stomach rather than passing through the liver to be processed.
A final note on strength: Generally, 2 to 5 mg of THC per serving is considered a microdose. 5 to 10 mg is usually recommended. Drinking a bottle of wine can reach 25 mg. And 100mg can have as much impact on beginners as a bottle of 80 proof vodka.
