Cannabis-Infused Soda

Cannabis-infused soda is a type of beverage that incorporates cannabis extracts, typically containing the active compounds THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), which are derived from the cannabis plant. These sodas are part of a larger category of edibles, which are cannabis products meant to be consumed orally. The production of cannabis-infused soda involves the careful mixing of cannabis oil or tincture with a carbonated soft drink base, often flavored with various natural or artificial flavors. The appeal of such sodas lies in their offering a discreet and socially acceptable way of consuming cannabis, as well as providing an alternative to smoking or vaporizing, which can be harsh on the lungs. Cannabis-infused sodas are usually designed to deliver a specific dose of cannabinoids, and they can vary in their potency and effects, depending on the ratio of THC to CBD, as well as other factors such as additional terpenes and the individual’s metabolism. They are typically sold in markets where cannabis has been legalized for medicinal or recreational use, and they must comply with a complex regulatory framework that governs the production, labeling, and distribution of cannabis products. Research into the effects of cannabis-infused sodas and other edibles is ongoing, as scientists and medical professionals seek to understand their therapeutic potential, as well as their psychoactive effects and the implications for public health and safety.
