Want to drink your weed? Infused beverages are all the rage these days, and there’s good reason why.
Read on to learn more about why cannabis drinks have become a popular consumption method. See how you can select your perfect sip, and what kinds of beverages are available here at NICKLZ’ New York dispensary!
Why Consume Cannabis Beverages?
Cannabis drinks have become an incredibly popular method of consumption in recent years. They’re portable, convenient, and discreet with no smell or leftover materials (such as ash or a joint tip) to get rid of.
They’re also incredibly versatile — they can be:
- Sipped at a social gathering with friends
- Thrown in your bag as you explore Times Square and the streets of New York
- Enjoyed while chilling on the couch during a movie night
Potency Considerations When Consuming Cannabis Drinks
While there are lots of benefits of cannabis beverages, keep in mind that your inhalation tolerance won’t be the same as your ingestible tolerance with edibles.
When you smoke flower or concentrates, cannabinoids are inhaled into your lungs and pass rapidly into the bloodstream. This results in pretty immediate effects that will peak in a matter of minutes and wear off in a couple of hours, depending on the potency of the product.
On the other hand, edibles are digested so they’re absorbed directly by the stomach and liver. This means delayed effects that may not peak until a few hours after consumption and can last for 6-8 hours.
The particular type of edible you take can also affect the timing and potency of your experience. For example, infused beverages in particular will hit the system faster than a food item such as a brownie or gummy that needs to be digested.
Effects of induced drinks can also be dependent on:
- Your body weight
- Your frequency of cannabis use
- The type and quantity of food you’ve consumed that day
Whether you’re totally new to edibles or a seasoned consumer curious about trying a new product type for the first time, start low and go slow!

How to Choose Your Cannabis Beverage
Infused drinks can serve different purposes with different potencies, effects, terpenes, and flavor profiles. Some may provide uplifting energy for a brainstorming sesh or a night out on the town, while others may be better suited to sip before bedtime.

When you’re shopping for infused drinks in New York dispensaries, here are some questions to ask yourself:
- What feeling or experience do I want to achieve? For example, the Up Ayrloom half lemonade, half tea beverage was made to have energizing, uplifting effects. On the other hand, one of Ayloom’s drinks with CBD may be more relaxing.
- Would I like CBD and other cannabinoids to be included? We offer both 2:1 and 1:1 drinks from Ayrloom on our menu!
- What is my tolerance level? To prevent overconsumption, take the recommended dose on the product label. Wait 40 minutes to two hours to fully assess your tolerance. If you’re unsure, we recommend discussing dosage with your budtender before consuming.
