What You Need to Know About Cannabis Vodka
With the continually rising popularity of cannabis, more and more infused products are emerging in the market. You can find marijuana-infused chocolates, gummies, sodas and even beers.
Of course, hard liquor will not be left behind when it comes to getting with the current trends. The development of cannabis vodka is getting the attention of enthusiasts and curious individuals alike. If you are one of these people, here’s what you should know about this unique blend.
Is Cannabis Vodka Safe?
Perhaps the most pressing question before consuming cannabis vodka is whether it is safe to take. One important thing to note is that the plant contains a variety of chemical compounds, with cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) taking the lead. When isolated, these two cannabinoids have different effects.
So, when discussing whether is it safe to mix cannabis with alcohol, it is necessary to determine whether you are going to mix both CBD and THC, or only one cannabinoid with alcohol.
According to experts, mixing THC’s euphoric and psychoactive effects with the stimulating and sedating effects of alcohol can be dangerous. This can lead to impaired judgment, motor skills and cognitive functions, which can result in accidents and even death.
On the other hand, CBD stimulates cognition, brings a relaxed feeling and improves your mood. When mixed with alcohol in moderate amounts, drinkers can reduce the negative effects of the beverage because of the medicinal effects of the cannabinoid.
Many Brands Contain Minimal THC
If you are interested in trying out cannabis vodka, you will be glad to know that you can buy a bottle of the Russian drink that is already infused with marijuana. One of your options is Humboldt’s Finest. Developed by Humboldt Distillery, this beverage contains only 0.3% THC which is not enough to give the psychoactive effect of the cannabinoid. According to the distillery’s owner, the drink has the notable herbal taste of the plant.
You can also consider trying out Weedka, which is crafted using natural marijuana terpenes. This gives the drink the natural flavor and aroma of the plant without any of the effects it gives. It does not have any trace of THC, making it easily accessible. When you choose Weedka, you are drinking cannabis oil (without THC, of course) extremely diluted with vodka, giving you an authentic experience.
You Can Make Your Own Cannabis Vodka with CBD Oil
Cannabis Vodka can be expensive, especially as these are special blends. If you are looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, you might want to try to make one using CBD hemp oil. You just need to place a few drops of the oil into a serving of your favorite vodka or vodka-based drink.
Keep in mind that the compound affects individuals differently, so make sure to take it easy. You can start with fewer drops and increase the dosage as you get familiar with the CBD cocktails. This is a great match for CBD edibles such as cookies, brownies and even full-blown dishes!
For adventurous individuals, it is possible to make your own infused drink using buds or leaves. Just make sure to get a strain that has extremely low levels of THC. You only need a double boiler, vodka, cannabis and a thermometer. Simply heat the vodka at the lowest setting, no more than 60C as alcohol can evaporate in high heat. Then place the buds and heat for 2 to 3 hours.
While satisfying your adventurous spirit is a great motivation to try cannabis vodka, safe and responsible consumption is always the best way to go. So, make sure to try this drink and enjoy the unique experience it has to offer while watching out for your health.
