Why did you decide to try a THC drink?
The short answer is that at my age, and given my fairly aggressive historical relationship with alcohol, I started considering THC gummies as a replacement for drinking. When I learned about Fable, through a friend, I thought the drinkable THC would allow me to have a “cocktail” in my hand at events but not suffer the poisonous effects of alcohol during the event and throughout the next day’s recovery. Hangovers are bad for business.
Can you share your experience drinking THC for the first-time?
My first THC drink was a 5mg THC & 3mg CBD beverage made by Fable (they also gave a 10m THC option). The things I noticed compared to gummy THC chews was the buzz affected me more quickly and more uniformly. With gummies I get sort of a hit or miss high – either too much or not enough. Fable was the ‘expected’ buzz and therefore more in line with an alcohol buzz. However, with Fable I needed just one cocktail. The buzz was even and yet substantial enough that I didn’t need to have a second. The next morning, I felt just the slightest after effect. Not enough to call it a hangover, but just a minute and slight feeling that I had had something the night before.
When do you usually consume your cannabis beverages?
Friday or Saturday night. Early. With apps and friends.
What’s your favorite thing about cannabis drinks with THC?
Consistent/even keeled buzz. No hangover. Pleasant and varied flavor profiles.
What would you tell someone who has never tried a THC drink, but is curious?
Sign up to try one with a good friend. Relax, let the buzz come to you. Start with a low dose thc drink, there are plenty around now. Surround yourself with positive people, vibes, and good food.
