Picture this: you’re lounging on the patio with friends, the sunlight dances over your glass, and you raise a fizzy, flavor-packed mocktail made just the way you like it. At Carbon Cannabis, we’re all about helping you turn those bite-size moments into something special - especially if you love craft cocktails but crave that uniquely mellow THC twist. Ready to explore how you can play bartender at home with just the right dose? This guide is for you.
Why Start with the Right THC Dose?
Let’s be honest: figuring out your preferred buzz can feel tricky at first. That’s why we keep it simple and break THC beverages into three basic groups - each with a vibe of its own:
- Low Dose (2.5–5mg THC): Dip your toes in or keep happy hour light. Think breezy convos, zero pressure. If you’re curious, Hi Seltzers explains more about these easy-going THC drinks.
- Moderate Dose (5–10mg THC): Looking for that gentle hug of relaxation? Drinks at this strength serve up mellow evenings and unwinding after work. Delta Light Tropical Mango THC Seltzer is a hit for a reason - it nails that just-right balance.
- High Dose (10mg+ THC): Reserved for those who know their cannabis and want a richer, long-lasting feel.
Tip from us: “Start low, go slow.” For a smart primer before your first mocktail sesh, peek at our Beginner's THC Kit guide loaded with real-life tips.
