Across the nation, CBD-infused drinks are flying off the shelves of health food stores and cafes. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-hallucinogenic compound found in cannabis plants. Hemp, a cultivated variety of cannabis, is the primary source of CBD for manufacturers and consumers mainly because it contains very little tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that gets users high. For people looking for an alternative to their morning cup of coffee or sugar-laden soda, these CBD-infused beverages are flavorful and functional.
Oleo
For CBD users who are on-the-go, Oleo makes caffeine-free, single-serve powder mixes infused with CBD. These lightly sweetened mixes come in multiple flavors including coconut water, passion fruit, raspberry, and tangerine. The passion fruit, raspberry, and tangerine flavors are rooibos mix extract teas that are naturally flavored. Each mix contains 25 mg of CBD.
Dirty Lemon
Dirty Lemon makes dietary supplement-infused drinks in turmeric, collage, charcoal, matcha, ginseng, sleep, rose, and CBD formulas. Their 16 oz CBD formula was inspired by the Pineapple Express cannabis strain. Every bottle contains 20 mg of CBD, organic lemon juice, pineapple juice, and a pineapple express blend of pineapple, blood orange, and tangerine. The drink also contains pink Himalayan sea salt for electrolytes and L-theanine (found in tea) to improve cognition, alertness, and tranquility.
Sprig
California-based Sprig crafts thirst-quenching and delicious CBD and THC sodas. Their line of CBD sodas comes in citrus, zero sugar citrus, zero sugar sparkling lemon tea, and zero sugar melon flavors.

The CBD-infused beverage trend is here to stay. Despite some states like California prohibiting the use of CBD (regardless of source) into food products for humans and pets, CBD drinks are already widely available. States have no clear plan of enforcing these rules. That’s good news for people who want a relaxing experience paired with their drinks.
