What Are Hemp-Infused Drinks? A Beginner’s Guide to Cannabis Beverages

Hemp-infused drinks are changing the way people think about relaxation. These cannabis-infused beverages deliver a refreshing, fast-acting experience using hemp-derived cannabinoids like Delta-9 THC—offering a modern alternative to the afternoon beer or sugary sodas. In this article, we explain what hemp-infused drinks are, why they’re gaining popularity, and how brands like Sunny Dayz are redefining the way we sip, relax, and socialize.

What Are Hemp-Infused Drinks?

Hemp-infused drinks are beverages made with hemp-derived cannabinoids, such as Delta-9 THC, that deliver mild psychoactive effects through water-soluble extracts. Unlike traditional edibles or alcoholic beverages, these drinks often kick in within 15–30 minutes, offering a consistent and smoother buzz without the harsh aftermath of alcohol or the delayed onset of edibles. 

Hemp drinks leverage ingredients from the cannabis plant—most notably hemp extract containing low, legal levels of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—to create a reliable, balanced experience that aligns with social routines and individual preferences.

At Sunny Dayz, we use hemp-derived Delta-9 THC with CBG for a more balanced and enjoyable effect. With just 10 calories and no artificial additives, each can delivers crisp, fruit-forward flavor in three refreshing varieties: grapefruit, lime, and blood orange. Whether you're looking to unwind or elevate a social moment, Sunny Dayz offers a modern, clean alternative that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Are Hemp Drinks the Same as CBD-Infused Drinks?

Not exactly. While the terms are often used interchangeably, hemp drinks and CBD-infused drinks aren’t always the same. CBD drinks are specifically infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound found in the cannabis plant, and are designed to offer calming effects without a high.

Let's take a look at the main differences between these cannabis drinks:

Main Active Compounds

• CBD drinks contain cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana plants. CBD is typically used for relaxation and balance, without producing a high.
• Hemp drinks are a broader category that contains:

• • Beverages with only hemp seed oil (which has no cannabinoids at all)

  • Or hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, or Delta-9 THC.

So, a hemp drink could be a CBD drink, or it could include THC if it's marketed as a hemp-derived THC beverage (like Sunny Dayz).

Psychoactive Effects

• CBD drinks do not cause a high, even at higher doses.
• Hemp drinks may or may not cause a high, depending on their chemical composition.

Use Cases and Audience

• CBD drinks appeal to those seeking relaxation without intoxication.
• Hemp-derived THC Drinks appeal to those looking for an alcohol alternative with a measurable buzz, quick onset, and low sugar content, especially in social or recreational settings.

Why Are Cannabis-Infused Beverages Becoming So Popular?

The cannabis industry continues to innovate, and hemp is now a hot trend among beverage manufacturers looking to offer more functional, mindful experiences. With consistent doses, quicker onset times, and cleaner ingredient lists, hemp beverage products are capturing the attention of:

• Craft beer drinkers seeking a new kind of buzz
• Carbonated drink fans who want more from their bubbles
• Customers exploring drinkable cannabis as part of a cocktail routine or post-work ritual

Sunny Dayz fits effortlessly into this new wave, offering an appealing option for those looking to swap out alcoholic beverages for something lighter, more intentional, and plant-based. With precise dosing, natural ingredients, and vibrant fruit flavors, it delivers a classic drink's refreshment and social ease without sacrificing taste or control over how you want to feel.

Are Drinkable Hemp Products Safe?

Most hemp-infused drinks, including teas and nonalcoholic beverages, contain THC levels well below toxicological thresholds and are unlikely to cause psychoactive effects or exceed acute reference doses for THC in typical consumption scenarios. However, some hemp teas and supplements can contain higher THC levels, especially those made from certain plant materials or flowers, which may occasionally approach or exceed safety limits (Katarina Bijelić et al., Hannah Dräger et al.). 

Regulations typically require low THC content in hemp products, but variability in product formulation and labeling practices means consumers should choose reputable brands. That’s why Sunny Dayz prioritizes transparency, consistency, and quality. With a reliable dosage of 4mg or 8mg of THC per can, Sunny Dayz offers a predictable, balanced experience you can trust. No guesswork, no surprises—just a refreshing way to enjoy cannabis in beverage form.
