It’s hemp THC. This isn’t 5mg of 80% cannabis THC gummy at the legal dispensary.
No but it’s still THC that’s extracted and concentrated. I can tell the difference but to non users it definitely has an effect.

It’s my understanding that Hemp THC is the same THC at marijuana. It’s the percent by volume of weight of plant that differentiates the two. Hemp contain less than 0.3% THC while marijuana contains anywhere from 0.4 to upwards of 20%. It’s just a matter how how much volume of plant you need (hemp or marijuana) to source 5mg.

I think what you’re saying is correct, but it’s the potency of the THC that matters, not the volume. I don’t believe you can achieve the potency from a hemp plant vs a cannabis plant.

Same plant, different species. Like a great Dane and a chihuahua are both dogs.

I have zero first-hand experience here, but… isn’t THC a molecule? Aren’t you saying some H2O is more potent than other H2O?

Um, no.

The chemical makeup of THC is the exact same. Hemp is cannabis.

They could make these beverages from male plants that don't flower. Their female counterparts would produce the flower you buy at a dispensary.

There are multiple isomers of THC (e.g.- Delta 9, Delta 8...) but I'm still confused since Delta 9 is supposed to illegal over .3% and these claim to be Delta-9, right?

Cool idea, but not $6/12oz cool, sheesh. Especially if it takes 4-5 (or 100) to feel anything!

I feel like this is a supplement for people that are going to be getting high throughout the day/night that don’t want to mix alcohol with cannabis but still want to “hold a can” for lack of a better descriptor.

You‘d have to drink like six or seven before you even feel anything.
Disagree. 2.5-5mg is the perfect dose for most people, especially if they've never used. It's not enough to land you on the moon, but I don't think that's the intention of these beverages.

I am pretty much a daily user, and I feel a noticeable effect from a 5mg can.

I feel like people reading this thread are in for a rude awakening because of idiots who have no idea what they're talking about. This is the same chemical you get from gummies in Colorado.

I've seen enough people have terrible times because they take way too much their first time and swear off weed for good because "I don't like the way I feel".

New users need to start with 5mg, and wait AT LEAST an hour.

I first used cannabis in 2001 and have had phases where I used it fairly regularly (late high school and at ISU). It’s pretty infrequent these days, but I’m far from inexperienced, and 5MG is absolutely plenty for me.

On almost every single edible product I've ever seen from legal recreational states there's a line that says something along the lines of: For new/inexperienced users, try 1/2 first then wait an hour. It's clear there's massive interest in marijuana/THC in Iowa. Being first to can a THC drink is a pretty major accomplishment IMO.

I’m hoping that Pulpit Rock follows suit here soon. I live up that way and almost nothing from DSM breweries makes it up here.
