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.
People who have no clue or people who have a high tolerance and don't understand they're in the minority.

One 5MG can would give me a similar level of intoxication as 6-8 beers.
Yep I typically drink one of these then have a couple beers and it's a perfect night. Way healthier than drink a few beers in a night to catch a buzz. Probably saves me money in the long run too and I feel way better the next day

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.
It wouldn't surprise me. I think it's still illegal to produce the product in Iowa, so Lua's are actually brewed by Fair State in Minnesota.

I was mostly joking about the 4-5 to feel it (making fun of Jonas), but I still think they're a rip off. Only costs ~$3/tablet for the 20mg THC tablets that Bud & Marys sell. I'm sure it's not quite the same feeling, but $6-7 per can for 5mg is crazy.

I find that hard to believe (as someone who occasionally vapes/uses edibles 'medically'). Are you specifically referring to these Lua drinks, or something you've had elsewhere?

Like I said in the post I just made, I was making fun of Jonas with my 4-5 comment, but no way I believe a 5mg THC can of non-alcoholic beverage is the equivalent to 6-8 beers. I think a regular cannabis THC 10mg gummie would compare to 6-8 light beers.

I’ve only taken 10MG at a time once, and I was unpleasantly intoxicated. 6-8 beers is a more pleasant intoxication.

My alcohol tolerance has always been on the high side and my THC tolerance on the low side.

I drink much less every day. 10mg is OK for me, 5 really doesn't do much.

That’s about the same price as a regular beer at Lua though right?

I like drinking THC more than taking a gummy. I've had a couple really tasty seltzers and sipping on it vs taking a gummy is nice because it doesn't hit you all at once. I've found the seltzer hits me quicker and doesn't last as long which is nice imo. Sometimes it gets too late to take a gummy on a weekday or they last a long time

You're probably right - I would hope those are at least 16 oz pours compared to these THC drinks being only 12. But yeah, when you put it that way it seems less insane.

Not to hijack but can anyone recommend any of the gummies off of Amazon. Most of the reviews make them seem kinda sketchy. I’d love to find something that actually helps me sleep.

Not Amazon, but someone earlier recommended the gummies from here: https://skyhighd9.com/

I'm considering, but the $9 shipping has me hesitating. Still cheaper than Lua drinks, I suppose.

I've really enjoyed the ElyxrLA gummies you can get downtown Des Moines, but you can also order online.
