This is all just ******* great. Now Iowa will never get REAL dispensary weed because it'll be "bad for business". SMH.
Do you go 30 seconds without having a meltdown about things you can’t control?Eventually Iowa will be forced by the amount of money being lost. When it goes off the Federal schedule, red states will be forced to come around.

Meanwhile it’s low key easy to get stoned legally in Iowa.

You just can’t bring yourself to acknowledge this is a cool thing that’s working really well for a Des Moines business, and making central Iowa a better place to live.

I don’t get the knock on these from certain people. I’ve got plenty of “legal state” or “real” products and I love these things too. I’d consider myself experienced and these play a great role depending on the day or activity, etc. I don’t really notice a difference between these or anything else.

The 5 and 10s are perfect in certain situations.

I view these as being a great first step to legalizing in Iowa.

Exactly. When society doesn’t crumble over THC seltzers, it gets that much harder for Republican politicians to oppose it.

I strongly prefer the hemp derived THC seltzers I’ve from non-fully legal states to fully legal edibles anyhow.

Is that true? The THC/CBD content per can seems comparable to what you’d find in a low-dose edible.
I grabbed some last week. The pineapple one with 10 MG TCH and

I tried the Pineapple one with 5 THC and 10 CBD and yes I'd agree it is very similar to a standard 10 MG THC edible. Since you don't ingest it all at once like an edible, the effect comes on slower.

I liked it but it is spendy. $25 for a 4 pack at Local Craft Cellar in Cedar Rapids.

I'm still laughing that the primary spokesperson for the Des Moines Police said "you'll have to drink 100 of these to feel something"...
Lol - let's have him on KXNO an hour after he drinks 2 10mg "kites" and we'll be the judge of that statement.

I mean it all depends on your tolerance level right? For some people who smoke/vape every day these drinks are probably a big ole nothing-burger.

However, I've heard for some people, their livers are so efficient that they essentially detoxify most of the THC before it even hits the bloodstream.

Had an acquaintance mention his recent interview in Des Moines (Church Choir Director) and was mightly surprised by what DM has to offer. Did not get the job but raved about Lua beer! No idea which one but he wants me to bring him back more if I ever get to Ames.

I have zero experience with these types of products. This afternoon, I drank a can of the 2.5 mg THC and felt nothing. I did drink it extremely slowly over the course of two hours since I had no experience. I have a high tolerance for alcohol and drink daily although I’m not sure that plays a part here.

I didn’t really like the Orange Mango taste but it wasn’t offensive.

Try a 5. Those work pretty well for me. I usually finish mine within 30 min
