CBD (cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid that promotes balance and calm, often combined with THC for controlled effects. In drinks, CBD can work alone for non-intoxicating wellness or with THC to create balanced experiences. CBD moderates THC's intensity while adding its own benefits. It interacts with your endocannabinoid system differently than THC, supporting equilibrium rather than creating highs.

A 1:1 ratio provides balanced euphoria with calm, ideal for social situations. 2:1 CBD:THC offers mild elevation with enhanced relaxation. 3:1 or higher delivers subtle effects with CBD dominance. 1:2 THC:CBD creates stronger highs with some balance. Pure CBD provides wellness without intoxication. Each ratio serves different needs, from functional daytime use to evening relaxation.

For pure CBD, start with 10-25mg for wellness benefits. In ratio drinks, try 5mg CBD with 5mg THC for balanced effects. Higher CBD ratios like 10mg CBD with 2.5mg THC offer milder experiences. Adjust based on THC tolerance and desired effects. CBD doesn't increase intoxication, just moderation. Wait 90 minutes before taking more to assess full effects.

Ratio drinks like 1:1 or 2:1 CBD:THC provide gentler, more manageable effects than pure THC beverages. CBD reduces THC's anxiety and paranoia while maintaining pleasant euphoria. These balanced drinks offer longer-lasting, smoother experiences with less intensity. Perfect for those wanting cannabis benefits without overwhelming highs. Higher CBD ratios mean milder psychoactive effects with enhanced relaxation.

CBD enhances and balances other cannabinoids through the entourage effect. With THC, it creates controlled highs. With CBN, it amplifies relaxation for sleep. With CBG, it provides calm focus. These combinations offer targeted effects beyond single cannabinoids. Brands craft specific ratios for different experiences, from energizing blends to sleep formulas, maximizing each cannabinoid's benefits.

CBD drinks typically begin working within 15-30 minutes, whether alone or with THC. Ratio drinks may feel different than pure THC, with CBD's calming effects emerging first. The liquid format ensures faster absorption than edibles. Peak effects occur around 45-90 minutes. CBD may extend THC's duration while smoothing its intensity curve. Individual metabolism affects exact timing.

Pure CBD drinks are non-intoxicating and generally safe for work. However, any drinks containing THC will cause impairment and positive drug tests. Even legal hemp-derived THC in ratio drinks affects performance. Full-spectrum CBD may contain trace THC. Check product labels carefully and avoid any THC-containing drinks during work hours or if subject to testing.

Avoid combining CBD drinks with alcohol without medical guidance. CBD and especially THC combinations interact unpredictably with alcohol, potentially causing excessive sedation. CBD may affect how your liver processes alcohol. Many people use these drinks as alcohol alternatives for social relaxation. Always consult healthcare providers about potential interactions before mixing substances.

Pure CBD effects last 3-5 hours, while CBD/THC combinations may extend to 4-6 hours. CBD can prolong THC's benefits while reducing harsh comedowns. The ratio affects duration, with higher CBD content often creating longer, gentler experiences. Effects taper gradually rather than dropping suddenly. Regular use of pure CBD may provide cumulative benefits beyond single servings.

Hemp-derived CBD drinks with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC are federally legal. However, drinks with higher THC content or specific ratios face state restrictions. Some states limit all cannabinoid products regardless of ratios. Zazzy only ships to states where our CBD products are permitted. Check our shipping page for current availability as regulations vary significantly.

Pure CBD shouldn't cause failed tests, but any drinks containing THC will likely trigger positive results. Even legal hemp-derived THC in ratio drinks can accumulate in your system. Full-spectrum CBD products carry risk from trace THC. Standard tests cannot distinguish between hemp and marijuana THC. If subject to testing, avoid all THC-containing products, even balanced ratios.

We require comprehensive third-party testing verifying exact CBD content and cannabinoid ratios. COAs must confirm CBD potency, THC levels, and ratio accuracy. We evaluate whether products deliver advertised effects and check for contaminants. Our team personally tests ratio drinks to ensure balanced experiences. Only brands with consistent, accurate formulations join our curated marketplace.
