Understanding THC Beverages
There is no single right amount. Start with the recommended serving — CANOPI is 6 mg THC in one ounce or 30 ml — and wait before a second pour.
The answer depends on several factors, including your tolerance, experience with cannabis, environment, and the type of occasion you are planning. Starting low and moving slowly is generally the best approach. We suggest THC mocktail recipes be made using a measured pourer for a consistent experience.
Like smoking or vaping, THC drinks may be consumed gradually. CANOPI invites sipping, sharing, and coming back for more at your own pace.
THC beverages may also differ depending on dosage, metabolism, whether you have eaten recently, your cannabis experience, and the environment you are in.
Because everyone responds differently, there is no universal perfect amount.

- Built for sharing at a hang or the dinner table
- Suited to social settings

That format can vary widely from person to person, but many consumers appreciate the flexibility of drink formats compared to more immediate cannabis consumption methods.
