Summer '25 Is the Coming Out Party for THC Drinks 

If the summer of '25 had an AMSR, it would be crackling carbonation and the clink of cans. Move over hard sodas, because THC drinks are ready to claim the crown for the "Drink of the Summer." 

Remember the days when Nancy Reagan proclaimed "Just Say No" while the War on Drugs raged on? Fast forward a few decades and now THC sodas are stocked in boutique fridges, being sipped on patios, and even getting a nod from ABC News. That's right, the same outlet that reported the highs and lows of the 80s is now hyping the rise of THC drinks. Oh, how the times have changed! 

ABC News recently highlighted the explosive popularity of THC sodas, dubbing them the perfect alternative for those seeking a buzz without the burn of alcohol. These “gardening drinks” are blossoming in more ways than one.   

Curious? Here’s why you’ll want to crack open a THC soda this summer and how Green Monké is making the party even better. 

Why the Buzz Around THC Drinks? 

What Are THC Drinks? 

Essentially, THC drinks are fizzy drinks infused with THC (that’s delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, for those of you wondering), the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Think bubbly beverages, but with a little extra sparkle. 

They’re light, refreshing, and available in a range of THC potencies—from subtle, sessionable drinks to higher doses for seasoned connoisseurs. The best part? They’re a game-changer for anyone looking to ditch alcohol without sacrificing the social experience of sipping a drink with friends. 

The Benefits 

Here’s what makes THC drinks the new patio MVP: 

• Hangover-Free Good Times: No pounding headaches or regretful mornings. THC drinks offer an enjoyable buzz without the hangover. 
• Low Calories, Low Sugar: Many brands, like Green Monké, keep the sugar and calorie count to a minimum, making them a great choice for health-conscious drinkers. 
• Social and Fun: THC sodas are perfect for barbecues, backyard hangs, or just chilling by the fire pit. 
• Customizable Effects: With various THC and CBD combinations, you can tailor your experience. Prefer a relaxed vibe? Want to feel more sociable? There’s a drink for that. 

Starting Low and Going Slow 

If you’re thinking about trying THC drinks, you've probably heard the golden mantra at the end of the ABC News article: “Start low and go slow.” 

We couldn’t agree more, which is why Green Monké designs its drinks with newcomers in mind. Each can contains a balanced ratio of THC and CBD, offering a light, mellow buzz that’s ideal for those just dipping their toes into the world of THC. 

Our drinks are low-dose, meaning they’re sessionable. Go ahead and crack open a second can during your afternoon hang (you’ll want to anyway, because they taste so good!). Plus, they’re only 5 grams of sugar per pop, so you can sip guilt-free. 

Think of Green Monké as your laid-back cannabis concierge. We make it easy, approachable, and most of all, fun to try THC drinks for the first time. 

Turning the Tide on Social Taboos 

Here’s the real kicker about the rise of THC sodas. For decades, cannabis products were stigmatized, keeping cannabis confined to the shadows. Yet today, THC-infused beverages are being embraced by a wide range of audiences—from curious millennials to health-conscious Gen Zers to trend-setting foodies. 

The narrative has done a complete 180. What was once demonized in anti-drug campaigns is now the darling of backyard soirées. Can you imagine Nancy Reagan sipping on a THC soda at the beach? Us neither, but hey, you’ve got to admit it’s a great visual. 

Jokes aside, the mainstream shift reflects a cultural evolution. People are seeking alternatives to alcohol that align with their wellness goals, taste preferences, and desire for authentic experiences. THC drinks check all the boxes, making them a symbol of progress, freedom, and fun in the modern era.
