Cannabis businesses in Texas continue to innovate with new hemp-derived products for consumers to fawn over, and THC seltzers and drink mixes are currently all the rage.
LoneStarLive.com was sent free samples of Hometown Hero CBD’s new fast-acting THC drink mix, and we have a few takeaways for those interested in trying out the Austin, Texas-based company’s hemp-derived beverages.
With so many products on the market, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for consumers to decipher which products are worth the hype. What sets Hometown Hero’s THC drink mix apart from seltzers and other hemp-derived drinks at stores and breweries across the Lone Star State is the fact it’s made with nano THC.
Hometown Hero previously explained to LoneStarLive.com that this is an extremely small THC particle that takes far less time to absorb in the body. Translation: In theory, this means that consumers should feel the effects in a shorter amount of time than most hemp-derived edibles, like delta-9 gummies. But marketing language is one thing and real-life use is another.
After trying Hometown Hero’s THC drink mix, it seems the product lives up to the promise. But if you’re expecting the same punch as a full-blown marijuana edible or a hemp-derived edible, keep reading.
Most people who are trying hemp-derived THC drinks are hoping to feel some type of, ahem, relief. Whether it’s a calmer mind or feeling less physical pain depends on the person. When it comes to a lot of THC or CBD seltzers, however, consumers tend to be underwhelmed by the results.
In terms of Hometown Hero’s fast-acting THC drink mix, hear me when I say this is not an issue. When you order a package of Hometown Hero’s drink mix, you’ll receive 10 individual servings in five tropical flavors (packs contain two of each flavor).
Each serving contains 15 milligrams of fast-acting, hemp-derived delta-9 THC. Most THC seltzers on the market such as Five’s infused THC seltzer contain 2 to 5 milligrams of THC, which is another way Hometown Hero’s drink mix differs from the masses. Due to Hometown Hero’s high content of fast-acting THC, I was able to feel its effects within 15 minutes.
And I have to say, it was a different feeling than I’ve experienced from hemp-derived consumables or full-blown recreational marijuana treats in legal states — and I mean that in the best way possible. The first time I tried one serving of Hometown Hero’s THC drink mix, I felt a wave of calm wash over me within 15 minutes of finishing the drink. Mind you, I chose to down the drink pretty quickly the first time I gave it a go. This probably isn’t advisable for most, but c’est la vie.
The second time I tried the drink mix (one serving, once again, but in a different flavor), I opted to take my time and enjoy each sip of the Kool-Aid-like drink that packs a cannabis punch for about 15 minutes. While the effects were noticeably subdued from the first taste test, the drink was still effective at slowing down my always-on and always-anxious brain.
Aside from the clear effectiveness of Hometown Hero’s fast-acting THC drink mix, the flavors were refreshing and delicious. Being the ‘90s baby I am, I couldn’t help but reminisce on the good ol’ days while sipping this THC drink as it tasted freakishly similar to Kool-Aid Bursts and Squeeze It drinks that were wildly popular in the ‘90s.
As the added cherry on top, these drink mixes also are packed with electrolytes and vitamin B12.
If you’re looking for a hemp-derived drink mix that’s effective and equally delicious, you should consider giving Hometown Hero’s THC drink mix a try. This drink mix is intended for those ages 21 and older, according to the product’s packaging.
In line with most Hometown Hero products, the packaging is extremely childproof — and in my experience, slightly adultproof, too. (Yes, scissors were used to open the pack to access the individual servings.)
Each pack, which includes 10 individual servings, costs $44 and can purchased on Hometown Hero’s website here.
Not all hemp-derived drink mixes are effective, but this one checks out. Read More
