How THC Soda Is Revolutionising the Cannabis Drink Industry
THC sodas — bold, sweet, often retro-styled cans — are the more "fun" cousin of THC seltzers. They've taken the cannabis drink market in a totally different direction. Less wellness, more 90s-style indulgence. Here's why they matter and what the UK situation looks like.
How They Differ From Seltzers
| Feature | Seltzers | Sodas |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 5-20 | 100-180 |
| Sugar | 0g | 25-40g |
| Flavour | Light, fruity | Bold, classic cola/root beer |
| Vibe | Wellness | Nostalgia, fun |
| Onset effect | Faster (lower sugar = faster absorption) | Slower (sugar slows absorption slightly) |
Top US THC Soda Brands (Reference)
These are mostly unavailable in the UK but worth knowing:
- Keef Cola — The OG. Classic cola, root beer, lemon. 10mg cans.
- Cann Sodas — Bold tropical and herbal flavours. 5mg microdose.
- Pabst Blue Ribbon — Yes, the beer brand makes THC sodas now.
- Wynk — Low-dose 2.5mg THC + 2.5mg CBD blend.
UK Availability
UK supply of THC sodas is limited:
- Genuine Delta-9 THC sodas remain illegal
- Some specialist UK retailers carry imported Delta-8 sodas (grey area)
- CBD-only "soda-style" drinks exist (legal) but lack the THC effects
If you're in the UK and want a soda experience with relaxation, your closest legal option is a CBD soft drink with adaptogens.
THC sodas represent the fun, indulgent end of the cannabis drinks market — less Goop, more nostalgia. They're slower-onset due to sugar, calorie-heavy, but genuinely enjoyable. The UK market doesn't have proper Delta-9 sodas yet, but Delta-8 alternatives exist for the adventurous. A treat, not a habit.
