Unflavored THC mixers may not sound exciting, but they’re pretty useful.

You squeeze a little tube into whatever you’re already drinking and suddenly your Sprite, iced tea, mocktail, or seltzer becomes a weed drink. No can and flavor commitment, and no “I guess I’m drinking blood orange again because every THC beverage brand has decided that’s a mature drink flavor.”

cbdMD’s Delta-9 THC Drink Mixer is basically that idea in a tiny, skinny tubular bottle. Each suggested serving has 3mg Delta-9 THC 3mg CBG, and the whole tube has 28 servings. It’s also zero calories, vegan, gluten-free, and unflavored, which makes it feel more like an additive than a drink on its own.

The CBG is what made this more interesting to me, despite it not being on the product packaging itself. I found that info on their online listing. CBG is sometimes called the “mother cannabinoid” because it is a precursor to other cannabinoids like THC and CBD. It doesn’t get you high the way THC does, but it can add a more balancing, clear-headed, slightly energizing feel to a formula.

At the suggested serving, I didn’t feel much. So I did what people with tolerance do and added more. I may have ended up closer to a quad shot, which finally gave me something to feel around the 30-minute mark: a mellow little tingle, clear enough for daytime, not euphoric, not sleepy, and not exactly uplifting in the way I expected from the CBG. More like a functional and focused calm hiding inside a Sprite.

cbdMD’s Delta-9 THC Drink Mixer is best for people who like controlling the dose and choosing or making their own drink.

At 3mg THC 3mg CBG per serving, the suggested dose is very light. I didn’t feel much from one serving, but a heavier squeeze gave me a mellow, clear, functional effect after about 30 minutes. It didn’t feel euphoric or super uplifting, but it did feel calm without making me tired.

Buy it if: you want an unflavored THC mixer that lets you turn regular drinks into mild THC drinks.

Skip it if: you want a ready-to-drink can, a strong high from one serving, or something that disappears perfectly clear into your drink.

Best part: the dose is customizable, and the THC CBG combo stays clear and functional.

Biggest drawback: the mixer is white, chalky-looking, and slightly thick, so it needs extra mixing and can get weird if you overdo it.

How I Tested cbdMD Delta-9 THC Drink Mixer

I mixed this into Sprite because I wanted to see how the unflavored version acted in something with actual flavor and sugar.

The mixer came out white, chalky, and a little viscous, which was not exactly discreet at first. It looked more obvious than I expected,........
