THC drink mixes make the most sense when you want a weed drink, but don’t want to carry around a bunch of THC bottles and cans.

That is the basic appeal of Canna River’s D9 Drink Mix. You get a small jar of little drink packets instead of hauling around a 12-pack or 14-pack of THC beverages that basically add up to the same total amount of THC (150mg).

It definitely has that familiar, nostalgic feel of a Pixy Stix you’d throw back as a kid, except this one is meant for adults. Each drink packet adds 15mg hemp-derived Delta-9 THC to whatever you’re drinking. That makes it convenient, but it also means the dose deserves some respect. 15mg THC is a real edible-style dose, even if it comes in a cute little packet.

I mixed it into drinks that complemented the flavors the Variety Pack includes: Berry Lemonade, Concord Grape, Fuzzy Peach, Melon Cucumber, and thankfully, Flavor Free for that extra, much needed creative drink mixing freedom. It dissolved easily and kicked in for me around 40 minutes later.

The effect was solid: mellow, calming, relaxing, and very much more “cocktail replacement” than “cute little daytime microdose” you see most brands offering. This is not a beginner product just because it comes in a tiny packet. 15mg THC is still 15mg THC.

The timing of me coming across this product is impeccable too. From June 26 through July 4, Canna River is running a Buy One, Get One 85% Off deal on the D9 Drink Mix, which makes sense if you’re stocking up for summer fun under the sun like barbecues, pool days, fireworks, or even traveling out because carrying packets is easier than hauling cans.

Canna River’s D9 Drink Mix is best for intermediate and experienced THC consumers who want a portable THC drink mix that actually feels like a real dose.

Each packet has 15mg Delta-9 THC, which makes it stronger than a lot of canned THC drinks and definitely stronger than the 2.5mg or 5mg “social sipping” lane. For me, it kicked in around 40 minutes and landed as a mellow, calming, relaxing buzz that felt better suited for late afternoon, evening, or replacing a cocktail than trying to power through a busy day.

The packets are easy to mix, easy to travel with, and more convenient than dragging a bunch of cans somewhere. I also like that they’re zero sugar, zero calories, vegan, gluten-free, full-panel tested, and made by a reputable brand.

Buy it if: you want a portable and discreet THC drink mix for barbecues, pool days, travel, or a........
