It’s not lost on us that our current era of vague cannabis legality (made possible by the 2018 Farm Bill and its attendant loopholes) is veering dangerously near to a close. Tons of very successful businesses have been built on the foundation of these legal loopholes, and now, well, they’re panicking. The savvier brands, though, are pivoting.

Cann, purveyor of delightful microdosed THC beverages, is among the brands that are determined to survive the transition, come hell or high THC-infused water. As proof, they recently launched a new line of THC-free beverages dubbed 0mg, with zero milligrams of cannabinoids, but lots of milligrams of other shit—including electrolytes, passion flower, L-theanine, and more—that promise to elevate your mood and energy despite the lack of more intoxicating infusions.

I am an outspoken fan of the brand’s THC beverages, so I thought I’d give 0mg a try and see if it has a place in my daily routine, even if it can’t get me ever-so-slightly-perfectly high like the original product.
