More and more, I find myself drinking my medication, either by way of tinctures dropped into my beverage, as a tea, or in the case of today’s review, sipped casually while sunning myself under the bright Southern California sun. Cannabis Quenchers are the ideal way to keep cool and medicated on those hot Orange County days. Best when served ice cold and enjoyed while reposing under a canopy of leaves in your backyard or bathed by the sun down the shore, Cannabis Quenchers embody the relaxed spirit that makes our county one of the nation’s largest vacation destinations.
Cannabis Quenchers come in a variety of flavors, each with no added sugar to help avoid the sugar crash other edibles leave you with. Their most traditional flavor, lemonade, is puckeringly sour. A delightful respite from a hot day, it is particularly good over ice or, as we discovered around the office, blended with ice for a medicated frostee freeze. For a softer, less acidic manifestation of their traditional lemonade, try the strawberry lemonade. In the running for our favorite flavor, and for good reason, the subtly strawberry accent makes a smooth accent to a fresh grilled burger on a hot day. Much less sweet than the other flavors we sampled, the grape Cannabis Quencher was the easiest drinking of the flavors. A very true grape taste with nearly no trace of cannabis, this is the flavor most likely to become how you medicate daily. The tropical choice of the Cannabis Quencher line is their mango. Lusciously sweet, this island treat demands a little paper umbrella and a place next to your pool. The flavor that most captured our interest, though, was the cherry. Just a bit sweet and startlingly tart in the aftertaste, it is a very natural cherry. The most interesting twist on cannabis drinks, we took to mixing our cherry Cannabis Quenchers with ice and Sprite for a sort of pot spritzer.
The 75 mg of THC per bottle is plenty for most moderate doses, and low dose patients will be able to stretch more sessions per bottle. We split ours into two 8 ounce servings, filling cups of ice to maximize the taste, which is sharper when served cold. The effects of cannabis drinks take hold much quicker than traditional edibles, making them a popular choice among patients. The high from Cannabis Quenchers is always uplifting, engaging, and cerebral before settling into a full body relief from a combination of psychological and physical symptoms.
