Sip Smart: THC Serving Tips for a Safe Pour
Although there may be far less risk of hangover from a non-alcoholic bar cart than a boozy one, it's still important to enjoy your THC-infused mocktails responsibly, because a few too many glasses of THC can begin to turn a fun social event into a pretty uncomfortable one.
Sure, the side effects from too much cannabis are usually mild and short-lived. Still, nobody wants to suddenly find themselves experiencing the most intense side effects from THC — especially in a social setting.
Whether you’re just serving yourself or others, keep the following guidelines in mind when you’re behind the mocktail bar cart:
Start Low, Go Slow:
The golden rule for all cannabis is to start with a low serving and increase slowly. If you plan to imbibe with more than one mocktail, wait at least 30 to 60 minutes before going back for a second serving.
Recommended Starting Serving:
Although everyone has different tolerance levels, a good starting point is a mocktail with 2 to 5 mg per serving. This should ensure the experience stays relaxing and social, and avoid the effects becoming too intense.
Label Everything:
Make it very clear which drinks are infused and which aren't. Use cocktail picks, tags, or even separate glassware if needed.
Offer Non-Infused and Non-Alcoholic Options:
Not everyone wants a social buzz, whether it's from cannabis or alcohol. Always provide zero-proof, non-infused mocktail options so everyone at the gathering feels included. It's also a great way for people to keep hydrated in between mocktails.
Skip the Booze:
Mixing THC and alcohol can intensify effects and lead to unpredictable or uncomfortable results. If alcohol is also present at the event, you may want to educate the crowd about the risks associated with mixing the two.
