3 Ways To Enjoy Your THC St. Patrick’s Shake

Since the St. Patrick’s Shake is associated with… well, St. Paddy's Day, there is truly no better time to indulge than on March 17th. Plus, the addition of a little hemp-derived THC means that you can forgo all those green beers in favor of alcohol-free revelry.

Hot Summer Days

Who doesn't love to cool down with a milkshake when it's hot and humid out? Switch it up this summer with this chill, minty recipe. Mint contains a compound called menthol, which actually creates a cooling sensation. The THC will help you completely chill out.

Extra-Lucky After-Work Treat

At the end of the long work week, it's time to put your feet up. What better way to relax on a Friday night than with a THC-infused treat? Vanilla ice cream, a dash of mint, and a bit of our Mint Delta-8 THC Tincture or DASH THC Powder may be the perfect after-dinner combination for releasing all those built-up workweek stressors.

“Which THC Should I Go With?”

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a family of psychoactive compounds derived from cannabis plants. There are several different forms of THC in different mediums, which will play a role in the overall effects of the shake you make.

Nano Delta-9 THC

Usually, when you run into the term “THC,” it’s in reference to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or just “Delta-9” for short. This is the classic form of THC and the most popular. The term “nano” ahead of a THC variant means that it’s nano-emulsified. Nano-emulsification means that the THC has been broken down into a smaller particle, making it faster to absorb than traditional THC.

Generally, the effects of nano THC are felt within ~15 minutes, but are milder compared to those of traditional Delta-9. The terms “nano THC,” “fast-acting THC,” and “water-soluble THC” mean the same thing.

Some of the effects of nano Delta-9 THC include:

Heightened senses
Feelings of creativity & wonder
Giggles
Calmness

If you’re experienced with cannabis, or if you want to feel this shake’s “magic” a bit faster, DASH is the way you want to go for this recipe.

Why DASH?

There are plenty of ways to infuse Delta-9 into your recipes these days, from THC Syrups to THC drops. But DASH, being unflavored, sugar-free, and fast-acting, has virtually unlimited uses.

At a precise 10mg per packet, this THC powder is an approachable serving for those wanting to elevate everyday moments. Its convenient, discreet packaging means you can slip one into your pocket for an on-the-go treat, or whenever you need a boost from THC. Plus, DASH has magnesium glycinate and 100% of your DV for vitamin B12 to help you relax, without leaving you sluggish.

Delta-8 THC

If you’re familiar with Delta-9 THC (the primary active component of cannabis), you'll find the effects from Delta-8 are much milder than Delta-9 THC.

What does this lighter potency usually feel like? From those who've tried it, you'll often hear that they feel:

A sensation of well-being
Calmness
Mild euphoria
Relaxation

Of course, like all cannabinoids, the effects can vary from person to person. What feels mild to one person may feel stronger to another. If our THC St. Patrick shake recipe is your first time trying this cannabinoid, stick with the low potency to try it out first.

Why a Tincture?

Tinctures are one of the easiest ways to make infused edibles. Compared with cannabis butter (or CBD butter), which requires a bit of preparation before you even begin to make the edible, tinctures are streamlined. They are a ready-to-add ingredient promising no mess and no clean-up.

Many people also find tinctures an easy-to-enjoy format. It's straightforward to achieve the experience you’re looking for. As you familiarize yourself with the relaxing effects, the dropper and formulation make it easy to start experimenting with serving size—one 0.25ml drop at a time — until you find a level that works for you.

We'd also like to mention that we make our tinctures with 100 percent MCT oil derived from organically grown coconuts (medium-chain triglycerides extracted from coconut oil). This format helps boost the bioavailability of Delta-8 (and other cannabinoids) because cannabinoids are fat-soluble. A tincture that combines Delta-8 with a fatty component (in this case, MCT oil) makes it easier for our bodies to absorb the cannabinoids.
