While there’s been an explosion of new options in the cannabis-infused drink mix category, most of these options have been limited to lower dosages. MariMed imprint label Vibations has recently expanded its drink mix line with a new high dose version. I recently picked up a pack of Vibations High Dose Lemon Lime Drink Mixes to review.

Vibations High Dose Lemon Lime Drink Mixes come as two packets of drink mix, each with 50mg of THC and 5mg of THCv. Each packet contained a superfine, sunflower-yellow powder that transformed the water into a bright-yellow-lemonade tone. It was easy to fit each packet into the recommended 16oz bottle without displacing any water. The powder began to disappear as soon as it hit the liquid, and it took only a couple quick shakes to completely dissolve.

A sharp and bright aroma of tangy lemon and lime filled the air as soon as I opened a packet. The water seemed to curb some of the sharper notes, and the flavor profile softened in comparison to the aroma. The top end was a familiar sweet artificial lemonade tone that could have passed for Minute Maid, while the back end added a sharper lime acidity that cut through the initial sweetness. Surprisingly, at this higher dose, there was no indication of the cannabis infusion’s flavor.

The drink mix was true to the fast-acting label with my headspace starting to shift within 10 minutes. Bright, expansive, and optimistic, the THCv added an energetic component that most edibles lack. I found a clarity of thought and focus at the peak that kept me locked into the task at hand for almost an hour. Physically, I felt lightened to the point of floating across the ground, and it was easier to keep up with my energetic toddlers as my muscles were relaxed but ready to move. Overall, the Vibations High Dose delivered one of the most sativa-like experiences I’ve had in an edible.

The ingredients are citric acid, natural flavor, vegetable juice extract, potassium citrate, monk fruit extract, sodium citrate, cannabis oil, THCv isolate, cellulose gum, L-theanine, magnesium oxide, stevia extract, vitamin B6, vitamin D3, zinc oxide, and sunflower oil.
