Review: Strawberry Lemonade Drink Mix by Vibations
As the cannabis market continues to mature, more products that feature cannabis as part of a wellness-oriented blend, instead of the main attractions, are coming to market. Vibations drink mixes have adopted this strategy using vitamins, minerals, and even caffeine alongside THC. I recently picked up the Vibations Strawberry Lemonade Drink Mix to review.
Vibations Strawberry Lemonade Drink Mix comes as a 10-pack of mixes with 10mg of THC and 30mg of caffeine per pouch. The ingredients are citric acid, ascorbic acid, natural flavor, potassium citrate , monk fruit extract, sodium citrate, guarana extract, vegetable juice extract for color, cellulose gum, magnesium oxide, L-theanine, cannabis oil, silica powder, zinc oxide , Vitamin B6, sunflower lecithin, Vitamin D3
Designed to mix into a standard 16oz water bottle, the cotton candy pink powder began to dissolve as soon as it hit the water, turning the entire bottle a translucent electric pink after a quick shake. The Vibations pouch had almost twice as much powder as a standard drink mix, requiring a couple pre-mix sips to make some headroom to prevent overflow.
The tangy scent of artificial strawberry lemonade hit my nose as soon as I opened the package. The aroma only got stronger as I emptied it into the water. The flavor carried the same sweet-and-tangy berry lemonade note at the top followed by an electrolyte saltiness similar to the aftertaste on most mass-market sports drinks. There was just a hint of cannabis style bitterness, but this was mostly cloaked by the electrolyte blend. There was no cling to the flavor with a clean palate returning immediately.
The effects hit quickly, becoming noticeable by the 20-minute mark, and induced a peaceful and serene headspace that wiped away my anxiety without changing my energy levels. The calm and collected headspace hit above the 10mg dosage, an effect I attributed to the L-theanine and caffeine addition, a combo I’ve used before. Physically, a wave of “floaty” lightness came and went with much less staying power than the mental shift that lasted well past the hour mark. Overall, I enjoyed the drinkable flavor and the highly functional experiential profile.
