CBD Drinks

Short answer: Yes, industrial hemp-derived CBD drinks are legal in all 50 U.S. states. Longer answer: Under The 2018 Farm Bill, the U.S. Federal Government declared that all industrial hemp-derived products were legal for sale. This applies to both online and retail distribution, though some states (such as South Dakota) have restricted sale in brick-and-mortar storefronts. CBD products can still be legally purchased online, however, even in states that have such brick-and-mortar restrictions. All of CBD Choice’s beverage products are carefully curated to ensure that they meet Federal legal standards, and all are legal for online purchase in any state.

As with all other CBD products, the concentration of CBD in infused beverages can vary widely. These variations come with the beverage’s brand, volume, and beverage type, and it is difficult to make accurate generalizations about the state of CBD beverages, which are rapidly expanding in the U.S. marketplace. However, CBD Choice is careful to provide accurate and useful product descriptions for every single CBD product on offer. Be sure to take a look at these descriptions for each product you’re considering; with this info in hand, you’ll be able to make a more confident and informed decision, ensuring that you’re able to get exactly what you need to address your unique health and wellness needs.

As of now, only minimal formal research has been done on the effects of alcohol taken with CBD. However, research does show that simultaneous use of CBD and alcohol can result in meaningful impairment of motor performance. Of course, use of alcohol alone can cause this sort of impairment; indeed, that same study reported that “The combination of alcohol plus CBD resulted in significantly lower blood alcohol levels compared to alcohol given alone,” and that “there were few differences observed between the pharmacological effects” of alcohol alone vs. alcohol with CBD. As always with alcohol consumption, moderation is key. Over-consumption and/or regular use of alcohol can have lasting negative effects on your health, your mood, and your general well-being. Because of the clinical evidence on the use of alcohol with CBD, and on users’ reported feelings of relaxation while using CBD alone, consumption of alcohol with CBD should be done responsibly. And as always with alcohol use, users should absolutely avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until the effects have fully passed

In coffeeshops, storefronts, and homes, CBD-infused coffee is rapidly becoming one of the most popular ways for users to get their daily-dose of CBD. Many users have reported that CBD-infused coffee actually helps to calm the stomach comfort that can result from ingesting too much coffee, delivering a more clear-headed and focused caffeine buzz without the jitters. However, every body is different, and new users should be careful to start with a low-dose helping of CBD. Once you’ve experienced how CBD and caffeine interact with your stomach’s microbiome, feel free to experiment with the dosage until finding a balance that helps you address your specific wellness needs.

Why yes! CBD teas are perfectly possible and can be produced in a variety of ways. Frequently, tea makers will infuse CBD oils or extracts into their tea leaves. When these infused leaves are then steeped into a nice cuppa’, the CBD is released into the water in the same way that tea is normally prepared. CBD tea can always be made, professionally or at home, simply by adding your favorite CBD oil or extract to your traditional tea. When well mixed, the two integrate well and produce a highly customizable, rich, and satisfying experience. Whichever method you prefer, we’re confident that you’ll find CBD to be a pleasant addition to your tea-time. It’s all a matter of taste, and the only experience will tell you exactly how you prefer your CBD tea.

Whether you enjoy your tea hot or cold, these CBD-infused leaves will work just fine. If you’re asking this question, then you likely have experience making both hot and cold teas, and the same general rules apply. Steeping tea is much easier (and occurs much more quickly) when done in hot water — but, given adequate time, cold-brewed CBD teas can be a delightful way to receive your CBD treatment. It’s all a matter of personal preference, of course, but the same methods that you use to prepare and enjoy your traditional teas will work splendidly for these CBD-infused offerings.

Our users regularly report that CBD can have different effects on energy and wakefulness, depending on the dosage used. Typically, users report that small doses of CBD actually increase their energy, making them feel more alert and rested in a way similar to a mild caffeine buzz. Higher doses often seem to have the opposite effect, creating a sense of calm and, yes, even a bit of sleepiness. This gets all them more complicated with CBD-infused teas, as different types of tea can also pull your energy in either direction. Some are caffeinated or contain other mild stimulants, providing users with a nice pick-me-up that compliments and works with low-dose CBD’s boosting effects. Others are better suited for night-time use, and contribute to a calmed mood and help prepare you for a night of restful sleep. Ultimately, your response will depend on a combination of your use habits, the type of tea you use, and your own individual biochemistry. Only experience can tell you for sure, but know that all of our tea products are hand-selected and laboratory tested for their quality, consistency, and enjoyability.

Although no one can predict the future, it is very unlikely that the FDA will ban CBD-infused beverages or other products. The 2018 Farm Bill gave wide berth to producers to develop and sell industrial hemp-derived CBD in all 50 U.S. states. In fact, even in states that prevent the sale of CBD products in brick-and-mortar storefronts, it is 100% legal to buy CBD products online and have them shipped in-state. This sort of blanket allowance sends a clear message on the Federal government’s permissive position on CBD — a position that is unlikely to change in the near future. But whatever the future may hold, current and potential users can rest assured that all of the CBD beverages (and other products) sold on CBD choice are carefully curated, and that each and every one is fully legal for purchase in all 50 U.S. states. So drink up, confident that you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of CBD without legal repercussion!

Research and users’ anecdotal reports have confirmed that CBD addresses a wide range of physical discomforts, including stomach and gastrointestinal pain. When ingested, the compounds in CBD find pain receptors and, according to such reports, can reduce inflammation, pain, and soreness. This is because of the way that CBD, a cannabinoid, interacts with the endocannabinoid system (or ECS) found in the human body. The ECS sends signals to pain receptors all throughout the body, which likely accounts for users’ widely-acknowledged feelings of comfort, relaxation, and general wellness in response to taking CBD. Many users report taking CBD for pain management, and CBD-infused beverages offer the same benefits as oils, tinctures, and other such products, in a method that is convenient and easy to fit into any daily routine.

Although CBD can affect everyone differently, an overwhelming number of regular users report that CBD has positive impacts on a slew of neurological issues including insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Initial research on the use of CBD for treating anxiety have yielded positive results, but more research is necessary before a definitive conclusion can be drawn. As always, new users should be aware that their body — and its precise reaction to CBD — are unique. Be sure to start at small doses, increasing incrementally as you determine the effect that CBD usage will have on your mood, pain, and general wellbeing. With a bit of careful experimentation, you can determine how best CBD can aid your particular needs.
