Cannabis beverages are available at both our Vancouver (2 Locations) and Main Street Vancouver dispensaries. We carry sparkling waters, tonics, and infused drinks in THC, CBD, and balanced ratio formats. Open daily from 9AM to 11PM.
Legal cannabis beverages in BC are drinks infused with cannabis extract, sold in cans or bottles and subject to the same 10mg THC per unit cap as edibles. They are a growing category and the quality has improved substantially in recent years. Early licensed cannabis beverages had a noticeable cannabis taste that put a lot of people off. Newer formulations use nano-emulsion technology to make the THC water-soluble, which improves onset time and reduces the taste issue significantly.
Onset time for beverages is generally faster than traditional edibles because of the nano-emulsion format. Most people notice onset between 15 and 45 minutes rather than the 45 minutes to two hours you would expect from a gummy or capsule. That shorter and more predictable onset is one of the main reasons people prefer beverages as a format.
The beverages section at both Vancouver locations includes THC-dominant sparkling drinks for recreational use, CBD-dominant options for people who want the relaxation without significant psychoactive effect, and 1:1 balanced ratio drinks that sit between the two. Brands we carry include Tweed, Little Victory, and others that rotate through BCLDB allocation. Thursday is our beverages deal day at Coastal Green, with 15% off everything in the drinks category at all three locations.
Cannabis beverages are a good starting point for people who are curious about cannabis but do not smoke or vape and find edibles too slow and unpredictable. The controlled dose, faster onset, and familiar format of a canned drink makes the experience easier to manage.
All three Coastal Green locations carry a full menu. Walk in or order online.
