Alcohol is objectively a worse drug than cannabis in just about every respect. Alcohol leaves the user acting belligerent the night of and hungover the morning after but neither of these is characteristic of cannabis.
Thanks to the new THC shots we’ve recently released, it’s easier than ever to swap out your alcoholic beverages for a weed-infused one. Not only are these shots delicious on their own, but they also make a delightful addition to mocktails or mixed beverages.
Here are ten delicious recipes you can use for delightful cannabis-infused drinks:

Canna-Mimosa
It’s early but you’ve got nothing scheduled for the whole day and you’re ready to kick back, relax, and unwind before you even wind up to begin with.
