How long do Buzz Packs last?

A Buzz Pack lasts 4–6 hours. Each water-soluble packet blends 5 mg THC and 5 mg CBD into a steady, smooth experience without the ups and downs of smoking. The active compounds of Buzz Packs enter your bloodstream through efficient absorption and create effects that build gradually and maintain steady intensity.

Buzz Packs' water-soluble formula creates consistent timing you can count on. Most users experience peak effects around 30–45 minutes after consumption, followed by several hours of sustained benefits that taper off gently.

All our microdosed THC beverages combine fast absorption with extended relief that fits seamlessly into your day.

How long does THC stay in your system?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) enters your bloodstream after consumption and creates effects that typically last several hours, but its metabolites (the compounds created when your body processes THC) stay in your system much longer. The active effects of THC fade after 4–6 hours. Drug tests can detect these THC metabolites for days or even months, depending on the type of test and your consumption patterns. 

• Blood tests typically detect THC for 1–2 days after use.
• Saliva tests can identify THC for 1–3 days.
• Urine tests find THC metabolites for 3–30 days depending on how often you use cannabis. Occasional users clear faster than regular users.
• Hair follicle tests detect THC traces for up to 90 days.

Regular cannabis consumption, body composition, and metabolism influence detection windows. While the psychoactive effects of THC fade after a few hours, residual effects may show up on tests for several weeks.

Do Buzz Packs affect everyone the same way?

A person’s experience with Buzz Packs (and all THC products) is personal. The following individual factors affect your experience with Buzz Packs:

• Metabolism and body composition: Your natural metabolic rate and body mass influence how quickly your system processes cannabinoids.
• Food in your system: Taking Buzz Packs with food can extend the duration of effects, while an empty stomach may lead to a shorter duration.
• THC tolerance: Regular cannabis users might experience shorter effects than occasional users because they have developed tolerance.
• Hydration levels: Proper hydration helps maintain consistent effects. Dehydration may impact the duration.
• Individual biochemistry: Your unique endocannabinoid system (ECS) affects how you process and respond to THC and CBD.

Dosage amount: Using a full packet versus half can influence the intensity and duration of the effects. Staying within recommended doses gives you the best results.

How long do THC drinks take to produce effects?

The effects of cannabis beverages typically last 4–6 hours for most people. Buzz Packs start working within 10–20 minutes, which is much faster than our microdosed gummies. The water-soluble THC and CBD molecules travel quickly through your digestive system into your bloodstream, creating balanced effects that peak around 30-45 minutes after consumption.

This quick onset happens because the water-soluble formula bypasses the lengthy digestion process required for cannabis edibles. When you mix a packet into at least 4 ounces of any drink, the cannabinoids dissolve completely and absorb efficiently through your digestive tract. Always wait for the full effects to develop before taking more. It's better to start low and add more later than to rush into an uncomfortable experience.

For an equally fast-acting alternative, try our Buzz Drops™ liquid THC formula. Each dropper contains a precise 2.5m g THC and 2.5 mg CBD dose that transforms any drink into a balanced, enjoyable experience.

“I struggle with insomnia but hesitate to take over-the-counter sleep aids and hate the lag time for THC gummies. This has led to many restless nights or overuse of alcohol to help sleep. I'm using the Buzz Drops in a herbal tea before bed and I am finally trusting that when I go to sleep, I will actually fall asleep…”

The side effects of Buzz Packs

Buzz Packs are safe for most people when used as directed, but like any THC product, they can cause adverse effects. Always check with your healthcare provider about potential interactions if you take medications, especially those affecting mood, sleep, or blood pressure. We recommend avoiding alcohol while using Buzz Packs since combining these substances can intensify unwanted effects.

Here are the most common side effects of Buzz Packs:

• Temporary anxiety
• Dry mouth
• Drowsiness
• Changes in short-term memory
• Mild dizziness
• Increased heart rate
• Altered sense of time
• Heightened sensory sensitivity

Our THC powder stick packs are much better than booze. They transform any non-alcoholic beverage into a cannabis drink that mimics the social lift of alcohol without the hangover. The low-dose THC creates an enjoyable experience that helps you unwind and socialize while maintaining clarity and control. 

Unlike alcohol's often unpredictable effects, Buzz Packs deliver consistent, gentle relaxation that enhances your mood without compromising your well-being the next day. Try mixing them into our delicious craft mocktails such as the classic cannabis Tom Collins, refreshing mango lemonade buzztail, or a rich blueberry cinnamon refresher for a sophisticated drinking experience.
