What are Buzz Drops?

Buzz Drops are liquid cannabis infusions that contain 2.5 mg THC and 2.5 mg CBD per dropper. They contain just three ingredients: purified water and water-soluble THC and CBD derived from organic American hemp. This minimalist formulation creates a neutral flavor profile that blends with any beverage. Whether added to sparkling water, juice, or complex mocktails, Buzz Drops maintain the integrity of your drink's original taste without introducing unwanted flavors or textures.

An equal ratio of THC to CBD (2.5 mg of each per dropper) creates a harmonious balance: the THC delivers a mild buzz, while the CBD prevents the anxiety sometimes associated with cannabis. This combination allows you to:

  • Maintain a clear-headed feeling instead of experiencing alcohol fog.
  • Relax without the disorientation that alcohol causes.
  • Stay hydrated without the inflammation that alcohol triggers.
  • Face less risk of overconsumption than with alcoholic drinks.
  • Be aware of your surroundings without racing thoughts.
  • Wake up without hangovers or lost productivity the next day.

Our customers confirm that Buzz Drops pleasantly replace a nightly glass of wine, provide social ease without the hangover, ease daily discomfort, and take the edge off after a stressful day.

What are Soberish Drops?

Soberish Drops are one of many alcohol alternatives. They contain Delta 9 THC and CBD from hemp and provide a buzz without alcohol, marketed with an appealing “wine-like buzz.”

These drops offer a flavorless, calorie-free option that gives a relaxed, feel-good vibe with 2 mg of THC and 4 mg of CBD per serving. They blend into any drink without altering taste, just like Buzz Drops.

Unlike Buzz Drops, Soberish Drops achieve these perceived benefits with a complex formula incorporating a dozen ingredients. 

  • Water, hemp, and organic glycerin form the base liquid that carries the cannabinoids.
  • Gum arabic and xanthan gum are thickeners. They create a syrupy consistency for better mixing in beverages.
  • Citric acid and malic acid function as acidifiers that extend shelf life and alter the product's pH balance.
  • Their formula contains "natural flavors" despite marketing claims of being completely flavorless.
  • Sucralose is an artificial sweetener that masks the natural bitterness of hemp compounds.
  • Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are preservatives that prevent bacterial growth and extend shelf life.
  • Sodium gluconate acts as a chelating agent that binds to metals and prevents oxidation.

This extensive ingredient list contains elements that many wellness-conscious consumers prefer to avoid. 

Buzz Drops and Soberish Drops side-by-side

Formula and ingredients

  • Buzz Drops: Each serving delivers an equal amount of THC and CBD, 2.5 mg of each cannabinoid per dropper. This clean formula contains only purified water and water-soluble cannabinoids derived from hemp.
  • Soberish Drops: These drops use a CBD-dominant 1:2 ratio with 2 mg THC and 4 mg CBD per serving. Their formula includes water, hemp, thickeners, acidifiers, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and flavor additives, totaling twelve ingredients.

Health and dietary features

  • Buzz Drops: The formula is vegan, gluten-free, and calorie-free without artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or unnecessary additives for health-conscious consumers.
  • Soberish Drops: These contain artificial sweetener (sucralose) and preservatives without explicit information regarding vegan status or gluten content.

Value and options

  • Buzz Drops: Customers can choose from 15, 30, or 60 serving bottles with pricing starting at $27.95 for 15 servings ($1.86/serving) and subscription savings of 15%.
  • Soberish Drops: These are available in 15 or 30 serving bottles with pricing at $45.99 for 30 servings and a higher 20% subscription discount.

Taste

  • Buzz Drops: The flavor has no impact on beverage taste. With Buzz Drops, you can enjoy everything from sparkling water to complex mocktails without changing the flavor.
  • Soberish Drops: While marketed as flavorless, these drops contain "natural flavors" in their ingredient list, which may subtly alter the taste profile of neutral beverages.

Onset and duration

  • Buzz Drops: The effects of Buzz Drops begin within 10 minutes. They reach their peak around 30–45 minutes, and provide a 3–6 hour experience before gently tapering off.
  • Soberish Drops: The product kicks in within 5–20 minutes with effects lasting about as long as Buzz Drops. Your experience might vary due to the heavier CBD formula.

Third-party testing

  • Buzz Drops: We test every batch in independent labs for potency, purity, and safety, with all results easy to access on our website.
  • Soberish Drops: They provide lab results upon request, but don't share much detail about their testing process in their marketing.

Versatility

  • Buzz Drops: Our balanced THC:CBD ratio keeps you sharp and relaxed during daily routines, social events, and evening relaxation.
  • Soberish Drops: Their product serves similar situations, but higher CBD content creates stronger calming effects that many users find more sedating than our formula.

Buzz Drops vs Soberish Drops: Side effects

Both products contain similar total cannabinoids per dose (5 mg in Buzz Drops, 6 mg in Soberish Drops). At recommended doses, most users enjoy feel-good effects without negative reactions. Side effects typically emerge with higher doses or individual sensitivity, and may include:

  • Dry mouth.
  • Altered time perception.
  • Increased appetite.
  • Mild drowsiness.

These reactions are much milder than the negative effects of alcohol, like impaired coordination, clouded judgment, dehydration, memory problems, and hangovers. Both formulations are healthy alcohol alternatives when you use a low, functional dosage.

Why are people going soberish?

The soberish lifestyle is about choosing alcohol alternatives that provide pleasant relaxation without the negative impacts of drinking: liver damage, sleep disruption, weight gain, and addiction potential. It lets you remove alcohol from most experiences while maintaining emotional closeness in social settings. People who reduce their ABV intake report improved sleep, mental clarity, energy, and overall well-being. The soberish lifestyle embraces mindful consumption rather than complete abstinence.

How can I get the same buzz without alcohol?

Cannabis-infused products, like our THC beverages, replace alcohol by providing relaxation and social benefits without drawbacks. Our liquid drops activate your endocannabinoid system (ECS) instead of depressing your central nervous system. Your ECS regulates bodily functions, including mood, stress response, and social behavior. The microdoses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) in Buzz Drops interact with specialized receptors throughout your body.

THC binds primarily to CB1 receptors in your brain, creating gentle euphoria and a feeling of groundedness, while CBD modifies brain wave patterns and provides beneficial antioxidants. These cannabinoids create an entourage effect, where compounds enhance each other's benefits while minimizing unwanted effects. 

Many people who want to slow down with booze turn to kava drinks, hop-infused waters, or adaptogenic tonics, relying on their hit-or-miss effects. The scientifically formulated cannabinoid ratio of Buzz Drops delivers the consistent experience that other alcohol alternatives often promise but rarely achieve.

Product QUIZ

Need help deciding what product is best for you? Take our quiz, just three questions until your perfect match!

Are THC drinks safe for the liver?

Many people are changing their drinking habits due to alcohol's negative impact on liver function and brain health, among other things. When exploring soberish alternatives, many wonder if cannabis affects the liver. Buzz Drops and other THC drinks are safer for liver health than drinking.

Alcohol is metabolized through the liver and causes cumulative damage over time, but cannabinoids follow different pathways that don't affect liver function. Cannabis compounds don't trigger the inflammation and oxidative stress that addictive chemicals in alcohol inflict on liver tissue. Our microdosed formula further supports liver function because these minimal amounts require less processing than higher-dose products or alcohol.

For those seeking buzz-inducing alcohol alternatives to protect their liver, THC drinks let you enjoy:

  • No toxic metabolites that damage liver cells.
  • No elevation of liver enzymes associated with damage.
  • No contribution to fatty liver development.
  • No interference with the liver's ability to process nutrients.

As with any wellness product, consult your healthcare providers before use if you have pre-existing health conditions.

How to be soberish with Buzz Drops 

We can’t tell you how to use Soberish Drops, but when it comes to enjoying the soberish lifestyle with Buzz Drops, we’re pros.

Here's how to craft THC mocktails for a true soberish experience.

  1. Select a delicious drink base. Sparkling water works wonderfully, or try fresh juice, coconut milk, or even a blend of tea for variety.
  2. Add one full dropper of Buzz Drops or adjust your dose for your preferred buzz level. 
  3. Stir or shake to evenly distribute all the active ingredients.
  4. Enjoy as effects begin within 10–20 minutes. THC drinks hit much faster than gummies because liquid cannabinoids are absorbed directly through tissues in your mouth and digestive tract, bypassing the lengthy digestion process required for solid edibles.

Our favorite mocktail recipes

For special occasions, elevate your soberish lifestyle with some of our consumer-friendly cannabis mocktail recipes.

  • Blueberry thyme drink: Muddle fresh blueberries with thyme, add sparkling water, a squeeze of citrus, and Buzz Drops for a sense of calmness with euphoric effects.
  • Raspberry coconut buzztail™: Muddle fresh raspberries with simple syrup, add lime juice and coconut milk, shake with ice, and strain. Add Buzz Drops for a tropical cannabis mocktail that balances creamy richness with bright berry tanginess.
  • Citrusy sparkling refresher: Mix blood orange juice with sparkling water, add a dropper of Buzz Drops, and garnish with a blood orange slice for a bright, effervescent soberish beverage.
  • Cucumber mint THC mocktail: Muddle fresh cucumber slices with mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup, add Buzz Drops, shake with ice, strain, and top with club soda. This cooling beverage delivers calming effects after a busy day.

Our cannabis mixers are great, but our THC gummies are also waiting to delight your palate. Many people microdose cannabis to relieve anxiety, because low-dose THC can soothe your system, unlike higher amounts, which can cause the opposite effect.

Pop one of our melon-infused Bliss gummies for a bite-sized treat that melts your stress away.

Soberish Drops vs Buzz Drops FAQ

Buzz Drops create a euphoric buzz comparable to 1–2 glasses of wine without the negative effects of alcohol consumption. Their THC to CBD ratio makes you feel deeply relaxed and grounded while your mind stays sharp and present. Users experience emotional balance, enhanced social ease, and calm euphoria minutes after consumption. The cannabinoids bind to your body's receptors, triggering wellbeing and reducing anxiety. Unlike non-psychoactive alcohol alternatives that mimic spirits' flavor, Buzz Drops cause actual neurochemical shifts through their impact on neurons, delivering genuine effects rather than placebo benefits.

Adaptogen drinks are another functional beverage category targeting stress relief. Unlike cannabinoid-rich Buzz Drops, these drinks contain herbs and mushrooms like ashwagandha, rhodiola, or reishi that trigger adaptogen-like effects. Brands such as Curious Elixers and Dromme Calm blend these botanicals with cognitive enhancers to craft favorite alcohol alternatives. While offering beneficial phytochemicals and a blend of relaxation, they lack the immediate emotional attunement and euphoric buzz that cannabis-derived THC creates. 

Buzz Drops won't make you sleepy or trigger drowsiness when you stick to recommended doses. They shine in social interactions and daily usage without sedation. Their balanced ratio of THC and CBD elevates energy levels and mental clarity instead of fatigue.

If you’re trying to manage sleep issues, try our specialized products with CBD and cannabinol (CBN) in our CBD gummies for sleep for more effective results. 

Buzz Drops are flavor-neutral. Unlike competing cannabis tinctures with earthy undertones or distinct cannabis flavors, Buzz Drops transform beverages without altering their taste profile. This flavor invisibility suits everything from sparkling water to complex mocktails or citrus drinks without compromising the intended flavor experience. With their clean taste, Buzz Drops preserve drink integrity, whether in craft mocktail creations or simple juice additions.

CBD alone creates no "high." While CBD delivers anti-anxiety benefits and calming effects, it lacks THC's psychoactive impact. CBD modifies brain chemistry and neural oscillations to establish calm and balance without euphoria. Our Buzz Drops combine CBD with THC in equal amounts, where CBD counteracts potential THC-induced anxiety while THC contributes the desired wine-like effect. This strategic combination creates mildly buzzed social lubrication that outperforms other alternatives to alcohol without producing the overwhelming intoxication associated with THC-dominant products.

Unlike alcohol, which consistently raises blood pressure, Buzz Drops show minimal effects on cardiovascular metrics. Their precise blend of functional ingredients lacks the bioactive chemicals that trigger hypertension. Cannabis microdosing has stable blood pressure readings compared to ABV intake. The 2.5 mg of THC and 2.5 mg of CBD in Buzz Drops fall well below the 15–30 mg threshold that research suggests might impact cardiovascular function.

Buzz Drops contain federally compliant cannabis-derived THC, which may appear on drug tests. Even with the arc of dosages remaining in the microdose range, the dry weight calculations still deliver enough THC for detection. Many companies maintain federal regulations that don't distinguish between consumption methods or the form of alcohol called "replacement products." 

Before using Buzz Drops, check your workplace testing policies as drug panels detect THC regardless of purpose. nama is a cannabis responsible organization, and we advocate for better recognition of therapeutic benefits, but current testing methods can't distinguish between recreational consumption and wellness applications of these cutting-edge products.
