Happi – Glow Up Blood Orange Ginger Seltzer

Another curio to try out this Dry January, cannabis infused seltzers. Now I’ve had such things before from other brands and have been pleasantly surprised by how potent low doses of nanoemulsified THC can be. I bought this seltzer specifically because on their website, but nowhere on the actual can, it claims to contain 10mg CBD, 6mg CBG, and 4mg CBN in addition to the 10mg THC per can.

Milky white with a soft orange tint, it smells of fresh squeezed orange juice with a touch of spicy ginger underneath. The taste is crisp with just a touch of sweetness and flavors of blood orange, tangerine, and fresh grated ginger on an effervescent medium body. The finish is short but vegetal with a moderately low bitterness, featuring notes of cannabis distillate, grass clippings, orange bitters, and subtle ginger. Overall the flavor is less sweet than I expected and the finish isn’t particularly enjoyable, but it mostly fades quickly. I wonder if Happi’s Glow which is this same flavor but only half the dose of cannabinoids would be more palatable.

As for the effects, one can feels like roughly a 25mg edible, moderately stoned but not zombified. The high is hybrid in nature with a gentle mood lift and relaxed body but no sedation. 2 cans is the same high but quite strong, however noticeably different from a 50mg THC gummy, and closer to a comparably dosed homemade edible with full spectrum butter extract, giving evidence that there really are other cannabinoids in this.
