I tried one of these once, it was ok but seems really expensive. It was I think $4 for a can, 10mg. Serious question - why is this better than a 10mg edible (the ones I like and get regularly are 100mg for about $15-18) and a mocktail or soda or whatever? Not a sarcastic question, I'm really wondering what I'm missing? In all fairness I've only tried one.
anecdotally, it’s popular with people I know who were anti-weed their whole lives and this makes it feel more like they’re drinking a beer.
They are way too expensive. I tried them after legalization and liked them. They hit as fast as a beer where gummies can take a while.
It's not better. It's just another way to market it. I am not really a fan of edibles and having it in a drink is even worse to me since I dont see the need to drink an entire can when I can get the entire dose in 2 bites with a gummy. I used to take them for a while, but I realized I hate the drowsiness that comes with them the next morning. I was also taking 50mg, which may be a lot for some?
I generally take one around 5-6 in the evening precisely because of that, if I wait until 8-9 I tend to be drowsy as well in the morning. A lot less though, usually no more than 10mg.
