THC Mocktails from the eyes of a sober 25 year old

In the day and age of social media, I see more and more partying, clubbing and drinking until they are incoherent. I too had these days; I went to Mankato State University for christ sake. My floor’s motto was “blackout, puke and rally”. I look back on those days with some fondness of what bits and pieces I can remember. My friends enjoy looking back on the pieces I can’t remember and enjoy having a good laugh at them. As I have aged and grown into the ripe age of 25, I have since ceased having those experiences all together. Now, I advocate for alternates. Something that will give you a good time, without acting like a drunken idiot.
I have been sober for 3-4 years now. I am happy to stay that way. I feel some sort of physical repulsion towards alcohol now. THC was enjoyable, but to be honest, I was too lazy. Needing a grinder, wraps or whatever paraphernalia you prefer, was not my game. Dabs were too strong, edibles were good, but either tasted terrible or lacked the ability to figure out the strength of them. (this was before they were legalized in July of 2022 in Minnesota).
I think if THC drinks were readily available in my days of debauchery, I would have preferred those. The flavors are literally endless, just look at the market. If you can think of it, you can make it. Alcohol has a similar ability but comes with the caveat of the physical burn from hard liquor. Our THC drinks do not have any kind of unenjoyable after taste, which makes them perfect for mocktails. We have three different types of Lemonades that make great flavor combinations with other fruit juices. Have you ever heard of an orange float? Grab our orange soda, toss that in with some vanilla ice cream and you got yourself a hell of a treat. You can even get fancy with it and it's very easy. Substitute your favorite flavor of booze with one of our drinks and if they are similar, it's going to be good, and they won’t give you a hangover.
Trust me when I say, I understand the appeal of alcohol and getting drunk, what I am not for is dealing with hangovers and making bad choices. This is why THC mocktails are a great way to still have a good time, just not be as “turnt”. You have just as many combinations as normal cocktails, less side effects and new flavor profiles that can really change up how you enjoy your nights, weekends or time off. Just give it a try, I’d be surprised if you didn’t like it."
