There's Now a Powdered Energy Drink Mix with Weed

It's not what you're usually looking for in an energy drink, but having it with weed is now an option.

The world of weed edibles is getting weird. As recreational cannabis spreads across the US, big companies are getting involved, smaller but beloved companies like Jones Soda are jumping in, and the brands that are already there are throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. It's not a bad situation for anyone who is making a regular stop by the local dispensary

MariMed has just released an edible you probably didn’t see coming. Vibations: High + Energy is a drink mix that is both an energy drink and an edible. It is described with weed-company-speak that sounds like marketing department was allowed to use all of its favorite phrases. It’s an “all-natural, full-spectrum cannabis drink mix that provides focus and energy for the mind and body.”

This is the first MariMed release in the world of cannabis-infused beverages, which is rapidly expanding. You take the pouch of powder, mix in a little water as you might with a big ol’ glass of Tang, and boom, weed and energy drink.

The mix's energy component parallels the kind of energy drinks you get in a can at the gas station. It has "guarana-based caffeine for energy and a variety of vitamins and electrolytes for hydration." It'll be available in four flavors: Strawberry Lemonade, Peach Tangerine Tea, Ice Tea Lemonade, and Pomegranate Blueberry Acai. The latter of those contains monk fruit and stevia to make a sugar-free alternative.

For the time being, it's only available in Massachusetts. However, a MariMed representative tells Thrillist that these products will be in Delaware and Maryland soon.
