Social Tonic – The Liquid That Leaves You Laughing and Light

Social Tonic

Many people ask: what is a social tonic? It kind of sounds like it could be any drink you enjoy around people, but it’s a name folks use to discuss THC drinks, hemp-infused beverages, and cannabis mocktails. These are basically all synonyms for a social tonic.

You can ditch the harmful, hectic vibe of alcohol for something a little chiller. Learn all about social tonics and why they’re taking over the social scene.

Define: Social Tonic

A social tonic is a carbonated drink containing cannabis compounds, such as THC, CBD, and CBG.

These drinks can contain an isolated compound or a mix of these chemicals. Like traditional tonics, the beverages are fizzy, giving them a wonderful texture and effervescence.

Social tonics are touted as an alcohol alternative, as they’re perfect for social situations, such as parties or dinners. The cannabis compounds can help people loosen up and be more sociable, similar to alcohol, but don’t come with the many downsides of alcohol.

As mentioned, the drinks frequently contain THC, CBD, CBG, and other cannabis compounds. However, they can contain other ingredients, such as L-Theanine, adaptogens, or Lion’s Mane. These types of compounds can enhance the experience but aren’t found in every social tonic.

Be Yourself, But Better

We’ve seen people change drastically after just a few alcoholic drinks. People who are typically polite and pleasant can become toxic and obnoxious after a couple of beers. Two or three vodka shots can bring out someone’s ugly side. One too many margaritas might have you making mistakes you’ll regret.

With social tonics, you don’t have to worry about any of these things. You get to enjoy a euphoric, relaxed feeling without losing yourself or harming your body. Not only do social tonics make you feel sensational, but they come with an impressive range of benefits, including:

  • Relaxed muscles and posture
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • A comprehensive calm feeling
  • An uplifted mood
  • A sociable and silly vibe
  • An easygoing attitude

But wait, there’s more. These are just the nice sensations social tonics offer. They also deliver physical and mental benefits, such as:

  • Alleviation from chronic pain
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Increased antioxidants
  • Lower risk of cancer
  • Better sleep
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Improved digestion
  • Managed mental health conditions

With social tonics, you can put yourself in a phenomenal mood for a social setting and be kind to your body. No blackouts, bar-top dancing, or bumps and bruises.

Social Tonics Across the Country

Under the U.S. Farm Bill, hemp-derived THC, CBD, and other chemical compounds found in cannabis plants are legal. The law concerning these drinks can be confusing, as there are many different types of compounds, plant varieties, and product types. But all you need to know is that hemp-derived THC and CBD are legal in most states and fairly easy to find.

Find Wunder is currently available in over 44 states, and we hope to one day be in every single U.S. state. You can find cannabis beverages near you with our handy guide to legality and availability by state. As long as it’s allowed in your state and you’re over 21, you can sip on a social tonic. From Sacramento, California, to Nashville, Tennessee, you can find Find Wunder all across the country.

From Plant to Can to You

No, they didn’t fall from heaven, but it sure feels that way after a few sips. Social tonics, aka hemp-infused drinks, are, unsurprisingly, infused with hemp. So, how are social tonics made?

These drinks are typically made by combining liquid carbon dioxide with natural cannabis materials. The process requires extreme pressure and heat to create the CO2 gas that is released. When this happens, the concentrated cannabis extracts are left behind, then broken down and blended with the liquid base for a seltzer.

We call this fancy, science-y process emulsification. Essentially, it turns the raw cannabis materials into water-soluble compounds we can mix into whatever we want. The good news is you don’t have to worry about this complex process, because we do all the work for you. But it is exciting to learn about the inventive ways people use cannabis to create new products. Before emulsification, we had no way to fuse cannabis compounds with liquids, so it’s a game changer for the industry.

Aside from allowing us to sip on CBD, CBG, and THC, the emulsification process has some other benefits. It makes consuming cannabis more comfortable for many people, as you don’t need to smoke a plant or eat a funky-tasting brownie.

There’s also evidence that emulsified cannabinoids have a higher absorption rate in the body. This means you can feel the lovely effects of the social tonics soon after cracking open the can. It also means you can feel more while consuming less, which is always awesome.

A Worthy Adversary to Alcohol

We’ve already mentioned a few reasons why social tonics are a brilliant alternative to alcoholic drinks, but let’s look at all the factors.

High vs. Drunk

Social tonics help you get high; alcohol makes you drunk. Both are sensations of euphoria that help people unwind and have fun, but they’re not the same.

When you’re high, you feel happy and chill. It takes the edge off, reducing anxiety and tension, both physically and mentally. Alcohol might take the edge off, but it amps you up rather than helping you wind down. It doesn’t soothe your muscles or mind.

When people are drunk, they frequently feel out of control or overly emotional. Drunk sobbing or intoxicated fighting are superb ways to ruin a good time. But high people don’t want to fight. And if they’re crying, it’s from laughter.

You choose your path, but if you want to relax without losing control, social tonics are the way to go.

Calories and Nutrition

There’s no competition here. The calories in many alcoholic beverages, especially cocktails and heavy beers, are staggering. These drinks can have over 200 calories. Social tonics have far fewer calories, usually between 50 and 100 per serving or can. Anyone watching their calorie intake can benefit from swapping out whiskey for THC.

As far as other nutritional factors, like sugar, carbs, and sodium, social tonics typically win in these categories, too. And if they don’t win, they tie. The sugar content in wine and cocktails is shocking, and the carbohydrate content in a single beer is, too.

Furthermore, these social tonics can have beneficial additions, like vitamins and minerals. Almost all alcoholic drinks have little to no nutritional value, delivering empty calories and processed sugar. Sure, some people say red wine is heart-healthy, but there’s plenty of evidence that shows skipping alcohol altogether is better for your heart and overall health.

The Next Morning

Even if you love the free feeling of being drunk, no one loves a hangover. The nausea, the vomiting, the headaches, the stomachaches, the sensitivity to light and sound — the list goes on. Any more than two or three drinks, and you’ve made a breakfast date with all these awful symptoms.

If you drink an abundance of social tonics at night, the next morning, you’ll be… completely fine! You can leap out of bed and greet the morning with a cheer. Okay, maybe not if you hate mornings, but you know what we mean. The only next-day side effect some people experience is sleepiness, but what’s wrong with sleeping in a little on a Sunday morning?

The Rest of Your Life

Lastly, it’s not just about how you feel that night or the next morning. It’s about what you’re doing to your body long-term. Alcohol leads to conditions like heart disease, cancer, liver failure, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, and high blood pressure. And that’s just the beginning.

As far as cannabis, especially when you’re not smoking it, the long-term negative effects are barely there. Some people may report memory impairment or sleep troubles after lifelong, excessive use, but those people are in the minority.

It’s clearly proven that alcohol kills, and while long-term research on cannabis is lacking, it most definitely does not kill the way alcohol does. By opting for social tonics over alcohol, you can make a choice tonight to take care of yourself for the rest of your life.
