Introduction: A New Way to Experience Cannabis

At Alexandria’s Joint cannabis store in Ottawa’s east end, one of the fastest-growing categories on our shelves is cannabis beverages. From THC-infused sparkling waters to CBD teas, drinks are changing. Whether you’re new to cannabis or a long-time flower lover, beverages are quickly becoming a top choice for their fast onset, precise dosing, and social appeal.

Why Cannabis Beverages Are Trending in Ottawa

Cannabis drinks are more than just a passing trend—they’re one of the fastest-growing product categories in Ontario cannabis stores.

1. Faster Onset Times

Unlike traditional edibles, which can take up to two hours to kick in, cannabis beverages often use nanoemulsion technology that allows THC or CBD to absorb into your system much faster. Many Alexandria’s Joint customers report feeling effects in as little as 15–20 minutes.

2. Social & Refreshing

Cannabis beverages make a great alternative to alcohol. Imagine cracking open a sparkling cannabis soda at a BBQ, concert, or picnic along the Ottawa River. They’re discreet, refreshing, and social-friendly—perfect for anyone who wants to sip instead of smoke.

3. Precise Dosing for Control

Most beverages sold at Alexandria’s Joint come in 2.5mg to 10mg THC per serving, making it easy to control your high.

Types of Cannabis Beverages at Alexandria’s Joint

At Alexandria’s Joint dispensary, our beverage menu is constantly growing, offering customers a wide variety of cannabis drink options:

  • Sparkling Waters & Seltzers – Light, refreshing, and perfect for summer on Petrie Island.

  • Fruit-Forward Beverages – From lemonades to tropical flavors, these drinks mask cannabis taste with bold, delicious profiles.

  • Teas & Coffees – Warm, calming options for a relaxing night at home in Alexandria.

  • CBD-Only Beverages – Great for customers who want relaxation without the psychoactive effects of THC.

Local Flavor: Cannabis Beverages in the Alexandria Lifestyle

The Alexandria community loves cannabis beverages because they fit so seamlessly into everyday life. Picture this:
