Carbonated THC and CBD drinks are popping up everywhere but so are the myths about whether they actually work. From potency loss to lab testing issues, there’s a lot of noise out there. This quick video cuts through the carbonation confusion and lays out the facts.

Before you drop thousands on cans and co-packing, let’s talk about what actually makes an infused drink brand succeed (and not end up as forgotten shelf decor).

Getting the dose right in a functional beverage isn’t just science it’s strategy. Whether you’re working with THC, CBD, Lion’s Mane, or vitamins, the right dosing can make or break customer experience, brand trust, and compliance.

A great-tasting functional beverage won’t matter much if it spoils, separates, or fizz-bombs the moment it hits the shelf. Shelf life isn’t just about longevity it’s about protecting your brand, your product integrity, and your customer experience.

You’ve dialed in your formula, nailed your dosing now it’s time to package your cannabinoid beverage the right way. Because when it comes to safety, compliance, and long-term potency, the container you choose matters just as much as what’s inside it.

In a crowded beverage market, good ingredients aren’t enough. You need a brand that actually means something. In this video, we break down exactly how to build a brand that doesn’t just look good on the shelf, but earns loyalty with every sip.

Launching a new infused beverage brand is exciting, but the road is full of hidden potholes. In this video, we break down the three most common (and costly) mistakes we see new founders make and how to avoid them like a pro.

Thinking about adding cannabinoid beverages to your taproom lineup? You’re not alone and you’re not late. More taprooms are realizing that offering functional, non-alcoholic THC options isn’t just trendy, it’s strategic.

If you’re thinking about launching a Delta-9 THC or functional hemp beverage, getting licensed is the first major step. It might sound complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. In this short video, we walk you through exactly what it takes to get started the right way without drowning in paperwork or compliance confusion.

If you’ve worked with powders, distillates, or other “functional” ingredients that clump, separate, or leave a bitter taste behind, you already know the pain points. That’s exactly why we developed Rapidose™, and in this video, we break down why it’s changing the game for beverage makers at every scale.

Creating Delta-9 THC beverages is exciting but if you’re feeling unsure about the legal landscape, you’re not alone. This short video breaks it all down: federal law, state-specific rules, proper labeling, and how to stay compliant at every stage of production.

Let’s kick things off right. Whether you’re just curious or ready to scale your next beverage brand, this short video gives you a clear look at who we are, what we do, and how we can help.

Formulating functional beverages doesn’t have to be complicated. With our Rapidose™ Sample Kit, you can start testing your next drink in minutes without messy trial-and-error or expensive mistakes.

Functional beverages aren’t just a trend, they’re a movement. THC may have opened the door, but what’s behind it is much bigger: a booming non-alcoholic category filled with adaptogens, nootropics, cannabinoids, and custom stacks designed to make people feel something, relaxed, focused, uplifted, or totally dialed in.

Acidic cannabinoids are really powerful. They are also very volatile and can change quickly with heat. We believe there is some hope in maintaining the integrity of CBDa and CBGa when we convert them to a pharma-quality powder.

We are realizing that there is so much unmet potential in conversion of botanical oils into pharma-quality powders. We can use this as an ingredient or take the oil and add it to a cannabinoid extract to increase the effacacy.

The conversion was tricky, but the conversion process worked after some on-the-fly tweaks. The professionals at Volunteer Botanicals have been hard at work finding new ways to utilize crude oil in more products.
