The Rise of THC Beverages in Minnesota
The legalization of hemp-derived THC products in Minnesota opened the door to a new era of beverages. Unlike traditional edibles, THC drinks provide a faster onset, a lighter social buzz, and the ability to dose more precisely. This makes them perfect for social events, summer gatherings, and nights when you want to unwind without alcohol.
Minnesotans are embracing this shift in a big way. From breweries adding THC seltzers to restaurants experimenting with infused mocktails, cannabis beverages are quickly becoming the go-to choice for a new generation of drinkers.
At 23rd State, we’re leading the charge by offering products that are both approachable and innovative. By showcasing at the Fair, we hope to introduce even more people to the future of cannabis drinking culture.
Why SHAKE Stands Out
One of the products we’re most excited to highlight at the Minnesota State Fair is SHAKE THC Enhancer. Unlike pre-made beverages, SHAKE gives you complete control over your cannabis experience:
-
1mg THC + 3mg CBG per drop – Easy to track your dosage and customize your drink.
-
Flavor Neutral – Add SHAKE to any beverage without changing the taste.
-
Portable & Discreet – Perfect for social settings, picnics, or relaxing at home.
Whether you want to make a THC lemonade at the cabin or a festive mocktail for game day, SHAKE gives you the flexibility to enjoy cannabis your way.
Fresh Press: A Taste of Minnesota Harvest
This year, we’re also unveiling Fresh Press Pear Cider, a sparkling, THC-infused cider inspired by Minnesota’s orchards. Pears are crisp, refreshing, and naturally balanced—making them the perfect fruit to highlight in a cannabis beverage.
Fresh Press isn’t just about taste—it’s about capturing the essence of Minnesota harvest traditions while looking forward to the future of craft beverages. For those who love local ciders and craft drinks, Fresh Press is a must-try.
A Responsible and Enjoyable Experience
As cannabis beverages grow in popularity, education is key. At 23rd State, we’re committed to helping people understand how to enjoy THC drinks responsibly. Some tips we share at events like the Minnesota State Fair include:
-
Start Low, Go Slow – Begin with 2–5mg THC and wait 30–60 minutes before having more.
-
Know Your Setting – THC beverages are great for social events, but make sure you’re in a comfortable environment.
-
Stay Hydrated – Just like any beverage, pair THC drinks with plenty of water.
-
Avoid Mixing with Alcohol – For the best and safest experience, enjoy THC beverages on their own.
By educating consumers at the MN Grown booth, we aim to make cannabis approachable for first-timers and enjoyable for experienced users.
