Cantrip started in dispensaries in 2021 and quickly became the ninth best-selling cannabis beverage in the country (per BDSA data). Their approach is different from the seltzer crowd: THC-infused sodas and flavored drinks in formats like cola, ginger ale, and root beer that completely mask any cannabis taste. If you've tried a THC drink that tasted like weed, Cantrip is the antidote.
What Cantrip Gets Right
The flavor masking is the standout. Customers consistently note that Cantrip "completely masks any weed taste unlike some other brands" without compensating with excessive sweetness. The cola tastes like cola. The ginger ale tastes like ginger ale. For people who are curious about THC drinks but turned off by the earthy, bitter notes that some brands can't hide, this matters.
Each can delivers 5mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, a meaningful dose for most people. The formula uses all-natural ingredients (carbonated water, cane sugar, natural flavors, hemp extract) without synthetic chemicals or artificial preservatives. Every batch is tested for contaminants and pathogens.
Founded in 2020 by Adam Terry and Dylan Lowery, the brand launched with dispensary products before expanding to hemp-derived formats for nationwide access. That dispensary pedigree shows in the product quality.
Where Cantrip Falls Short
The soda format means sugar and calories. If you're looking for a zero-calorie option, a seltzer like Cycling Frog or Mighty Kind is a better fit.
No CBD in the formula. Brands like Just Chill and Cycling Frog include CBD to smooth the THC experience. Cantrip is THC-only, which means the onset may feel sharper for some users.
The flavor lineup, while well-executed, is limited compared to brands like Happi that offer 8+ options.

Best For
People who hate the taste of cannabis in their drinks. Soda drinkers who want a familiar format. Anyone who tried a THC seltzer and found it too subtle or too "healthy" tasting.
Not Ideal For
Health-conscious drinkers watching sugar intake. People who want CBD balanced with their THC. Seltzer purists who prefer minimal ingredients.
The Bottom Line
Cantrip solves the taste problem that holds back a lot of THC drinks. If you want a cannabis beverage that just tastes like a normal, good drink, their cola and ginger ale nail it. At $19.99 for a 4-pack ($5 per 5mg can), the pricing is competitive with the category average.
