THC basics
What is hemp-derived THC?
It is Delta-9 THC that comes from hemp, the cannabis plant defined by law as containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis. Delta-9 THC is the main compound in cannabis that produces a high. 8th Wonder products use hemp-derived Delta-9 THC and are made for adults 21 and over.
Are hemp THC drinks legal in Texas?
Our products are made with hemp-derived THC and contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, the hemp threshold under the 2018 Farm Bill and Chapter 443 of the Texas Health and Safety Code. State laws vary, which is why we do not ship to some states.
Do I have to be 21 to buy?
Yes. Our products are for adults 21 and older only, and orders may require age verification. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
Will it show up on a drug test?
It can. Our products contain THC, and using them may cause a positive drug test. If you are subject to drug testing, do not use THC products.

Dosing and effects
How much THC is in Wonder Water?
Wonder Water comes in two strengths: 5mg or 10mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC per 12 oz can, so a 4-pack holds 20mg or 40mg in total. The 5mg cans are our beginner pick; the 10mg cans are for people who already know how THC affects them.
How much THC is in Wonder Water gummies?
Each Wonder Water gummy has 10mg of hemp-derived THC, with 10 gummies per pack (100mg per pack). They come in Lime and Grape.
What does a THC drink feel like?
It is not the same for everyone, but low-dose THC drinks can feel uplifting, relaxed and euphoric. Our drinks are made to come on faster and fade sooner than traditional edibles. Start with a low dose and see how it feels for you.
I am new to THC drinks. What should I start with?
Start with one 5mg can of Wonder Water, our lowest dose, or share one. Sip it slowly and give it time before having another, because effects can be delayed by two hours or more. Everyone responds differently.
How many gummies should I start with?
If you are new to THC, start with one gummy, or half of one, and wait before taking more. The THC per gummy is listed on the package and on the product page.
How much THC is in Ocho Verde, and how much should I pour?
Each 750mL bottle of Ocho Verde contains 100mg THC in total: about 4mg per 1 oz pour, or about 6mg per 1.5 oz serving (roughly 17 servings per bottle). Measure with a jigger rather than free-pouring. If you are new to THC, start with a single serving and give it plenty of time before having more.
How long until I feel a THC drink, and how long does it last?
Our drinks use a nano-emulsion made to be absorbed faster than traditional edibles. Many people notice effects in about 15 to 25 minutes, lasting around 60 to 90 minutes or more, but it varies with tolerance, body weight, food and more. Effects can also be delayed by two hours or more, so wait before having another.
How long do gummies take to kick in?
It varies a lot from person to person. Edibles can take two hours or more to reach full effect, so wait at least two hours before taking more, even if you do not feel anything yet.
How long until I feel it?
It varies with tolerance, body weight, food and how much you pour. Effects can be delayed by two hours or more, so stick to one measured serving and wait before having more.
Our products
What is Wonder Water?
Wonder Water is 8th Wonder's THC seltzer: zero-proof sparkling water with hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, in 12 oz cans. It was Texas' first THC seltzer and comes in Lime, Grape, Peach Ginger and Black Cherry, in 5mg and 10mg 4-packs.
What is Ocho Verde?
Ocho Verde is a zero-proof cannabis spirit: a hemp-derived THC spirit in a 750mL bottle that you pour like liquor, into mocktails or over ice, with no alcohol. It comes in seven flavors: Original (vanilla), Agave, Peach, Maracuya (passionfruit), Pineapple, Citrus and Espresso.
How is a THC spirit different from alcohol?
A THC spirit like Ocho Verde has no alcohol. Instead of proof, each pour is measured in milligrams of THC, about 4mg per 1 oz (6mg per 1.5 oz serving). It is still intoxicating and THC can take two hours or more to fully kick in, so measure your pour, pace yourself and do not drive after drinking it.
How do I make a THC mocktail?
Keep it simple. Pour Wonder Water Lime over ice with a squeeze of lime for a THC Ranch Water mocktail. For Ocho Verde, measure 1 oz (about 4mg THC) and mix it with juice, soda or sparkling water over ice.
Can I mix THC drinks with alcohol?
We do not recommend it. Our THC drinks are made as a zero-proof alternative to alcohol, and both are intoxicating, so pick one or the other. Never drive after drinking either.
Are 8th Wonder THC drinks alcohol-free?
No. Our drinks and THC spirits are zero-proof: no alcohol, just hemp-derived THC. They are still intoxicating, so do not drive or operate machinery after drinking them.
Does this fall under TABC rules?
No. There is no alcohol in these products, so they are not under TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission) jurisdiction.
Where can I see lab test results?
Certificates of Analysis (COAs) showing cannabinoid test results are posted on our COA page.
How should I store the drinks?
Keep cans in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and heat, and chill before serving. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
How should I store gummies?
Keep them sealed in the original package in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight; heat can make gummies soften or stick together. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
How should I store it?
Store bottles upright with the cap tight, in a cool, dark place. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
