Hemp-Derived THC: The Basics
New to THC drinks? This page covers the basics: what hemp-derived THC is, how our drinks are made and tested in Houston, how to choose a dose, and how a THC drink compares to a beer or a cocktail.
What hemp-derived THC is
THC (Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main compound in cannabis that produces a high. Hemp is the cannabis plant defined as containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis. Hemp-derived THC is Delta-9 THC sourced from hemp. Every 8th Wonder THC product uses hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, and every one is made for adults 21 and over.
How our drinks are made and tested
Wonder Water is crafted in Houston by 8th Wonder, a brewery that brings its craft-beverage process to THC. It starts with zero-calorie, reverse-osmosis sparkling water, infused with a fast-acting, nano-emulsified hemp-derived THC. Lab results (Certificates of Analysis) are posted on our COA page. Read more about how our drinks are made and tested.
How to choose a dose
- Wonder Water 5mg (12 oz can): our beginner pick.
- Wonder Water 10mg (12 oz can): for people who already know how THC affects them.
- Wonder Water gummies: 10mg per gummy, 10 per pack. Start with one, or half of one.
- Ocho Verde zero-proof THC spirit: 100mg per 750mL bottle, about 4mg per 1 oz or about 6mg per 1.5 oz serving. Measure with a jigger.
Start low, go slow, and give it time: effects can be delayed by two hours or more. Our dosing guide goes deeper, and 5mg vs 10mg Wonder Water compares the two cans.
THC drinks vs. alcohol
Our THC drinks and spirits are zero-proof. Strength is measured in milligrams of THC instead of proof, and the effect builds more slowly than a drink of alcohol, so pace yourself. They are still intoxicating: do not drive after drinking them, and we do not recommend mixing them with alcohol. Read the full comparison.
Reading a THC label
Look for THC per serving, THC per container, the number of servings and a link to lab results. Our label guide walks through it.
