You Ask, We Provide: Higher(😉) Green Monkés

In October 2023, we made our initial batch of Green Monké Happy Sodas with hemp-derived D9 THC. It seems like yesterday!

All of the drinks in our early batches contained 3mg of D9 THC and 6mg of CBD. At the time, we thought that 3mg of THC in a beverage would have roughly the same kick as a cocktail. However, no one really knew, so, with our goal to be an alcohol alternative, we wanted to start low and accessible (i.e. not scary) for people who were new to cannabis (often, cutely referred to as the “canna-curious”).

Now, eight months later, and in response to your near unanimous requests, we have increased the dosage in all of our drinks so that:

1. Our award-winning Green Monké Tropical Citrus now features 10mg of THC and 10mg of CBD;

2. Our new flavor, Green Monké Blue Raspberry now features 10mg of THC and 10mg of CBD;

3. Our best-selling Green Monké Mango Guava has 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD; and

4. My favorite, Green Monké Orange Passionfruit also has 5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD.

As you will notice on the side of our cans, to reflect the increased potency of the Tropical Citrus and Blue Raspberry drinks, we have moved the “Potency Meter” from Low to Medium.

The Potency Meter is our rough effort to help you figure out the right amount for you. We thought about adding personal reference points like “Around 10mg, my wife starts laughing at my jokes” or “At 40 mg, I have lost sense of time” but we did not have space on the can for the related graphics. . . after your 5th Green Monké, if your creative juices are flowing, and you have a better idea for how we can present the Potency Meter, PLEASE send it along.  If we adopt your “meter”, then we will send you a free case of each of our drinks!

Because the THC drink industry is so new, most consumers are still figuring out how many drinks it takes for them to reach their happy place. And, of course, like alcohol, our Green Monké Happy Sodas will hit the same person harder on some days than on others. With our Potency Meter, we are trying to help those new to the category. However, there is no substitute for personal investigation. And we hope that each of you enjoys discovering how your body is affected by each additional Green Monké as much as we have enjoyed our “research”.
