Frequently Asked Questions
We’re many people’s first experience with a THC-infused seltzer. So questions are a good thing. Here’s our answers to the most common ones.
Product Questions
How does WYNK taste?
Like your favorite refreshing, fruit-forward seltzer, with none of the alcohol bite or strange floral aftertaste common to some edibles.
How does WYNK compare to edibles and alcohol?
WYNK was created to be subtler and faster-acting than an edible. Whereas an edible can take up to two hours to kick in, with WYNK you’ll feel a light, focused buzz balanced with the mellowness of the CBD in about 10-15 minutes.
This gives you better control over your high, which will also subside faster—after about 90 minutes. Plus, zero alcohol means you can put the hangover dread to bed.
Does WYNK have any side effects?
Nope. Just expect a light, bubbly buzz. THC and CBD impact everyone differently, so we recommend starting with one can and working your way up from there.
Which strains are in WYNK?
Edibles and drinkables are often made with a distillate of pure THC oil. This THC oil is made through a cannabis purification process that removes things like waxes, sugars, and other plant material. This purification process ensures products don’t taste or smell bitter—a common problem with homemade edibles—but it also removes terpenes, the compounds that drive the specific effects from Indica or Sativa strains.
Now, you may be asking yourself, “How can an edible be classified as Sativa or Indica when it uses oil that doesn’t have terpenes profiles?”
We thought you’d never ask.
While some companies may add back synthetic or cannabis-derived terpenes to deliver the characteristics of these strains, no research proves that our bodies can absorb terpenes when ingested. In fact, the effects of cannabis will vary regardless of the method of consumption, even when products are made from the same strain. So with WYNK, you don’t have to worry about Indica or Sativa knowing that every sip is a celebration of the good stuff: pure THC.
Why does it have both THC and CBD? What’s the difference?
WYNK is all about delivering a balanced high. So while the THC will get you high, the CBD delivers calm, chill vibes.
For those interested in the nerdier answer: THC binds with cannabinoid receptor type 1 in the brain to produce a euphoric feeling.
By contrast, CBD binds very weakly to CB1 receptors and doesn’t have the same psychoactive effects as THC, though it is shown to help with anxiety and depression.
How much should I drink?
Everybody’s response to cannabis will be unique. If you’re newer to cannabis, we recommend starting slow with one can of WYNK and letting the buzz set in for about 10-15 minutes before deciding whether you’d like to reach for another.
Will I get a hangover?
No alcohol means you can take the edge off without taking the morning off. No headaches. No regrets. Just a light, social buzz that’s good any night of the week
Do I need a prescription?
You’ll only need a prescription in states where cannabis is legal only for medical use.
Is it safe to drink WYNK if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend consulting with your doctor before consuming cannabis while pregnant or breastfeeding.
How is WYNK infused with the perfect balance of THC:CBD?
WYNK sources the THC extract in its products from Open Book Extracts, a premium cannabinoid product manufacturer certified by NSF for Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). Open Book also holds an ISO 9001:2015 certification, is USDA certified organic, FDA registered, and registered with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS).
We specifically chose Open Book because their products are traceable, compliant, and safe. All of Open Book’s products adhere to applicable state and federal regulations, and their food-grade manufacturing facility complies with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) cGMP requirements.”
Is this the same WYNK I get at the dispensary?
The WYNK available at the dispensary contains D9 THC, and so does the WYNK purchased online. However, there’s a slight difference in the source of D9 THC. The dispensary product uses D9 THC derived from marijuana, while the online product uses D9 THC derived from hemp. It’s worth noting that hemp plants and marijuana plants belong to the same cannabis species.
All our products, whether found at a dispensary, liquor store, or on our website, are crafted with ingredients from the cannabis plant and share the same active cannabinoid – D9 THC.
In essence, the WYNK you purchase at the dispensary is identical to the one available online. They share the same third-party tested quality, active ingredients, taste, and efficacy.
But Is the WYNK sold online tested like the WYNK I buy at the dispensary?
The WYNK you purchase on our website, as well as in liquor stores, bars, and restaurants in certain parts of the US, undergo independent and third-party testing by batch. These tests cover various aspects, including:
- Cannabinoid (CBD and THC) levels
- Microbials
- Pesticides
- Residual solvents
- Heavy metals
- Mycotoxins
- Water activity
- Foreign matter
Products are only released into commerce upon successful completion of a certificate of analysis (COA). Each WYNK product features a QR code directing consumers to https://drinkwynk.com/coa-search-hemp/, where they can access a COA for each specific product. Furthermore, all WYNK products carry an item-specific batch code and expiration date.
If you have any questions regarding how to interpret the information on your can, please don’t hesitate to send us a message!
How does drinking THC Drinks Compare to Drinking Alcohol?
Cannabis and alcohol can both induce a similar buzz, but they have different effects on our bodies.
When we consume beer, wine, or spirits, the alcohol quickly enters our bloodstream. Our liver metabolizes alcohol, processing about one drink per hour.
Consuming alcohol beyond this rate can lead to intoxication and the unpleasant side effects of a hangover.
On the other hand, THC drinks like WYNK offer a unique alternative to alcohol consumption. In low doses, THC beverages can provide a milder, more controlled buzz similar to alcohol, but without the negative effects associated with excessive drinking. THC drinks also offer a customizable experience, allowing users to adjust their dosage and tailor their high to their preference.
For the sake of comparison to the familiar form factor of drinking alcohol, we consider our 2.5mg cans of WYNK to be equivalent to a standard alcoholic drink in terms of THC dosage. Here is an infographic to help illustrate the comparison:
