New Study Finds Cannabis Beverages Reduce Alcohol Use and Improve Sleep, Stress, and Mood
A new study featured by Marijuana Moment reveals that cannabis beverages could help consumers cut back on alcohol while improving overall well-being. Researchers found that participants who regularly enjoyed THC-infused drinks reported reduced alcohol intake, better sleep, lower stress, and an overall boost in mood.
As more consumers seek balanced, hangover-free ways to relax, cannabis drinks are becoming a refreshing alternative. The rise of functional, fast-acting beverages shows that cannabis culture is evolving beyond smoke and vapor and into a social experience you can sip.
At Tropicanna, Uncle Arnie’s Iced Tea Lemonade (100 mg) captures that shift perfectly. It’s bold, flavorful, and fast-acting, offering a satisfying way to unwind without the alcohol. Even better, Uncle Arnie’s products will be 30% off on November 12 and 26, so it’s the perfect time to explore their full lineup of infused flavors, available online or in-store at Tropicanna.
