THC energy drinks are one of the newest corners of the cannabis beverage world. They pair a familiar energy-drink format with THC, which makes them a little different from a standard THC soda. If you’re curious about trying one, here’s what to know first.
What Is a THC Energy Drink?
A THC energy drink is a cannabis-infused beverage made in the style of an energy drink. Most combine THC with caffeine and bright, citrusy flavors. Like other cannabis drinks, they’re measured in milligrams of THC, so the label tells you exactly how much is in each serving and in the whole can.
In legal cannabis markets, THC energy drinks made with marijuana-derived THC are sold only through licensed dispensaries, and you must be 21 or older to buy them.
How Are THC Energy Drinks Different From THC Sodas?
The biggest difference is caffeine. A THC soda, like our Classic Sodas, is built around a familiar soda flavor. A THC energy drink adds caffeine to the mix, so you’re consuming two active ingredients at once.
That makes it extra important to read the label. Check both the THC content and the caffeine content before you open one, and think about how much caffeine you’ve already had that day.
Meet High Octane
High Octane is Keef’s cannabis-infused energy soda. It’s a hand-crafted citrus blend made with lemon and lime, and it’s infused with rotating hybrid strains.
High Octane is available in different strengths depending on the market, including a high-potency High Octane Xtreme in select states. Packaging and caffeine content can vary by state and dose, so always check the label on the can you buy.

Who Are THC Energy Drinks For?
THC energy drinks are for adults 21 and older who already know how they respond to THC and are comfortable with caffeine. If you’re brand new to cannabis drinks, a low-dose THC soda may be a simpler place to start. THC Drinks for Beginners covers the basics.
If you’re sensitive to caffeine, pregnant or nursing, or taking any medications, talk to your doctor before trying a THC energy drink.
