I tried a caffeine- and cannabis-infused seltzer from Cann, a rising star in the weed drinks space.
I loved the Passion Peach flavor and the giddy buzz I felt after drinking it.
My tasting companion and I agreed that these would be the perfect drink for a night out.

Caffeine and cannabis might not seem like an intuitive combination, but anyone who's enjoyed an iced coffee with a joint in hand knows the two substances can work in harmony.
Cann's Passion Peach Mate combines THC and caffeine.

I've seen Yerba Mate drinks sold at my neighborhood bagel shop, but I hadn't tried the caffeinated brew before this experience.
Yerba mate is traditional South American infused drink, particularly in Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, southern states of Brazil.

The Peach Passion Mate flavor might be my favorite out of the Canns I've tried. The overall taste is like a sparkling peach iced tea.
Tove Lo, the Swedish musician and Cann investor, collaborated on the company's latest drink.

My friend was smiling wide about 15 minutes after starting on her drink, and I started to feel an effect soon after.
My friend and I enjoyed a couple "Hi Boys" on my patio.

The caffeine buzz wore off after about an hour, leaving us feeling relaxed but not overly tired.
I've tried Cann's THC- and CBD-infused tonics in the past.

Since launching in Los Angeles in 2019, Cann has quickly made a name for itself in the "drinkables" space.
Cann's other flavors include rosemary grapefruit, blood orange cardamom, lemon lavender, and ginger lemongrass.
