Ask five people what 5mg of THC feels like and you'll get five different answers — body weight, tolerance and what you ate for lunch all play a part. But the most useful comparison we've found after pouring thousands of these: a 5mg drink lands roughly where one strong cocktail does. Social, talkative, a little lighter on your feet.
The big difference is the clock. Alcohol builds as you sip; a nano-emulsified THC drink shows up in 15–20 minutes, plateaus for about an hour, and tapers off without the morning tax. That delayed start is where new drinkers get into trouble — they decide "it's not working" at minute ten and open a second can. Don't be minute-ten guy.
Our rule for a first can: drink half, wait 45 minutes, then decide. You can always have another — you can't have less. And if 5mg turns out to be your dose forever, congratulations: you've found the cheapest good time in the building.
