What Are Cannabis Shots?

Cannabis shots refer to pre-measured liquid thc drink doses containing thc drinks or CBD. These single-use servings are available as bottled liquids, tinctures, or ready-to-drink beverages. Unlike edibles or smoking, cannabis shots deliver precise dosing and quicker effects when taken sublingually or added to drinks.

Most products contain between 5-100mg of cannabinoids per shot. They’re typically flavorless or lightly flavored to mask cannabis’s natural taste. Popular uses include controlled consumption for medical patients or recreational users wanting predictable effects.

Forms of Cannabis Shots

Alcohol-Based Tinctures

High-proof alcohol extracts cannabinoids quickly. Offers fast absorption under the tongue. Potent taste but extended shelf life.

Oil-Based Shots

MCT or coconut oil carriers. Milder flavor, slower onset. Better for adding to food/drinks.

Nano-Emulsified Drinks

Water-soluble thc drinks/CBD blends into beverages without separation. Faster effects than traditional edibles.

Pre-Dosed Beverages

Ready-to-drink cannabis-infused teas. Exact dosing per container.

Making Homemade Cannabis Shots

Possible but requires precise decarboxylation and infusion steps. Alcohol tinctures need food-grade ethanol. Oil-based versions require proper heating equipment. Home batches lack consistent dosing accuracy.
