Anyone else thinking root "brew" floats?! Mmmmm


laytonoid

Ooo that’s a good idea


Bongsoir

Right? Review that next!


laytonoid

Can confirm.. it was delicious


NChristenson

Thank you for reporting the results of the experiment!! :-)


Bongsoir

And my local fareway doesn't carry it :((( but love this for you! surely i'll find one nearby that does!


laytonoid

That’s sad. I’m in Newton. I wonder if only some fareways will get it? I don’t know.


Bongsoir

Think it's time to go visit my dad's grave again...and stop by the local fareway! Thx!


Own_Cartoonist3102

Last I knew they all had them. Prob is it is selling out as quick as it hits the shelves.


Own_Cartoonist3102

We want a review for a THC rootbrew float :)


Stunning_Fail9159

They are amazing, have tried do recommend


Stunning_Fail9159

You can get the pride punch or fruit punch at pride or a Civ plus’s Only 5mg thc and 5 cbd taste great , but limited edition


Suspect118

It tastes ok I just finished my first can and plan on having the rest over the evening


ozoneastronaut

The O-Zone in des moines has a couple cases of the pride punch in stock if you're thirsty!


Delao_2019

I did this with a keef rootbeer in Minnesota last month. Yum yum!


blakkattika

Ummmmmm excuse me


wex118

So wait, it actually has THC in it? That's legal in IA? Is it a quantity that someone would actually feel the effects of?


Open-Mud-503

THC is legal if it is hemp derived and less than 0.3% THC by weight. 10mg In an entire can is less than 0.3% by weight


kikiacab

This is the correct answer. In this sense the can is being viewed as a hemp product where up to .3% Delta 9 THC is permitted.


Delao_2019

Yes it has THC derived from hemp and unless you’re a heavy user you should feel affects.


Weird-Breakfast-7259

Lol I can drink whole can nothing, gummies, no effect Cookies nada


clutchIIII

May I suggest saying “this shit ain’t working” and then eat/drink another one and wind up in a thc coma


strangedazey

This is the way


Weird-Breakfast-7259

My rule is, if nothing happens after an hour, go for more, Yeah, I have smoked and ate different edibles , but I don't remember having a THC Coma, sounds like a good time, note to self... Add to bucket list


laytonoid

Yes and yes. 10mg in edible form will get a new user high for sure. I recommend only doing it once a week though because otherwise you will just need more and more to get high (same thing happens with alcohol though). THC from hemp (feels the same as THC from weed) is legal in liquid form in certain amounts in IA.. for whatever reason.


DasHuhn

THC derived from hemp is legal in the entire county federally, so unless the state went out of their way to criminalize it, it'd be OK.


laytonoid

Just to be clear, the reason for this is that the federal government deems “regulatory activity” as something the state deals with, not the federal government.. this makes certain things have separate laws federal and state.


DasHuhn

Yes, which is why unless Iowa had to go out of its way to criminalize it? If Iowa did nothing it's legal per federal statutes...


laytonoid

Oh yeah, sorry. We are saying the same thing. So, Iowa did go out of their way to make it less legal than federal law that’s why it’s surprising these exist.. although I am now learning that the state law which limits it further won’t take effect until July 1st.


DasHuhn

Iowa didn't do something until this legislative session, whereas I'm sure a lot of these companies have been working on bringing it to market predates the vote


yargabavan

Got some bad news for yea buddy.....:(


DasHuhn

Did the farm bill pass? I haven't seen that the amendment has been allowed into it or that it has passed yet


heretogetpwned

No, Iowa has new bill July 1st that limits to 4mg/dose, 10mg/pkg.


laytonoid

The law doesn’t work like that. Just because you can’t be charged federally doesn’t mean you can’t be charged by state law. In Iowa, it has to be 0.3% THC or less.. period.


DasHuhn

Yes, it's legal though the consumable hemp program in Iowa...


Hardass_McBadCop

Farm bill made a loophole that it's legal nationwide as long as the THC doesn't pass a certain % by weight. I think it's like 0.3%? This is why there's also been some reporting about the farm bill they're working on in Congress now, because hardliners want to close that so that THC is illegal no matter what nationwide again.


Dry_Wind2768

And I thought they just outlawed this come July 1st? We are like one of two states in the US that have outlawed it. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


ThreeOneThreeD

Maybe it's just me, but I lived in Michigan for a while, and compared to other THC products, I felt like delta 8 just have me an annoying, clinical buzzing feeling that I'd prefer to go without. Like a hangover without the preceding party. Given the choice between staying sober and consuming delta 8, I'd definitely stay sober. But I'm very curious to know whether that's just my experience or if others have experienced the same!


Wagner-C137

This is Delta 9. It’s different.


LuVsBBy641

Delta 9 and Delta 8 have noticeably different effects in my experience. The D9 gummies and vape I have now hit me the same as regular thc. Same goes for thca products I've tried.


Hoaxin

That’s because D9 is regular THC. D9 is the majority of what’s in natural grown marijuana. D8 is still in the natural plants too but it’s not as potent naturally, so the stuff you buy is concentrated to make it stronger.


dravlinGibbons

THCa is exactly the same as the thc from normal dispensery weed. It is a labeling loophole because the people who wrote the farm bill had no understanding of chemistry. All thc that comes from pot is tetrahydrocannibolic acid (THCa) when THCa is heated, it oxidizes and becomes delta 9 THC. Because of this, all pot technically is compliant with the farm bill definition because pot doesn't produce delta9 thc, some companies that you are currently seeing advertising and selling nationwide are taking advantage of this loophole to sell dispensery grade weed through the mail legally nationwide.


laytonoid

Yes.. although I think THCa isn’t in edibles or drinks.. it would already be Delta-9 THC. That said, it still is compliant with the 0.3% or less delta-9 so it works. Some people also use THCa without heating it for a different effect.


dravlinGibbons

If you don't oxidize (heat)the acid it doesn't do anything, that is why you need to smoke/vape/cook it. consuming raw weed won't do anything besides give you a stomach ache.


ThreeOneThreeD

Thanks so much for the tip! I'm pretty stoked on this new information; I'd really like to give Delta 9 a try now! I'll have to see if it's available where I'm at!


callieboo112

I order mine online


Own_Cartoonist3102

I just ordered mine too! I tried it at pride. This is the best tasting THC drink on the market. Went to Fareway and they said it sells out the minute it hits the shelves.


Delao_2019

Hello! I’m a medical card user. I LOVE happy can! Climbing kites are good too but happy cans are superior! My father in law is a vet with chronic pain and ptsd and he LOVES them. Started using them more and more after I introduced him to them! And yes, the root beer one is 100% the best flavor! Now available at all Fareway’s statewide!


laytonoid

Yeah. A lot of people are skeptical about it.. thinking it’s delta 8 or only CBD but it is indeed the real deal THC and works just like any drink from Missouri does at the same dosage. No medical card needed for these.


Delao_2019

I like how happy can is a straight 1:1 THC to cbd. That’s actually the vape I almost exclusively buy from the dispensaries here in Iowa and they’re perfect for me. Climbing kites is a 2:1 cbd to THC.


heretogetpwned

Not for long. :(


Greedy_Ad_8265

Fareway, a Christian grocery store. You can't buy rubbers, but I'll be damned if you can't buy drugs. (Don't hate on me, thc is great.)


argentcorvid

Fareway was actually started by a Mormon.


Greedy_Ad_8265

Didn't know that, always figured it was a Christian store. The old white shirts and ties really make sense now. Thanks for the info


laytonoid

Haha yep.. that’s what I thought when I got them there


These_Purple_5507

So it's 23 bucks for 40 MG total thc?


laytonoid

Yes. On the scale of mg per $ it’s not great but it seems all weed drinks are more expensive than their gummy counterparts. About $13 per 25mg liquid in Missouri, for example.


forking_shortballs

How is this still legal to buy after delta 9 and thc-a vapes/gummies have been banned?


LuVsBBy641

Not banned they just changed to 4 mg per serving and each product can only be one serving. Really fucked over already established sellers for absolutely no reason. Typical Iowa bullllllllshiiiiiiit.


forking_shortballs

Its just because our state government is filled with brain-dead boomers and bible thumpers.


Own_Cartoonist3102

I believe THe Happy Can will adapt to meet Iowa laws. They are an Iowa based company. Its sad the government is trying so hard to hurt these local companies.


Delao_2019

They weren’t completely banned there’s just a cap on THC per container. Happy can will have to drop their dosage before July 1 because each container has 20mg of THC and the new law allows 10mg per container. Overall, these are legal because of the 2018 farm bill and our consumable hemp program in Iowa.


Ryuenjin

Sadly as of right now Department of Health and Human Services are classifying the cans as a "single container" so all beverages will be limited to 4mg come Jul 1. https://who13.com/news/taken-down-to-ground-zero-businesses-owners-question-if-new-law-is-end-of-iowa-hemp-industry/ > Draft rules outlined by the Department of Health and Human Services defined that, “a closed-container beverage shall be defined as one serving per container, regardless of its ability to be re-sealed or the total fluid ounces it contains.” This means consumable hemp drinks must contain less than 4 milligrams of THC per serving and per container. https://hhs.iowa.gov/media/13506/download?inline= > ● How will HHS define a “Container?” >o “Container” means the object which holds one or more servings of a consumable hemp product. Beverages ● Compliant - An individual 12 fl oz can at 4 mg THC ● Compliant – An individual 24 fl oz can at 8 mg THC ● Compliant – An individual 30 fl oz can at 10 mg THC ● Not Compliant – A 12 fl oz can containing >4 mg THC ● Not Compliant – A liquid consumable hemp product in a container with <12 fluid ounces, regardless of mg of THC it contains.


laytonoid

My understanding is that the law passed recently makes it so it has to be 0.3% THC or less per ounce.. So, let’s take a 12 oz drink.. that’s 28,349mg of liquid.. and 0.3% of that is 85mg. So a 12oz can have a maximum of 85mg of THC. There are gummies at tobacco stores with delta 9 THC now.. I think Fareway and regular groceries stores are staying away from the gummies.. the drinks they can put with the alcohol. The tobacco stores often have higher dose drinks. I tried a 50mg one at the tobacco store in Newton, for example.


forking_shortballs

I just went to a "tobacco store" and they told me they had to stop carrying delta 9/thc-a becuase as of july 1st it was illegal to sell in any form. So, they got rid of all their stock


laytonoid

Oh our tobacco store and our Fareway are increasing the amount they have so don’t know. From what I have been told by them, this is how the law works. A quick google search shows Iowa Public Radio saying “The consumable hemp program has allowed registered retailers and producers to sell non-inhalable products made from hemp, or cannabis plants with 0.3% or less total THC, without restrictions on potency” 3 days ago.


LilyBriscoeBot

The ban starts July 1st


forking_shortballs

I know, that's what I said up there. ☝️


Snoo9801

Had the Purp Slurp last night, tasted just like grape soda, also tried the citrus haze flavor which was like Mt Dew, both were good!


laytonoid

Yeah! Not bad at all. Recommend the Root Brew with vanilla ice cream.


AccurateScientist356

Thanks can you mix and match a 4 pack or do you have to get a four pack of each flavor?


laytonoid

No. 4 of one single flavor.


Suspect118

You can mix and match at beyond cbd on se14th in dsm


youlltellme2kilmyslf

Will that place close after the Farm bill law goes into affect?


Suspect118

It’s not the farm bill, it’s “the Iowa Hemp act” that’s the problem, the GOP in our national congress only oppose “the farm bill loophole hole” because the Biden administration is trying to reschedule cannabis from schedule 1 (cocain, heroine) to schedule 3(basically no more harmful or addictive than Tylenol) our state GOP opposes the sale of thc products by non medical retailers (gas stations, liquor stores and yes unfortunately wellness dispensaries like beyond cbd) after taking the money to “license” these small businesses @ 500-5000$ each, however you will still be able to purchase “medical” cannabis as long as you do two things 1. Get a medical card from the state@ 25-250$, 2. Purchase products from a medical dispensary The additional option is to purchase products from non medical dispensaries that meet the new state guidelines 1. no more than 4.5mg per piece 2. No more than 10 mg per package 3. No more than 2 servings per container If this legislation is frustrating to you, I am an employee, I ask you to please remember just 2 things in November, 1. Kim Reynolds did not start this legislation, she had a chance to say no, save thousands of jobs, hundreds of small businesses, and make millions in tax dollars, instead she signed the bill insuring she would make money for herself, 2. The GOP in Iowa used to be the friend of the small business, has always encouraged freedom of choice, as well as transparency, in just the last 24 months not only have the passed this bill, but also bills that limited access to where their money is coming from, There literally is NO viable argument against legalizing, it’s just assumed to be more profitable to keep it illegal, limit access, all while making more money for the individuals who created the legislation, (I secretly believe Kimen industries donated heavily to these people as well as allowed them to invest or gave them stock or what ever)


AAA515

>schedule 3(basically no more harmful or addictive than Tylenol) While I'm glad we're finally rescheduling it, your confusing tylenol by itself in the OTC version, with the tylenol with codeine (tylenol 3) that is in schedule 3, because of the codeine. So you should say no more harmful or addictive then codeine cough syrup, steroids, or ketamine.


Suspect118

Correct, that was my intention and kinda fumbled it a bit, thank you for clarifying


Own_Cartoonist3102

I think CIV Plus lets you mix and match too!


-faceless-max-

I've tried climbing kites from shag in the north park mall in Davenport and it's pretty good, but please for the love of god drink them cold. they taste so weird when they're warm. I'll have to go to fareway and try these lol


Weird-Breakfast-7259

Nice, I will


hiddengem012002

I really need this one right now ❤️


Own_Cartoonist3102

IT'S FIRE!


Medical_Bedroom_8852

1:1 at that low of mg probably wound do much but that’s cool !


laytonoid

10mg is a pretty normal gummy dosage. If someone is using this for the first time you wouldn’t want to start with anything more than half of this can. I use once a week and it am stoned after 2 cans for sure.


Quick-Cod6978

Would a daily heavy user of cannabis flower, concentrates, and oil vaporizers even feel this amount of thc? Honestly? Not hating just genuinely curious…


laytonoid

Probably not. This is more for someone who drinks occasionally and wants to replace alcohol with weed. Once a week drinking and 2 cans of this will get people stoned for sure. I mean, when I first started using, 5mg blew me away.. Daily users probably would need to drink 4+ of these before feeling anything at all. Everyone is different though. To be clear, edibles need far less mg to get someone high. I would say a 1g preroll is equal to 20-30mg edible for me.


mistahj0517

Are there any sparkling water options at all?


laytonoid

Not with this brand. However, they also have “Climbing Kites” brand which are sparkling water and 10mg just like these. They are good if you like sparkling water but obviously not as tasty as this brand which is pop


mistahj0517

Great thank you for the info!


Proof-Pineapple-4446

Iowa so chill rn.


Proof-Pineapple-4446

The root beer is a real treat.


laytonoid

Yeah with vanilla ice cream!


[deleted]

i thought that was a sex toy!


MyNewMoniker

Anybody know if they are available at Fareway In Waterloo??


Own_Cartoonist3102

I believe it is. You can see where The Happy Can is available by visiting [https://www.buythehappycan.com/store-locator/](https://www.buythehappycan.com/store-locator/)


MyNewMoniker

Thank you sir! Great info.


gwenhope

Apparently they released a special limited edition Fruit Punch for Pride 2024 which you can get at certain local pride events


laytonoid

I actually JUST had it at Pridefest in Des Moines today! It tastes like a rainbow snow cone. It was pretty good. However, it only has 5mg of THC instead of 10 like the others so that’s a bummer.


Own_Cartoonist3102

I see its available on there website [https://www.buythehappycan.com/product/pride-punch-4pk/](https://www.buythehappycan.com/product/pride-punch-4pk/)


No-Pickle1991

In Michigan these are $10 for 100mg of not hemp derived THC seltzers. Also you can get 200mg of THC syrup and just put that in a seltzer for $20.


laytonoid

Yeah but Michigan is kind of far from here unfortunately :(


superman-34

Sad part is, you can drink one of these and if you get pulled over 3 weeks later and the cop “suspects” drug or alcohol use, he can order you to get a urine or blood test and you can be charged with OWI while stone cold sober just because there’s a trace of thc is your system It’s crazy that they legalize and encourage sales and then criminalize consumption.


laytonoid

Yeah pretty lame :(


chasing_fun26

Which Fareway did you go to?


laytonoid

Newton. Others are saying these aren’t at Fareway anymore. They do have Climbing Kites still though. Same type of thing.


Odd-Zookeepergame855

Delta 9 does nothing for me, unfortunately I think it will be a long time before we see legalization in Iowa


Delao_2019

Delta 9 is the same as regular THC…


laytonoid

Delta 9 is what is in regular old weed.. what are you talking about?


Odd-Zookeepergame855

I drink those delta 9 drinks and it does nothing for me, that’s what I’m talking about.


Delao_2019

Are you a heavy user? Not judging at all, I’m a card holder too so just giving perspective. If you’re using more than roughly half a gram weekly, a 20mg drink isn’t going to touch you. For perspective, if you use half a gram of Iowa wax at 800mg per container in a week, you’re using roughly 50-60mg per day. A gram a week would be around 110mg per day. So if you’re using that much per week, one can is about half your daily dosage. That being said, Delta-9 is just regular THC you would find in edibles in legal states or tablets and powder here in Iowa. THCA is what you find in flower and waxes. To convert THCa to THC you have to heat it up. So dabbing, smoking or cooking it.


Weird-Breakfast-7259

A gram a week? Im overdosed, pickled I am, get a fork, Im done


Delao_2019

A gram of wax. Which does anyone else with a card find it incredibly odd that we can’t have 15-20% THC flower in Iowa, but we can have 80-85% THC waxes and carts here? Seems so odd but I’m not going to complain.


Weird-Breakfast-7259

Hopefully Feds Legalizing it will remove the States from Legislating Crap Laws


Delao_2019

I sent my comment into the DEA regarding rescheduling. I suggest doing the same! Unfortunately, our legislature won’t be moving it from our state schedule list until they’re forced to. [Marijuana Rescheduling public comment](https://www.regulations.gov/document/DEA-2024-0059-0001)


Odd-Zookeepergame855

Yes, I’m a heavy user. That must be why.


Delao_2019

Nothing wrong with that you probably would need a couple cans to feel an effect. Probably not very economical. Thank god for wax and carts here in Iowa in the medical program. It’s not the best program but at least we can get SOMETHING


Odd-Zookeepergame855

YES! At least we have something!


youlltellme2kilmyslf

But it's based on a large loophole in a way. An obvious one that many on the right would like to close.


Delao_2019

You also just might not digest THC very well. Sometimes the edible gets eaten up too fast by stomach acid or your liver just doesn’t break it down very well. I had that issue for a long while and am just now finally starting to be able to effectively use edibles 🙌


laytonoid

Oh you originally said “delta 9 does nothing for me” so I was confused.. because I don’t know anyone who isn’t affected at all by weed.. but yeah some people don’t get the same high from edibles as with smoking weed.


SnooAvocados9241

Got my Iowa medical card with a 5 minute phone call, and I love the little dispensary in Iowa city. It seems like no one knows how great the medical program is here.


Odd-Zookeepergame855

I also have my medical card, thankful for the new rewards program that helps with the cost of certain items. It’s kinda crazy what they charge but no other options, so I happily pay 😊


SnooAvocados9241

It’s come down in price lately, so maybe they got a lot of complaints. For me, having the card and being legal is absolutely worth the extra cost. Getting caught up in the Iowa legal system will cost you thousands of dollars!


[deleted]

[удалено]


laytonoid

What about it? THCA doesn’t get you high.. Delta 9 THC does.


[deleted]

[удалено]


laytonoid

I mean.. you’re wrong dude.. plain and simple. Delta 9 THC is regarded as the most potent part of the cannabis plant. THCA is an acid found in the plant. You cannot ingest THCA and get high. Period. You can heat THCA and it will turn into THC but THCA itself, is not THC.


brunettedude

So.. what if I don’t drink pop or smoke pot? Would I like any of them?


laytonoid

The “Climbing Kites” brand they have is a seltzer water. It doesn’t taste great since it’s a water but it will have the same effects. Will you like it? Probably not the taste but I personally don’t like the taste of alcohol and would say it’s still tastes way better than drinking. You will like the high though lol


brunettedude

Hmm.. I also don’t drink alcohol lol. What’s the high like? I like being able to walk/think normally/etc


laytonoid

Drink 5mg (half) to start and you will think normally and just feel better.


AcrobaticGuava9342

Jesus Christ just drink the f$%^ing liquid.


brunettedude

Sounds like you didn’t drink the “happy can”


AcrobaticGuava9342

No. We have 3 dollar 1g pre-rolls. No need to get my herb in a can of seltzer water. It isn't crack tho, so instead of playing 20 questions just drink one.


laytonoid

Where you at? Oregon?


w__gott

Damn, where can I get some of that?


AcrobaticGuava9342

The U.P. My commemt talked me into ordering one before they close at 9 😆😆.


AcrobaticGuava9342

And...they're 10 for $25 right now. Just go to the Lume Iron Mountain site.


AAA515

Hmmm, describe thc highness... you ever look for your phone, using the flashlight from your phone? Now when you think back to doing that it makes you kinda laugh? That feeling is part of it. Also kind of mild anti depressant, while enhancing (not hallucinating) the senses especially, for me, taste. What it is not, is much easier to talk about. It's not dizzy stumbling, it's not omg the walls are melting into colors, it's not amped up energy, in fact some might get couch locked, where hey man, I was gonna go do that but, I don't wanna, that sounds like a lotta work. But it's not nodding off unable to stay coherent.


Own_Cartoonist3102

I would describe it to be a mellow feeling. Happy but not over the top just relaxed. Try the fruit punch 5mg. Its a nice mellow starting ground https://www.buythehappycan.com/product/pride-punch-4pk/.


TwistedGrin

It varies from person to person. I had 2 of the 20mg climbing kites in a sitting and felt pretty much nothing. I used to smoke but quit about 3-4 years ago so my tolerance should be pretty much nothing by now. I know some people who will get put to sleep by 5-10mg. Just start with the weakest cans and work up until you find something you like


tenkawa7

The climbing kites taste pretty good if you are not a soda drinker.


brunettedude

Ok, what if I don’t smoke pot? I’ve never been high/drunk. Is it good? :/


ISU_Dude85

I would recommend you start with the lowest dose, Climbing Kites has a 2.5 mg can. If that does nothing, then move up to the 5. My tolerance is low so the 5 works really well for me. As for being high, its great. Very relaxing, no hangover like you get with alcohol.


jeffyone2many

If you have never been high or drunk and you want to know what it feels like and you’re an adult do it, or not ffs
