# Sparkling THC Beverages Sprig's Refreshing Citrus Drink Includes Biologically Active Cannabinoids By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-12-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprig References: [drinksprig](http://www.drinksprig.com/) 'Sprig' is the name of a refreshing citrus sparkling drink that sets itself apart from others in the beverage market by being a [THC-infused soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diet-root-beer-thc-drink). The unique soda "[drinkable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariona)" was developed as an alternative to the many marijuana edibles on the market, which are also packed with THC, a biologically active cannabinoid from the cannabis plant. As Sprig notes, these edibles "can be a bit much for those of us looking for an elating but manageable buzz." Sprig is touted as the first-ever scientifically formulated sparkling beverage infused with a proprietary THC extract. Within about 30 minutes the effects of the infusion are noticeable and come on a bit more quickly than as with traditional [marijuana-infused edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytodrink-thc-beverages). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Thc-infused Beverages:** Opportunity for developing more THC-infused beverages that offer a refreshing and controlled high. - **Cannabis-based Edibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create cannabis edibles that provide a manageable buzz. - **Scientific Formulation:** Increasing demand for scientifically formulated cannabis-infused products that provide consistent effects. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can capitalize on the growing market for THC-infused drinks. - **Cannabis:** The cannabis industry can expand its product offerings with innovative cannabis-based edibles. - **Pharmaceutical:** Pharmaceutical companies can leverage scientific formulations to develop cannabis-infused products with precise dosages and effects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Juicy Cannabis-Infused Spritzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-spritzer.md) - [Alcohol-Free THC-Infused Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canna-drinks-sparkling-mocktails.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Sparkling Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-sparkling-beverage.md) - [Fast-Acting THC Seltzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastacting-thc-seltzers.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Social Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daizy.md) - [THC-Infused Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houseplant-sparkling-water.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Microdosing Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightly-sparkling-beverage.md) - [Classically Flavored Cannabis Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncle-arnies-sodapop.md) - [Fruity Cannabis Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowdose-spritzers.md)
