This tasty alcoholic beverage is best served over ice and tastes like delicious cannabis Sativa. You can make cocktails out of it or drink it straight, whichever way you prefer to enjoy it. But what is cannabis vodka? Can you make it yourself or is it only available in stores? Who makes it? We’ll answer these questions and more!

What is Cannabis Vodka?

Cannabis vodka is vodka infused with cannabis, usually by way of a tincture. It is not a vodka made from cannabis, but rather a vodka with cannabis added to it. It does not contain leaves or cannabis seeds, but it does contain alcohol. Cannabis vodka will not get you high. This beverage has cannabis added for flavor and it has not gone through the proper process for the THC to be activated in it, as THC has to be activated via heat (smoking a bowl, baking with weed, decarbing). 

You can make a tincture using alcohol and fresh cannabis that will get you high, but you’re not going to find that in the same place you’ll find this new cannabis infused vodka. This beverage is called Green Dragon, and it will get you very, very high.
