Flip over most THC drinks and you will find THC, maybe some CBD, and not much else. Flip over a LIFTD and you will find 9mg of CBG next to 3mg of THC, in every can, every flavor. That is not an accident.
What CBG actually is
CBG stands for cannabigerol. It is one of the many cannabinoids the hemp plant produces, and chemists sometimes call it the mother cannabinoid because the plant builds other cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, from its acidic form. CBG on its own is non-intoxicating. That is the science. Three sentences, and we will stop there.
Why most brands skip it
Hemp plants produce CBG in small amounts, because most of it gets converted into other cannabinoids as the plant matures. Small amounts mean harder extraction and higher cost. So most brands do not bother.
Why we do not skip it
We built LIFTD around a specific idea: a light, social lift you can actually pace. A 3 to 1 ratio of CBG to THC is part of how we get there. The THC brings the lift. The CBG rounds out the can. Together they make LIFTD feel like LIFTD.
The exact numbers, every time:
- 3mg hemp-derived THC per 12oz can
- 9mg CBG per 12oz can
- 80 calories, real cane sugar, electrolytes for Highdration
- Zero alcohol
Every batch is tested by an independent Connecticut lab, and every report is published. Do not take our word for the numbers. Read the lab results.
How it fits the whole can
CBG is one leg of the build. The others are flavor you already know, real cane sugar so you actually taste it, and electrolytes so the can puts water back instead of pulling it out. If you want to see how that lands in a glass, meet the flavors.
Start low, go slow, and enjoy the lift.
