Do Buzz Packs™ make you hungry?

Our Buzz Packs™ blend 5 mg of THC with 5 mg of CBD to give you a mild appetite boost without tempting you to raid the fridge. Stick to the recommended dose and you'll enjoy a pleasant hunger without going overboard.

Our cannabis beverages let you tap into the benefits of microdosing cannabis. Gentle doses boost your mood and help you relax while naturally stimulating your appetite—all without brain fog or nasty side effects.

How do Buzz Packs work?

Buzz Packs use water-soluble technology to deliver 5 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 5 mg of cannabidiol (CBD) per packet. Just mix with any drink and let the powder dissolve, allowing your body to absorb them through digestion.

Our balanced cannabinoid ratio creates a pleasant middle ground: THC provides a gentle mood lift and relieves chronic pain, while CBD keeps things in check and offers neuropathic pain relief, blood pressure support, and other health benefits.

Each THC powder stick pack also packs 2.5 g of fiber, which helps your digestion and reduces those blood sugar spikes that trigger munchies. Think of it as part wellness supplement, part cannabis experience.

“Just started using the Buzz packs. They are not super strong, but one pack mixed in a glass of orange juice made for a smooth and calming nightcap…”

—Chris

How does cannabis affect appetite?

Cannabis mostly influences appetite through Delta 9 THC, which triggers increased hunger through several mechanisms.

• THC interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates many physiological functions including appetite. When THC activates CB1 cannabinoid receptors, it initiates reactions that increase hunger, commonly known as the munchies.
• THC increases the production of ghrelin, the hormone that signals hunger to the brain. Research has demonstrated "significant alterations of appetite hormones ghrelin, peptide YY, and leptin in blood" after Delta 9 consumption.
• The hypothalamus, which controls hunger and satiety, responds to THC. Studies found cannabis increases activity in specific neuronal populations in the mediobasal hypothalamus when subjects anticipated or consumed food.
• Food sensory experiences become enhanced with THC, making flavors and aromas more appealing. A study published in Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior confirmed THC increases meal frequency and food-seeking behavior.

These appetite-stimulating properties benefit people with appetite loss from medical conditions or treatments. THC addresses appetite issues related to eating disorders, AIDS-related appetite suppression, and chemotherapy-induced appetite loss.

CBD also influences appetite regulation (but differently than THC). While not directly stimulating hunger, it reduces nausea and digestive discomfort, which can improve food intake and nutrition indirectly.

The effects of Buzz Packs on appetite

Buzz Packs balance 5 mg THC and 5 mg CBD for an experience that affects hunger in specific ways. Unlike high-dose THC products that trigger intense munchies, Buzz Packs:

• Wake up your appetite without sending you to raid the pantry.
• Make food more enjoyable while keeping portion control possible.
• Balance hunger signals through CBD's moderating effect on THC.
• Provide appetite support without extreme cravings.
• Help with mild appetite issues without overcorrection.

The recommended dosage stimulates appetite without causing unintentional weight gain or significant changes in body weight. If you have health conditions affecting appetite, start with smaller amounts and monitor your body's response.

What factors influence your appetite?

Buzz Packs don’t necessarily trigger your appetite, but in certain situations, different factors might combine to spur hunger. These factors affect your appetite whether you’re using Buzz Packs or other cannabis products:

• THC content: Higher levels more often trigger hunger. Excessive consumption may increase energy intake beyond normal levels.
• Individual metabolism: Genetics, body composition, and blood sugar levels affect sensitivity to appetite-stimulating properties.
• Dosage: The amount consumed directly impacts increased appetite likelihood. Larger doses more strongly stimulate hunger.
• Frequency of use: Regular consumption may produce a tolerance over time. Appetite-stimulating effects may diminish with frequent use.
• Time of day: Using near mealtimes enhances appetite-stimulating properties. THC amplifies natural hunger signals.
• Method of consumption: Buzz Packs dissolve in hot and cold beverages. This method allows cannabinoids to enter the bloodstream through digestion.
• Emotional state: Mental health conditions and emotions significantly affect appetite regulation. Stress or anxiety interact differently with these cannabis products.
• Hydration: Proper hydration while using Buzz Packs helps regulate appetite and reduces overconsumption. Dehydration sometimes mimics hunger.

The key to getting the most out of your Buzz Packs experience is to consume them responsibly and listen to your body. 

Do Buzz Packs have side effects?

The precise, low-dose formulation of THC and CBD in our Buzz Packs minimizes the risk of side effects when used as directed. If you consume more than the recommended dosage, you may encounter some unwanted effects, which can include:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Increased appetite
• Mild anxiety
• Dizziness
• Slight coordination issues

Unlike alcohol with its dehydration and next-day regrets, our low-dose powder offers a gentle experience without harsh side effects. Just follow the directions and enjoy the benefits

How long does it take for Buzz Packs to work?

Buzz Packs kick in within 10–20 minutes after you drink them. THC drinks hit faster than regular edibles but slower than smoking. The water-soluble technology lets your body absorb the cannabinoids quickly through digestion.

Full effects usually develop within 30–60 minutes and last 4–6 hours, depending on your metabolism, body weight, and whether you've eaten.
