THC Pouches: Taking A Closer Look

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) pouches are gaining popularity as a discreet, smokeless alternative to traditional cannabis consumption methods. With brands like Chillows by Potluck in Canada and Cannadips’ CBD line leading the way, more consumers are turning to these pocket-sized products for on-the-go effects that don’t require rolling, vaping, or eating edibles.

If you’re curious about how THC-infused pouches work, whether they get you high, or what’s up with the Cannadips lawsuit, this guide has all the details.

THC pouches are small, pre-filled packets containing cannabis extract, usually mixed with flavoring and other plant materials. Like nicotine pouches, they’re meant to be placed between your gum and lip or cheek, allowing THC to absorb through your mucosal membranes.

THC pouches are smokeless, mess-free, and nicotine-free, and they come in various doses and flavors. Some may contain additional cannabinoids like CBD, but the star of the show here is THC, the compound responsible for that euphoric cannabis high.

THC-infused pouches work, but they may feel slightly different from edibles or flower. Since they’re absorbed through the mouth lining (sublingually), the effects typically kick in faster, often within 15 to 30 minutes.

Benefits may include:

• Faster onset than edibles
• Discreet usage
• No smoke or smell
• Easy, precise dosing

Effects vary depending on the brand, dose, and user tolerance, but most users report a mellow, body-centered high that’s great for relaxing, socializing, or low-key activities.

Cannadips is one of the most recognizable names in the cannabis pouch space. Known for their bold flavors and convenient packaging, Cannadips currently only offers Delta-8 THC, CBN, CBG, THCP, and CBD pouches. Their CBD, CBN, and CBG lines of pouches are available nationally and are reported to contain no THC.

Cannadips CBD pouches typically contain between 15mg of CBD per pouch, making them an excellent option for those looking for discreet, smokeless relief. Flavors like Tangy Citrus and Tropical Mango can make the experience even more enjoyable.

In 2019, Cannadips and its parent company, Trinidad Consulting LLC, led by CEO Case Mandel, were involved in a legal dispute with investment partner Solace Holdings LLC. Solace claimed that Cannadips had defaulted on loans, inflated revenue projections, and misused funds, allegedly to support Mandel’s personal lifestyle.

Cannadips denied the allegations and filed a counterclaim, arguing that Solace had failed to pay contractually owed royalties and never delivered promised financial reports.

The Cannadips lawsuit was eventually dismissed in court, and the parties reached a confidential settlement in 2022. Despite the legal turbulence, Cannadips has continued to grow in popularity and remains a key player in the THC pouch market.

Do THC pouches get you high like edibles do?

Yes, THC pouches can get you high, though the experience is typically more subtle and faster-acting than traditional edibles. Depending on your dose and tolerance, you might feel relaxed, euphoric, or giggly.

Are Cannadips THC pouches legal everywhere?

Cannadips’ line of THC pouches is no longer available in U.S. regions with recreational cannabis. Chillows by Potluck is a newer brand of THC pouches that launched in Canada last year. Chillows are available at Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta dispensaries.

What is the average THC dose in a pouch?

Most THC pouches contain between 5mg and 10mg of THC. We always recommend you check the label and start with a low dose if you’re new to cannabis.

How long do THC pouches take to kick in?

THC pouches typically start working within 15 to 30 minutes, faster than edibles but slower than inhalation methods like smoking or vaping.

How many THC pouches can you use in a day?

That depends on your experience and tolerance. Many users start with one pouch and wait an hour to gauge effects before taking more. Always follow dosing instructions and know your limits.
