Calexo makes cannabis-infused drinks with zero artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors, and 10 mg of THC per bottle. Each Calexo drink takes around 15 minutes to kick in and 1 hour to offset. They manage to do this by nano-emulsifying the THC used in each drink.

This nano-emulsification makes it so the THC can be rapidly absorbed by the body through the pores under to tongue and on the stomach lining.
