It has a use. Tasty fizzy drink with basically no calories, and caffeine fucks with my cannabis high. I get Canadian store brand tho.
I'm kinda pissed the Coca Cola recipe that was recently reverse engineered was the sugar version instead of zero.
Smoking a joint while drinking coffee this very moment 😅
Lucky! The combination gives me anxiety attacks these days. I can have one or the other but not both idk why.
That's a bummer. Though I an curious, flower or concentrates?
For the past 2 years I've been using concentrates via 510 carts in Canada, unscented/no flavour additives. Before that I used a dry vape with cheaper pre-ground flower, but short battery life and maintenance got annoying plus dosage control is worse. Smoked before legalisation.
I love the no fuss delivery of concentrates, but found they randomly would cause me to have anxiety or paranoia. Went back to joints and haven't had an issue since.
It's the same experience no matter how I consume it personally but we're all different. I'm just an anxious person in general.
I envy you it reminds me of my childhood. I'm currently enjoying a cider taking a break in from the heat doing yardwork.
Must've been an interesting childhood...
Sorry I should have quantified that younger than 30 to me was my childhood lol. I didn't clean up until I had kids.
Think it's ironic you find cider over a joint cleaning up. To each their own.
One cider does not a drunk make but one joint will get me stoned. 3 drinks a week at this point compared to a joint or 3 a day. Was a pretty big shift.
I'm guessing zero is a lot harder, but maybe that guy who did it needs a new objective
LabCoatz for those interested but he never said anything about zero sugar that I can recall so when it comes to difficulty I have no idea since I'm not a chemist.
what turned out to be the secret ingredient in the end?
For the mystery "natural flavours," mass spectrometry was used. He got the essential oils and their quantities down: lemon oil, lime oil, tea tree oil, cinnamon oil, nutmeg oil, orange oil, coriander oil, and a natural pine–like flavour called fenchol.
Was still missing coca. Then he realised they were basically tea leaves and the mystery flavour was actually tannins, which are non-volatile, so using mass spectrometry tannins won't show up. He found wine tannins are commercially sold in a water–soluble powder form, and this was the key pretty much.
This mix then had to be heated to blend/mature the essential oils, and then left to sit for 24 hours before being used in the final recipe to exact match the flavour profile.
thats amazing!
Quantity of sugar is on the label, chemical replacements are not
