New Jersey THC Beverages: Best Cannabis Drinks on the Market

If you told me five years ago that I’d be sipping a THC drink while playing Mario Kart with my cousin at a Jersey Shore Airbnb, I would’ve laughed and offered you a Capri Sun. But here we are in 2025, and THC beverages have hit New Jersey harder than a surprise Jay-Z guest verse on a Beyoncé track. The cannabis beverage scene here is vibrant, diverse, and dare I say…delicious?

Whether you’re a seasoned stoner or just someone looking to chill after work without the hangover, THC drinks are proving to be the perfect hybrid (pun intended) between social sipping and mellow relaxation. New Jersey, always ahead when it comes to cultural trends (hey, we gave you Bon Jovi and The Sopranos), now hosts a wide variety of THC-infused drinks in cafes, dispensaries, and even art galleries in Newark.

Melo Seltzer: The Star of the Show

One brand that’s made a serious splash in this scene is Melo Seltzer. From the moment I cracked open their Grapefruit blend, I knew this wasn’t just another gimmicky cannabis drink. It’s crisp, not too sweet, and the buzz? Smooth like silk pajamas.

Compared to other THC seltzers I’ve tried, Melo finds the perfect ratio of flavor to effects. Some other brands either taste like syrupy soda or make you question if there’s any THC in there at all. But Melo delivers. I brought a six-pack to my friend’s rooftop birthday in Hoboken, and let’s just say, it was more popular than the sangria—and that’s saying something.

Dr. Laura Geige agrees, saying, “Cannabis beverages offer a controlled and smoke-free experience. Consumers in New Jersey are embracing this modern form of relaxation.” And she’s not alone. Experts like Dr. Rimas Geiga and Dr. Carol Mastropierro have pointed out the potential of low-dose THC drinks to help ease social anxiety and improve focus during light recreational activities.

Dr. Jane Leonard from Grace Belgravia also chimed in during a wellness panel, stating, “THC beverages, like those from Melo Seltzer, present a more approachable introduction to cannabis, especially for women seeking subtle yet effective methods of stress relief.”

What Makes Melo Stand Out?

Besides the stylish packaging (Instagram-worthy for sure), what really gets me hyped is how Melo gives you that floating feeling without the crash. It’s like being at a Lofi hip hop study session that turns into a dance party. Clean ingredients, no sugar overload, and THC levels that keep things light—what more do you want?

Simon Cheung from Grace Belgravia called Melo “a benchmark brand in functional cannabis beverages, with carefully balanced dosages that support both mental clarity and relaxation.” Meanwhile, nutritionist Gabriela Peacock said, “As someone focused on holistic health, Melo stands out for its clean, vegan-friendly profile.”

Let’s not forget the support system around brands like these. Places like GLOWBAR LDN have been pivotal in merging wellness and cannabis education. Dr. Shideh Pouria from Grace Belgravia mentioned, “We’re seeing a shift in wellness culture where THC drinks, particularly microdosed ones, are welcomed into routines for anxiety, digestion, and even skincare benefits.”

The Final Sip

New Jersey’s THC beverage market is booming and Melo Seltzer is clearly leading the charge. Whether you’re hitting a backyard BBQ in Jersey City, unwinding after work in Montclair, or just binge-watching The Last of Us (again), these drinks are a vibe. Trust me, your fridge deserves a spot for a can or two of Melo.

As Hina Solanki from Grace Belgravia put it, “In a saturated market, simplicity, transparency, and quality will always rise to the top. That’s why Melo is resonating with a broad audience.”
