When the sun is blazing and the temperature’s high, nothing hits the spot like an ice-cold strawberry lemonade. This summer, I got my hands on the Journeyman Strawberry Lemonade 100mg THC Shot, a 2oz cannabis-infused drink that’s made right here in Illinois. I decided to put it to the test on a hot August day at Six Flags Great America and share my full review.
Why Cannabis Beverages Are Exploding in Illinois
Cannabis drinks are one of the fastest-growing product categories in the Illinois market. From sparkling seltzers to THC shots, more infused beverages are landing on dispensary menus every month. One of the key players in this space is Contract Canna, a company that works with premium beverage brands and ensures their products are produced by true masters of the craft.
While many THC drinks in Illinois come in 8oz bottles with 100mg THC, those aren’t always ideal for someone who doesn’t want to drink a lot of liquid. That’s why smaller 2oz shots like the Journeyman Strawberry Lemonade are a great alternative, potent, portable, and easy to consume.
Tasting the Journeyman Strawberry Lemonade THC Shot
I kept my shot in the fridge overnight so it was perfectly chilled, then packed it into a cooler for my Six Flags trip. The weather was perfect, 85°, sunny, and a full day of roller coasters ahead.
The flavor? Spot-on. Journeyman nailed the balance of sweet and tart without any of the bitter cannabis aftertaste that can show up in other THC drinks. There was no oily mouthfeel, and it went down smooth in just two gulps.
On top of the great flavor, Journeyman’s Strawberry Lemonade THC Shot is vegan, gluten-free, and made with all-natural ingredients, making it a clean, inclusive option for almost any cannabis consumer. It’s refreshing to see an infused drink that not only delivers on taste and effects but also keeps ingredient quality and dietary needs in mind.
How the High Felt
Within the hour, I felt a smooth, uplifting high that made me more giggly and energized, exactly what you want for a theme park day. The effects were balanced and consistent, with no heavy crash at the end. This was a perfect daytime cannabis drink that kept me active and happy.
Why Contract Canna Makes a Difference
Journeyman recently switched production to Contract Canna, and it’s clear the quality is there. In my opinion, any cannabis drink brand in Illinois should consider working with them if they want a clean, consistent, and flavorful product.
Final Verdict – Is the Journeyman Strawberry Lemonade Shot Worth It?
Absolutely. If you’re looking for a fast-acting, flavorful, and easy-to-consume THC drink in Illinois, this 2oz shot is a must-try — especially for summer activities like concerts, festivals, or amusement parks.
