High Rise CBD Seltzer
Located in the James Island Charleston Hemp Collective, High Rise is South Carolina’s first legal cannabis seltzer bar. The space is decked out with Tropicalia decor and comfy lounge areas.

These fizzy beverages offer a novel way to consume THC, with a more discreet, controlled experience and shorter, manageable effects. They also comply with federal and state laws regarding THC concentration.
Low Calorie
With zero calories and sugar, a can of High Rise Delta-9 Seltzer is an ideal beverage for those looking to stay hydrated while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Featuring zesty grapefruit flavor, it is like a sunny day in a can, uplifting your mood and bringing positive vibes to any situation.
Unlike alcoholic drinks, THC-infused seltzers have low calories and no hangover. Moreover, they are a great way to test out the effects of different dosage strengths without getting too blazed. The THC in these beverages converts into 11-Hydroxy THC in the liver and provides a more precise dose than smoking or eating edibles.
In addition to providing a relaxing CBD buzz, these drinks can also help with sleep and anxiety. They are made with natural adaptogens such as American ginseng and L-theanine to promote calming or motivating effects depending on the user’s preferences.
Founded by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, Chicago-based startup Five CBD offers refreshing flavors such as Unicorn Tears, Guava Passionfruit, and Yuzu Citrus, with each can containing 20 mg of broad-spectrum hemp extract. Their hydrating and relaxing seltzers are available in a variety of six-packs, including individualized flavors such as Blood Orange and Hibiscus Berry, or a mix pack of all flavors. They are THC and gluten free, with no artificial sweeteners or sugars. They can be consumed on the go or at home. The company also offers a THC-free version of their seltzer called Unspiked.
Low Sugar
When compared to other beverages like kombucha and infused waters, CBD seltzers are often lower in calories and sugar. They also offer a unique wellness experience by combining therapeutic benefits with an uplifting fizz of sparkling water. This makes them a great choice for people looking to reduce anxiety or stress levels.
The ingredients in these drinks are crafted with premium-quality US-grown hemp and natural blends of real fresh fruit, North Carolina mountain spring water, and a pinch of organic cane sugar. They are infused with Delta-8 and CBG for a lucid buzz without the paranoia associated with synthetic THC.
THC seltzers generally take 30-60 minutes to reach their peak effects. During this time, the body begins to feel relaxed and euphoric. This effect typically lasts for one to two hours. The duration of the peak effects will depend on the amount of THC in the drink and the user’s metabolism.
THC and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system to provide beneficial effects such as reduced stress, relaxation, and pain relief. THC is known for its ability to stimulate appetite and enhance mood, while CBD helps to calm the mind and promote sleep. The combined effects of THC and CBD are powerful and uplifting. When taken in high doses, THC seltzers can induce a full-body buzz that’s both energizing and soothing. They also tend to have a longer lasting effect than THC-only drinks.
No Artificial Sweeteners
THC seltzers offer a refreshing way to experience the effects of cannabis. They contain a precise amount of THC, which is dissolved into the beverage through an advanced process known as nanoemulsion. This allows the THC to be easily absorbed into your system, creating a smooth and consistent experience.
THC infused seltzers are a healthy alternative to smoking and traditional edibles, as they eliminate the inhalation of smoke and the associated respiratory risks. In addition, they allow for a controlled dosage, which is important for people with certain health conditions or who are new to cannabis. The use of third-party tested products is essential for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of THC seltzers.
The effects of thc seltzer typically occur within 15-30 minutes, and last for 2 to 4 hours. They can be enjoyed socially, like a beer or cocktail, but without the high calorie count and sugar of other drinks. THC seltzers are also great for kicking back and relaxing at home.
THC seltzers can provide a variety of benefits, including heightened emotional wellness and physical relaxation. They can help elevate moods, relieve stress, and boost self-esteem. THC infused seltzers can also be used to ease discomfort, such as pain or nausea. However, it is important to consume THC infused seltzers responsibly, and to be aware of the legal status of cannabis in your area and its potential impact on mental and physical health.
No Artificial Flavors
While many CBD beverages on the market contain artificial flavors, it is important to find ones that do not. This will help you avoid high levels of sugar and calories that may cause unwanted side effects. Instead, look for drinks made from organic ingredients and natural fruit juices. These will give you a healthier drink that is good for your body and your taste buds.
The cofounders of Charleston Hemp Collective found a niche for their hemp-derived products when they realized how many locals were interested in non-alcoholic options. In addition to cannabis dry bar, the company has also partnered with Herd Provisions on James Island to offer a rotating selection of High Rise-infused mocktails.
These drinks contain delta-9 THC, which is known to provide calming and uplifting effects. They are available in a variety of flavors, and the infused seltzer water is low in calories and sugar. It also contains a blend of natural adaptogens to promote relaxation and calmness.
The founders of the company discovered the benefits of CBD years ago when Libiss Skinner, who suffers from ulcerative colitis, began using it to ease her symptoms. She and her husband, Matt, founded Charleston Hemp Collective to bring CBD products to the community in a way that was educational rather than fast-selling. They use a terpene-rich, organically grown hemp that is locally sourced to create their products.
No Preservatives
When cofounder Libiss Skinner suffered from the inflammation of ulcerative colitis, she turned to CBD for relief. Her experience led her and husband Matt to create Charleston Hemp Collective and its line of topical products, gummies and tinctures. Then, when cannabis became legal in the state in 2019, they launched High Rise. It’s one of the fastest-growing regional brands associated with hemp-derived CBD, a cannabinoid that may help reduce pain, boost mood and relax muscles.
High Rise’s seltzer can be served straight from the can or mixed into a mocktail recipe for all the buzz of a cocktail without the hangover. The company’s latest addition is Blackout Edition, which blends Delta-9 THC with CBD for a balanced experience that energizes the mind and soothes the soul.
The new seltzers are a great option for anyone who wants to kick back and enjoy time with friends or unwind after a workout. They are made with real Blueberries, organic hemp extract and spring water from the mountains of North Carolina. The beverages are gluten-free, vegan and contain no preservatives.
The company has a mission to support the community by bringing hemp-derived CBD products to people in need. It’s also working with local organizations to raise awareness about the health benefits of CBD and contribute to positive changes in hemp laws. They plan to open a new CBD store in Charleston later this year, and are already expanding their distribution network throughout the Southeast.
No Alcohol
When Matt and Libiss Skinner first started Charleston Hemp Collective in 2019, they envisioned a brand that focused on educating the public about CBD, or cannabidiol, which had helped alleviate the symptoms of Libiss’ ulcerative colitis. They now offer a full line of products, from gummies and tinctures to CBD honey, as well as High Rise, a low-calorie, low-sugar seltzer infused with Delta-9 THC (the nonpsychoactive component of marijuana).
The brand’s high-quality ingredients are locally sourced, including premium-quality US grown hemp, natural blends of real fresh fruit, North Carolina mountain spring water and a touch of pure cane sugar. The drinks are a refreshing alternative to alcoholic beverages, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages and lifestyles. They may help enhance pleasure and motivation, regulate sleep and reduce inflammation.
High Rise is already available in 200 bars and restaurants, from Halls Chophouse to Husk, and 350 shops and grocery stores across the Southeast. The Skinners have also noticed a shift in the beverage industry, particularly among younger generations, who are opting for more alcohol-free options.
At the back of their James Island shop, decked out with Tropicalia decor and a comfy lounge area, the couple has opened South Carolina’s first cannabis dry bar, serving mocktails made from High Rise. Drinks have names like Connection, Tranquility and Invigorate, and the menu includes suggestions for a variety of additional ingredients that can be added to boost the mood or promote relaxation.
