The News
Lifted State, based in Corvallis, Ore., announced the launch of its first line of hemp-derived THC spritzers on April 20, 2026. The two styles, Mango Lemon and Marionberry, each contain 10mg THC and 5mg CBD. The products are made with real fruit purées, hemp-derived delta-9 THC, and CBD, and have been independently tested by an accredited laboratory.
What’s on the menu this week?
Lifted State, a Portland‑area cannabis producer, has just launched two hemp‑derived THC spritzers—Mango Lemon and Marionberry—in Oregon. The cans contain real fruit purées (Alphonso mango and California lemon for Mango Lemon; Pacific Northwest marionberries for the other) and carry a 2:1 THC‑to‑CBD ratio.
The federal Farm Bill allows products with less than 0.3 % THC by dry weight to be sold nationwide, but state laws—such as those in Oregon—currently restrict these beverages to local retailers. While Lifted State’s cans could theoretically reach any U.S. market, the OLCC limits their sale to Oregon retail outlets.
Each serving delivers 10 mg THC and 5 mg CBD—a dose that is double the typical low‑dose seltzer range of 2–5 mg yet well below the 25–100 mg of dispensary‑grade beverages sold in Oregon’s cannabis shops. The mid‑range potency positions Lifted State as a social‑use option that can compete with both light THC drinks and higher‑potency cannabis products.
The fruit‑forward flavor profile aligns with a broader trend toward mixable, hemp‑derived spirits; unflavored or subtly flavored options are gaining traction in “Cali sober” and mocktail circles. Industry reports suggest many new releases target audiences seeking clean, functional drinks—an angle that could appeal to craft‑bar goers looking for low‑calorie alternatives.
For operators, the key takeaways are: (1) Lifted State’s 10 mg THC per serving places it squarely in the mid‑range of hemp‑derived products; (2) its availability is currently limited to Oregon retail locations, so distributors outside that state should monitor any regulatory or licensing changes before adding the SKU to their portfolio; and (3) for Oregon bars, stocking these spritzers could offer a differentiated mocktail option that satisfies guests who want a buzz without alcohol.
