1. Extract the lemon juices and set aside in a pitcher.
2. Add sugar to one cup of water in a saucepan then let it boil. Continue to stir until it dissolves completely.

CBD, which, unlike THC, does not result in any high or psychoactive effects, can significantly improve the quality and nutritional value of your drink minus the high. Nonetheless, it is crucial to review your offers carefully and pick high-quality cannabis products.

Choosing reputable retailers and dispensaries can help you land the best quality products in your area. You should also examine the quality of other ingredients you use in your cannabis drink. Nevertheless, if you are considering cannabis drinks as a way to treat a specific medical condition, it is highly advisable to consult your physician for the right dosage and quality.
