Order ahead and pick up your drinks in Derby or Hartford
The product list on this page shows live items from the menu of the store you have selected, with a switch to the other store. Pick Derby or Hartford, and if the can you want is not listed, try the other one. Online ordering is open 24/7, and both stores are open 7 days a week.
Both stores take cash and debit cards only, and the Derby store has an on-site ATM. Prices and stock change through the day, so we keep them off this page, and current offers sit on our deals page.
If you are choosing between a drink and something you eat, the edibles aisle is the other place to look, and our side-by-side of THC drinks and edibles explains how the two formats differ. If you would rather talk it through with a person, call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837). More answers about visiting and ordering are on the Hi! People FAQ.
What to check on the can before a fall get-together
Bringing sealed cans to a fall dinner with friends who are all 21 or older? Check the can's label for THC per can and per serving before you buy, and plan on one serving at a time. Our guide to reading a cannabis label walks through each line.
Settle the ride home before anyone opens a can. If the night calls for something other than a drink, every other aisle is on the Hi! People shop page.
What Connecticut law says about THC beverages and who may sell them
Since July 1, 2024, only licensed cannabis retailers and package stores with a waiver may sell THC-infused beverages in the state. The Department of Consumer Protection explains the change in its article on who can sell THC-infused beverages, which is the source to read if you see cans on a shelf somewhere else.
The amount of THC in a can is capped too. From October 1, 2026, the infused beverages a retailer sells may contain up to ten milligrams of THC per container, as the department's 2026 legislative updates notice sets out. Separately, chapter 420h of the state statutes directs that a standardized serving of an edible cannabis product or beverage contain not more than five milligrams of THC.
Connecticut's adult-use market is limited to adults 21 and older. Our longer guide to THC drink laws goes deeper on beverages, the page on how much cannabis you may legally carry covers possession, and the roundup of this year's cannabis law changes covers the rest of the 2026 updates.
Drink Hi!, our own hemp-infused seltzer
Drink Hi! is our own hemp-infused seltzer, and Hi! People was started by Connecticut locals. The flavors are listed on the Drink Hi! page, along with more on the seltzer line itself.
Timing and serving size when you drink your THC
NIDA's cannabis research summary lists drinks among the foods cannabis can be mixed or added to and groups them with edibles. That is how we suggest treating a can: have one serving, then wait before you open another.
For edibles, one study of five products at 10 mg of THC each found blood THC peaked anywhere from 35 to 90 minutes after dosing. All five were edibles, so read that range as a loose guide, not a timer. Our article on how long edibles take to kick in goes through the timing in more detail.
