A new tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) beverage enhancer is available to medical and recreational cannabis consumers across the US. Beverage enhancers that do not contain THC, but instead contain flavored concentrates and/or other additives such as caffeine, are used by squirting the contents of a bottle into water, or other beverage of choice, ad libitum and can be used in a titratable manner according to the user's preference or taste. The THC beverage enhancer described herein has an important safety feature: a mechanism that allows users to measure out a 5-mg dose of THC before they add it to their beverage. This mechanism, however, can be easily bypassed if a user attempts to use the product exactly the same way that its non-THC counterparts are used, by turning the bottle upside down and squirting the contents of the bottle into a beverage ad libitum. The THC beverage enhancer described herein would benefit from additional safety features such as a mechanism that prevents the contents of the bottle from leaving the device when turned upside down and a THC warning label.
一种新型四氢大麻酚（THC）饮料增强剂现已面向美国各地的医用大麻和娱乐用大麻消费者推出。不含THC、而是含有调味浓缩液和/或其他添加剂（如咖啡因）的饮料增强剂，使用时是将瓶内的内容物随意挤入水中或其他选择的饮料中，并且可以根据用户的喜好或口味以可滴定的方式使用。本文所述的THC饮料增强剂具有一项重要的安全特性：一种能让使用者在将其添加到饮料之前量出5毫克THC剂量的机制。然而，如果使用者试图以与不含THC的同类产品相同的方式使用该产品，即把瓶子倒过来并将瓶内的内容物随意挤入饮料中，那么这种机制很容易被绕过。本文所述的THC饮料增强剂将受益于其他安全特性，例如一种防止瓶子倒过来时瓶内的内容物流出装置的机制以及一个THC警示标签。
