Coming soon to a pot shop near you
Waking and baking is about to get a whole lot easier, thanks to cannabis coffee pods. Brought to you by California-based Brewbudz, they’ll soon be available for purchase at weed retailers in six states — and according to Westword, they’re compatible with the Keurig coffee makers millions of Americans already have in their kitchens.
Brewbudz pods are filled with a mixture of coffee and actual cannabis flower, rather than an extract or oil. The company says its pods use a “patented extraction process” that simultaneously extracts the flavor and caffeine from the coffee as well as the THC or CBD and other components from the cannabis.
The coffee pods come in regular or decaf, and there’s also hot cocoa and a few varieties of tea — black, green, and chamomile. The coffee and caffeinated tea are paired with sativa strains of weed, generally considered more energizing, while the nighttime tea pods include indica strains (better for relaxing or sleeping).
Per Westword, “There are 10 mg of THC in each pod for recreational users, and 25 to 50 mg of CBD for medical users.” (THC is the compound that gets you high, while CBD is known for numerous medical benefits including pain relief.)
And unlike K-cups, which have even been denounced by their own inventor for being a scourge on landfills, Brewbudz are 100 percent compostable; the pods resemble plastic but are actually made from recycled coffee beans.
Of course, they’re also a heck of a lot more expensive: While typical K-cups cost around 60 cents each, the cannabis versions are around $7 a piece. Still, that’s cheaper than a Starbucks latte and a joint.
