What is Hiatus?
Hiatus is a hemp-derived Delta-9 THC beverage brand focused on delivering functional, wellness-forward experiences through safe, compliant, and great-tasting drinks. Our formulas combine microdoses of Delta-9 THC with natural ingredients to create a smooth, elevated effect—without alcohol, without added sugar, and without the baggage.
We believe in giving your mind and body a break the right way—with products that feel good and do good.
What is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC (short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It’s responsible for the traditional “high” associated with marijuana—but when derived from hemp and used in low doses, it can offer gentle mood elevation, relaxation, and focus without overwhelming effects.
All Hiatus products contain hemp-derived Delta-9 that complies with the federal 0.3% THC limit by dry weight. It’s legal, lab-tested, and consistent.
Is Hiatus legal?
Yes. Hiatus products are federally legal in the United States under the 2018 Farm Bill. We use hemp-derived Delta-9 THC that stays within the 0.3% limit required by law.
That said, hemp laws vary by state. We only ship to U.S. states where hemp-derived THC products are clearly permitted, and we continually monitor legislation to keep our shipping list up to date. We also enforce age verification to ensure only adults can purchase.
See our “Is Delta-9 Legal?” page for more detail.
Will Hiatus get me high?
Hiatus is designed for a light, functional experience. Our low-dose formula is intended to take the edge off—not to knock you out. Most users report feelings of calm, elevated mood, mild euphoria, and clarity without brain fog or heavy sedation.
That said, everyone reacts differently to cannabinoids. Your experience may vary depending on body weight, tolerance, and whether you’ve eaten. Start slow, especially if you’re new to THC. Many users find their perfect dose at just 5–10mg.
How long does it take to feel the effects?
Most users feel the onset within 15 to 45 minutes, with peak effects typically arriving around the 1-hour mark and lasting 2–4 hours. Our water-soluble formula allows for faster absorption compared to traditional edibles or oils.
For best results, consume Hiatus on a light stomach, stay hydrated, and avoid combining with alcohol or medications unless cleared by your doctor.
Can I drive after drinking Hiatus?
No. Even small amounts of Delta-9 THC can impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely. You should never drive or operate heavy machinery after consuming THC.
Wait several hours, allow effects to fully wear off, and err on the side of caution. Safety first.
Is there CBD in Hiatus?
Yes. Most Hiatus formulas include a balanced blend of Delta-9 THC and hemp-derived CBD for a smoother experience. CBD helps to round out the psychoactive effects of THC, reducing the likelihood of anxiety or overstimulation.
Our products may also include other functional ingredients such as adaptogens, natural flavors, and electrolytes, depending on the formulation.
Are Hiatus products lab-tested?
Absolutely. Every batch of Hiatus is tested by third-party, DEA-certified labs to ensure accurate potency, no harmful contaminants, and full compliance with hemp regulations. We include a QR code on every can that links directly to the lab results.
We believe you have the right to know exactly what you're consuming—every time.
How should I store Hiatus?
Hiatus should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required, but chilling before drinking improves taste and experience.
Keep out of reach of children or anyone under 21.
Can I fly with Hiatus?
Federal law may permit flying with hemp-derived products, but TSA and state-level enforcement can vary. We recommend not traveling with Hiatus, especially through states with strict cannabis laws or international destinations.
For best results, enjoy Hiatus at home or once you’ve reached your destination.
Who shouldn’t use Hiatus?
Hiatus is for responsible adults age 21 and up. Do not use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications that interact with cannabinoids. Always consult your physician before trying THC products, especially if you have underlying medical conditions.
If you’re new to THC or sensitive to psychoactive compounds, we strongly recommend starting with a half serving.
I’m new to THC—what’s the best way to start?
Welcome! We’re here for you. If you’re just beginning your cannabis journey, start with one-third to one-half of a Hiatus beverage and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more. This gives your body time to adjust and ensures you won’t overdo it.
Take your time. Find your flow. That’s the spirit of Hiatus.
