This is the early version of CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK, which was released in the United States in 2013.

It seems that it is no longer available in the U.S. market, but CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK remains the most famous brand in the cannabis energy drink category, expanding its distribution across Europe, North America, and even Africa.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.

Flavor of CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK

When opened, the sweet aroma of a classic flavor fills the air.
Flavor of CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK
When I take a sip, it has a sweet and sour flavor reminiscent of Red Bull—a clear, classic energy drink taste. There is no distinct flavor that would make you think of cannabis, just a typical energy drink flavor.

If you're expecting something related to cannabis as a novelty, you might be a bit disappointed.

CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK is not a cannabis-flavored energy drink; it’s simply an "energy drink with hemp seed extract," and it's a very standard energy drink.

It’s not a novelty energy drink or one with intense ingredients, so it’s best to manage your expectations accordingly.

Comparison of the U.S. and Canadian Versions

Let’s compare the CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK sold in the U.S. with the HEMP ENERGY DRINK released in Canada.

The can on the left is from Canada, and the one on the right is from the U.S. The color and aroma are almost identical.

When tasting them side by side, the base flavor is almost identical.

However, the Canadian version has a slight chemical-like taste, suggesting that they may have added a distinct Canadian flavor when it was released there.

CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK used to offer globally consistent products, but the Canadian version seems to have taken a slightly different path and is now treated as a separate product.

I’ve also reviewed the Canadian HEMP ENERGY DRINK in more detail, so feel free to check out the review here.

Energy Ingredients of CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK

Energy Ingredients of CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK
Contains 80mg of caffeine, taurine, and hemp seed extract (amount unspecified). Of course, it does not contain THC. Since the hemp seed extract does not have any special effects, it's best enjoyed as a concept drink.

Design of CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK

The CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK is characterized by a green can with a white logo. While it’s not an overly intricate design, the recognizable product name and design make a strong impact.

As the most famous cannabis-themed energy drink, this simple design is unforgettable once you’ve seen it. CANNABIS ENERGY DRINK has global recognition, with distribution spanning North America, Africa, and Asia. However, its availability is quite limited, and it’s not often seen on store shelves these days.
