Disclosure
It’s the first legal psychedelic, mood-boosting, hangover-free beverage, otherwise known as Psychedelic Water. It’s not a hallucinogenic and won’t make you trip like LSD or psilocybin (also known as “Magic Mushrooms”). So why is it going viral on TikTok, and will our anxiety really just melt away after the first sip?
What Is Psychedelic Water?
A psychoactive, lightly carbonated drink that acts as a calming mood-enhancer to make you feel good without messing you up, slowing you down, or leaving you hungover. It’s better than seltzer – with healthy benefits.
What’s in it?
The herbal supplement is a blend of kava root, damiana leaf, and green tea leaf extract. You may or may not feel a gentle tongue tingle. It’s vegan, non-alcoholic, CBD/THC free and 25 calories.
KAVA ROOT EXTRACT
As Fiji’s national drink, South Pacific islanders have been drinking kava root for generations. Known as a natural source of relaxation, people have used this herb to melt away stress, leaving you with only warm, happy feelings.
DAMIANA LEAF EXTRACT
This wild shrub has a bit of a raunchy history. It was originally used as an aphrodisiac and thought to increase sexual arousal. Nowadays, it’s mostly used for stress and discomfort.
GREEN TEA LEAF EXTRACT
This antioxidant-rich, fat-burning power leaf is universally recognised for its health benefits. Green tea also has caffeine, which is used to help balance the effects of kava – and after all, life is all about balance.
How will Psychedelic Water make me feel?
The herbs used offer a mild, calming sensation that simply make you feel good without any mental inhibition. Don’t expect anything intense or the effects of traditional psychedelics. Psychedelic Water is not a hallucinogenic and won’t make you trip like LSD or psilocybin (also known as “Magic Mushrooms”).The first few sips, most people will feel a tingling sensation on the tongue – that’s apparently the kava. Anywhere from 5-15 minutes later, you’ll slowly feel the subtle effects of the blend kicking-in. Stress will melt away and you’ll start to feel happy inside – supposedly.
Well, whatever they’re doing, it’s working. Psychedelic Water sold out their first production run and are rapidly expanding into retail stores nationwide. They made $1 million in sales over its first few months and are projecting more than $5 million in sales for the year.
