Start Low, Sip Slow: First-Timers Guide to Drinking Jeng

Cans of Jeng’s hemp-infused, alcohol-free cocktails stacked on top of each other, showcasing the variety.

Say hi to Jeng—your new favorite ritual in a glass.

Whether you're totally new to cannabis or just canna-curious, we're so glad you're here. Our hemp-infused, zero-proof cocktails are crafted to make your first experience smooth, mellow, and seriously enjoyable. Think complex flavors, elevated vibes, and none of the alcohol.

Here’s the golden rule for first-timers: take your time, savor the flavor, and let it ease in.

You’ll typically begin to feel the effects within 15–30 minutes—a gentle, calming wave that enhances whatever you’re already doing, whether cooking dinner, catching up with friends, or winding down solo. And remember: this isn’t about getting blitzed. It’s about tuning in—flavor, mood, presence. Jeng is your invitation to feel more connected, not less.

So go ahead, take that first sip. We’ve got you. Let’s make your first time a great one—buzz included, booze not required.

Why “Start Low, Sip Slow” Works

When it comes to THC, there’s no one-size-fits-all experience. Your body, metabolism, tolerance, and even your mood can all shape how cannabis feels. And in beverage form—like Jeng’s craveable, hemp-infused cocktails—THC can land a little differently than an edible or vape.

That’s why we always say: start low, sip slowly.

Each Jeng is thoughtfully microdosed to deliver a balanced, feel-good lift designed to enhance—not overwhelm—your day or night. It’s just enough of a buzz to feel elevated, without tipping into too much.

But here’s the thing: even a small amount of THC can have a noticeable effect, especially if you're new to it. That’s where pacing comes in.

We recommend sipping slowly and giving your body 30 to 60 minutes to feel the full effect before deciding if you want more. That little pause makes all the difference—it helps you stay in control, stay present, and enjoy the moment as it unfolds.

Mindful sipping = maximum enjoyment.

What to Expect from Your First Sip

So, what does that first Jeng feel like?

Think of it as a vibe enhancer, not a vibe changer. Within 15 to 30 minutes, you’ll likely notice a subtle shift, like the edges of your day softening. A little calmer. A little more clarity. A mood that feels open, social, and just... better.

You won’t feel “high” in the way some associate with cannabis. With microdosed THC, it’s all about presence, not impairment. No booze means no slurred words, no bad decisions, and no morning-after regrets.

Instead, you’ll stay clear-headed, functional, and relaxed—able to chat, cook, dance, or just chill on the couch. It’s a soft landing into elevated territory—no hard crashes, no hangovers. Whether you're flying solo or surrounded by friends, that first sip is your cue to ease into the moment, breathe a little deeper, and feel good—naturally.

Setting the Scene for Your First Jeng

Your first Jeng should feel like a treat, not a test. The vibe matters just as much as what’s in your glass.

Choose a setting that feels relaxed, safe, and entirely you. Think: a cozy living room, a backyard sunset, or a slow dinner with close friends. Skip the loud clubs or chaotic parties—Jeng is about intentional ease, not overstimulation.

Set the mood. Curate a playlist that makes you feel something—chill beats, nostalgic favorites, mellow acoustics. Light a candle. Slip into your softest clothes. Let the moment unfold.

If you're with friends, choose people who make you feel grounded and good. If you’re solo, turn it into a self-care ritual—just you, your drink, and a favorite cozy corner.

Snacks? Yes. Always. Try citrus popcorn, salty nuts, fresh fruit, or go full vibe with a cheese board. Eating beforehand helps your body process THC more smoothly, and a glass of water alongside your Jeng keeps things balanced.

This isn’t about partying hard. It’s about dialing in. Tuning into your senses. Feeling good on purpose.

From the soft fizz of the spritz to the bold botanicals on your tongue to that moment when conversation flows a little easier—everything’s just a little more when you’re in the right environment.

Final Sip: Ease In, Feel Good

If there’s one thing to remember on your journey into Jeng, it’s this: ease in, feel good. Start low. Sip slowly. Trust your body. Find your own rhythm and enjoy the ride.

Maybe you’ll feel a little lighter. Maybe you’ll laugh a little easier. Maybe your favorite song will sound like magic. That’s the Jeng effect—not overpowering, just elevating. And remember, this isn’t about intoxication. It’s about elevation. It’s about savoring the moment, whether you're deep in conversation or simply enjoying your own company. No fog. No hangover. No pressure to overdo it.

Your first sip is the start of something new—a fresh way to connect, unwind, and feel amazing, with clarity and calm. So go ahead. Pour it over ice. Take a breath. Sip slowly. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Welcome to the buzz—without the booze. Welcome to Jeng.
