Drinks industry veteran Darnell Smith started making himself THC tinctures about 10 years ago, mostly out of necessity. Working in spirits innovation and commercialization with beverage giants like Pernod Ricard and Diageo meant his days often started with trying new liquid concoctions for trademarks and ended in happy hours with colleagues, followed by meetups with liquor distributors or dropping in on bar accounts.
Looking to drink less without losing out on the communal experience of getting cocktails, he started heating cannabis flower at home to activate the THC (a process known as de-carbing), then he’d soak and drain the THC-infused liquid; “then I’m that guy at the bar with my little dropper,” Smith says. “I’d order a tonic and lime, put three drops in there, and I’m sessioning alongside everyone else.”
