The wellness crowd has a fresh obsession: weed juice. Cannabis you drink—green and geared toward balance rather than a buzz. This guide covers what it is, if it gets you high, how to make it, and where it fits.

You’ll also see quick call-outs to Sluggers Hit, a California brand blending tradition with innovation—from JUICED* 5-pack pre-rolls and blunts to glass-tip joints, Gram Slam vapes, live rosin concentrates, and 5-gram jars of flower—each batch verified with QR codes. Operated from a vertically integrated California facility, Sluggers oversees everything from cultivation to packaging for consistent, lab-tested quality.

What Is Raw Cannabis Juice?

Raw cannabis juice uses fresh, uncured leaves (and sometimes tender buds) processed like any green juice—cold-pressed or blended with produce. It differs from traditional cannabis, which uses heat to activate THC.

Dried/cured cannabis suits smoking, vaping, or infusing—methods that convert THCA into psychoactive THC. Raw juicing skips heat, preserving THCA and other delicate compounds. Fresh fan leaves and sugar leaves are ideal because they’re abundant and mild. Cold-pressing reduces heat and air exposure; blending is simple—just strain.

Does Cannabis Juice Get You High?

Short answer: no. Raw cannabis is rich in THCA, not THC. THC—the compound that produces euphoria—appears when THCA is heated (decarboxylation). No heat, no psychoactive ride.

What to expect instead? Light, leafy energy—more like celery-apple juice than a joint. Want fast effects? Sluggers offers pre-rolls, blunts, live rosin, and Gram Slam vapes.

Cannabis Juicing Benefits and Raw Cannabis Health Benefits

Raw cannabis brings a nutrient-dense profile:

• Cannabinoids: THCA, CBDA, and others in acidic form

• Terpenes & flavonoids: Aroma compounds with antioxidant activity

• Vitamins/minerals, amino acids, and chlorophyll: the plant-forward mix you expect from green juice

Potential wellness angles include anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidant support, and micronutrients that complement a balanced diet. Because there’s no heat, many delicate compounds avoid degradation. Anecdotally, fans report smoother mornings and a “clean-green” routine—without the head change.

Sluggers keeps transparency across its lineup with lab testing and QR verification, so you always know what’s in the jar, pen, or pack.

Steps

1. Prep: Choose healthy greens. Rinse; remove tough stems.

2. Flavor:

• Bright: pineapple + mint + lemon

• Earthy: cucumber + celery + green apple

• Spicy: ginger + lime + pear

3. Juice or blend: Alternate leaves with juicy produce, or blend with a splash of water and strain.

4. Serve: Over ice; add citrus. Drink immediately.

Starter Ratio

• 1 packed cup of cannabis leaves

• 1 cup cucumber/celery

• 1 cup pineapple/apple

• ½ lemon or lime

• Water/ice to taste

Sourcing Fresh Cannabis Leaves for Juicing

Where to look:

• Home grows (legal only): Trim days are prime.

• Dispensaries & farms: Some offer fresh leaves by request or community boards.

• Friends who grow: Trade smoothies for trim piles.

Checklist: bright color, clean aroma, no pests or mildew. Plan on 1–2 cups of leaves per serving. For short holds, wrap rinsed leaves in a towel, seal, and refrigerate up to 24–48 hours.

Ready-to-Enjoy Option:
No access to fresh leaves? Experience strains in cured form. Sluggers’ 5G Flower collection offers terpene-rich buds for people who prefer smoking over juicing.

No juicer? No problem. Browse Sluggers’ premium flowers and keep it simple.

Tips for Making the Best Cold-Pressed Cannabis Juice

• Balance greens with citrus, apple, or pineapple; a thumb of ginger wakes it up.

• Start with a 1:2 ratio—one part cannabis leaves to two parts hydrating produce—then sweeten to taste.

• Cold-press for silky texture; blenders win for speed.

• Drink within 15–30 minutes; if needed, refrigerate up to 24 hours.

If kitchen duty isn’t your vibe, Sluggers has glass-tip joints, potent blunts, and the disposable Gram Slam vape line—each batch crafted for a consistent, dialed-in experience.

Potential Considerations and Drawbacks

• Bold flavor: Green and grassy—citrus helps.

• Availability: Fresh leaves can be hard to find.

• Shelf life: Very short; fresh is best.

• Cost: Quality material can add up.

• No psychoactive effects: Great for wellness; not for those seeking a high.

FAQs about Weed Juice

 

Does raw cannabis juice get you high?

No. Raw cannabis contains THCA, which hasn’t been heated into THC—so no high.

How much fresh cannabis do I need to make juice?

Start with 1–2 packed cups of leaves per serving, then adjust to taste.

Can I use dried cannabis or buds from a dispensary to make juice?

Dried/cured cannabis is better for smoking, pre-rolls, or infusions. For juicing, use fresh leaves or fresh young buds.

What does cannabis juice taste like?

Earthy and green, similar to wheatgrass. Brighten with lemon, apple, pineapple, or ginger.

How long does homemade cannabis juice stay fresh?

Best within 15–30 minutes. Refrigerated and sealed, it can last up to 24 hours, but flavor and aroma fade fast.
