Buzz Drops is a CBD and THC-infused tincture sold by a company called nama CBD. The brand claims that this product provides a "wine like buzz" and "no hangover."
But what's actually in Buzz Drops? Does it contain enough THC to cause a psychoactive effect? Does it contain any unhealthy ingredients? And is Buzz Drops better or worse than popular THC-infused products like Nowadays?
In this article we'll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in Buzz Drops to give our take on whether or not they're likely to cause a "wine like buzz," and whether or not they're healthy.
We'll also compare the brand to other popular THC-infused products to pick our winners (and losers).
Key takeaways:
- Effective dose
- No unhealthy additive ingredients
- We currently recommend Buzz Drops
Ingredient Analysis
The ingredients in Buzz Drops are shown below:

Emulsified hemp extract is the only active ingredient, and this is what provides the CBD and THC.
The THC and CBD dose is 2.5 milligrams (mg) per serving.
This is an effective dose for causing a mild psychoactive effect, as it was described in a 2022 meta-study as the threshold for causing effects in the average adult.
Therefore, we agree with Buzz Drops' marketing claim that their product can have a "wine like buzz" (although the effects will be highly subjective).
Oral CBD can cause a sensation of relaxation, as we documented in our Feals Gummies review article.
There are no unhealthy ingredients in this formulation, so we currently recommend Buzz Drops as a healthy option in the THC-infused supplement category.
Third-Party Testing
One good sign about the quality of nama CBD is that the brand publishes extensive third-party testing for this product.
As you can see in the image below, sourced from the company's CoA resource page, the most recent batch of Buzz Drops has the amount of THC and CBD advertised by the company:

The brand also publishes extensive toxicology testing proving the product is safe and free of toxins.
Buzz Drops vs. Popular THC Products
Here's how Buzz Drops compares to other popular THC-infused consumable products, in terms of formulation quality, in our opinion:
Space Gods Gummies
This brand sells THC and CBD-infused supplements, like nama CBD.
Space Gods Gummies contain inactive ingredients we consider unhealthy, like Red 40 which is clinically shown to be contaminated with carcinogens in some cases.
Buzz Drops is the healthier choice.
Winner: Buzz Drops
Nowadays Drink
Nowadays Drink is a THC-infused drink that contains many inactive ingredients we consider unhealthy.
As we documented in the above-linked review, this drink contains refined sugar, natural flavors, citric acid, synthetic preservatives and undefined "emulsifier."
Buzz Drops is the healthier option.
Winner: Buzz Drops
Tre House
This brand sells THC-infused chocolate, and failed to clearly publish active ingredient doses at the time of our most recent analysis.
Buzz Drops is the safer choice.
Winner: Buzz Drops
Our Clean Mood Support Pick
Cornbread CBD Lotion is our topical stress-relief pick.
CBD is clinically shown to be absorbed through the skin, and was shown in a 2020 medical review to be a "promising" natural treatment for anxiety disorders.
Buzz Drops Pros and Cons
