I opened my mailbox and found a small white bubble mailer. A Grinch-like smile crept up on my face as I rushed home to enact my plan. A little over a week ago a little birdie flew into my inbox and told me about this drink mix. My initial thought was, I MUST MAKE SHOTS! I’ve been waiting for this delivery since that moment and let me tell you it did not disappoint. 

Who Is NMBR9?

I was really underwhelmed by the website. It didn’t offer any info on the company itself. I know they make full spectrum hemp-based drink mix, that’s it. There is no info on the owners or how they came to be. I really like to know who is behind the product and it feels very mysterious and concealed which I’m not a fan of. I think building this part of the site would be incredibly helpful in making consumers more comfortable.

Nano or Nah?

Nowhere does it specify that this is a Nano-Cannabinoid product, but it most certainly behaves like one. The site vaguely mentions, solvent-less cold-water extracted cannabinoids & Mother Liquor. I’m still at a loss as to what exactly this is but here is what I do know. It goes 0-100 in seconds. This is one of the reasons my test was making shots, so let's get to the good stuff. 

SHOTS,SHOTS,SHOTS

I’m no scientist at all this is just how I mixed mine. 

1.5 ounces warm water*

1 ice cube 

1 scoop drink mix of choice

*warm water is important for it to fully dissolve, WARM NOT HOT

Add powder to warm water and swirl or mix until its mostly dissolved

Add ice and swirl until it melts

Knock it back 

This became the star of the night in seconds. I’m allergic to gluten which means basically all alcohol is off-limits for me. Not that I miss drinking but wine gets old, and I never pass up a chance to consume cannabis. I and fellow CannaMom had a moms' night in, here's how it went.

Experience

Within seconds chills rush across my entire body like a race to the finish line. It’s enough to make you shiver and I did for the first 10 or so minutes after taking it. I’m not mad about this at all with the days over 100 it's a wonderful reprieve from the heat. The chills are closely followed by a relaxed flowy feeling all over. Now did we take one? Absolutely not! We took at least four. 

Each one is made the same and built on the last, without becoming overwhelming. It provides a deep numbing effect all over, if that isn't your thing stick to no more than a dose at a time. It’s perfectly balanced and dare I say the perfect high to replace a standard shot. It’s heavy on the CBD which meant I could also smoke my normal prerolls and reach a glorious level of stoned. 

Overall

I absolutely love this, but I have one problem and this is a biggie for me. There is no COA to be found online. I highly recommend adding that to the product listing. Besides that, they won me over. I was never a shots person before but this did it. This is now a staple in my cabinet. It provides a similar feeling to alcohol without the nasty side effects. No hangover just a great night's sleep after, what more could you ask for! This gives everything you want with none of the stuff you don’t it’s the ultimate night-in.
