Pocket Elixirs are 3ml’s of precision crafted experiences.  They are flavorless drink additives with rapid onset that provide predictable and beneficial experiences. These are the ideal replacement for alcohol because they can be added to the drink of your choice and provide a pleasant, predictable mood elevating experiences with no unpleasant hangover or side effects.

Pocket Elixirs are scientifically-based formulas that use a variety of major cannabinoids, minor cannabinoids and terpenes to deliver experiences as rich and complex as smoking cannabis flower. Most cannabis beverages contain only THC and CBD.  Koan’s formulas include emulsified terpenes and minor cannabinoids which deliver refined and uniquely satisfying experiences. For detailed ingredients please reference the Product Page.

Yes — they're a large part of why two products with the same THC feel different. Minor cannabinoids are central to the character and tone of the experience.

Current research — mostly preclinical, with some human evidence — suggests they meaningfully shape the character of an experience. What's overstated is precise, guaranteed per-terpene outcomes; what's fair is that terpene composition changes how it feels.

The therapeutic version is still debated and actively researched. What's not debated is that the supporting compounds shape the experience, and that fragile terpenes and minor cannabinoids must be delivered intact to matter. Koan emulsifies every ingredient in Pocket Elixirs to protect the entourage effect.

Fragile minor cannabinoids and terpenes degrade through the digestive-tract/liver route and much of the THC converts to 11-hydroxy-THC; full emulsification of every constituent is designed to bypass that, delivering the whole entourage intact.  Koan emulsifies every ingredient in Pocket Elixirs to protect the entourage effect.  This is one reason why Koan’s Pocket Elixirs are unique.

Because THC sets intensity, but the minor cannabinoids and terpenes set character and tone. Strip them out — or degrade them in delivery — and you get a stronger, blunter, less defined experience.

Anywhere, that’s what’s great about Pocket Elixirs.  Add one to a smoothy before yoga, in a mocktail at a bar or restaurant, at a concert, at work.  

These come in convenient, discrete individual packets that you can slip into your pocket and take to a party, a concert or a happy hour.

Pocket Elixirs are unflavored so you can enjoy them in any beverage you like – sweet or savory, warm or cold.

Pocket Elixirs do not need to be refrigerated but keeping them cool extends their shelf life.

The levels of THC in grocery store drinks might be locally regulated so vendors may offer less potent products in those places but mainly, generally those channels offer the same products.

GLIDE delivers a gentle, relaxing (but not sedative) experience that lets you get on with your day with a little more calm, patience, warmth and joy.

SOAR invites inspiration, exploration and elevation.  Its higher THC is euphoric, heart opening and energetic.

Pocket Elixirs are good social tonics that provide an alternative to alcohol.  Koan has carefully developed formulas which deliver relaxation, relieve social anxiety and offer a nice buzz without the negative health effects of alcohol.  With Pocket Elixirs you can enjoy that uplift in the beverage of your choice

GLIDE is a great product to have instead of wine.  Like wine, it gently relaxes you and it’s mild enough to have one or more glasses throughout the evening.  But GLIDE is  actually superior to wine. You can use GLIDE any time of day or throughout the day.  Unlike wine, GLIDE won’t muddy your focus, or make you irritable or sleepy. While GLIDE is relaxing, it’s not sedative and is formulated with a touch of joy. It provides a warm calm, increases your focus and patience so you can better appreciate the moment you are in. GLIDE enhances your morning yoga, helps with business presentation and can even help you be a better parent.

You will start to feel the Pocket Elixir effects in 15-20 minutes peaking in about 60-90 minutes. The experiences average approximately three to four hours.  Expect the peak experience to last approximately 90 minutes and tail off beautifully.

When you pour a Pocket Elixir into a beverage, this allows you to manage the onset time.  If you sip your product over a longer period, this delays the time when you will feel the full effects.  At peak, the experience is like taking the Pocket Elixir straight.  The timing of the experience depends on how quickly you ingest the Pocket Elixir. It’s the same mechanism that allows you to sip several of these throughout an evening and keep a comfortable, stable buzz. 

Tolerance, what you've eaten, metabolism, and setting can all affect the result. Matching the dose to your current state — and giving it time before adding more — is what keeps it consistent.

It can. Food, and especially high-fat food, changes absorption. With an emulsified format, a heavy fatty meal right before or after can work against the design; a lighter stomach tends to give a cleaner, more predictable onset.

They overlap but aren't identical. Microdosing means very small amounts; precision dosing is broader — it's about reaching a specific experience with the minimum effective dose, whatever that is for you.

No. Individual response follows a bell curve, and it shifts with tolerance and context. Precision dosing targets the useful middle for most people while leaving room to calibrate to yourself.

Traditionaledibles can be unpredictable.This is because they route through digestion and the liver, where timing and intensity vary and where much of the THC converts to the heavier 11-hydroxy-THC. Emulsified formats, such as cannabis beverages,  are designed for more consistent, predictable onset.

Vapes come on faster and they hit harder.  Vapes are a very highly concentrated dose of THC. It’s one reason they hit harder.  The high concentration puts much more of the chemical into your body and is absorbed through your lungs.  Drinking is a healthiest way to ingest cannabis and we have much more control over the dosing.  Vaping will give you much higher concentration of THC and will lead overtime to the down regulation of your Endo cannabinoid system.  

Emulsified beverages mimic the initial onset time of inhaled products (vaping or smoking) at under five minutes. However, the peak time and the total effect time are very different. The peak time of inhaled products is sometimes as quick as 10 minutes while the peak time for emulsified liquid products like ours is about 60 to 75 minutes. The total felt effect time for inhaled products can be 30 to 60 minutes while the total effect time for our products can be as long as three hours.

Live Resin/Rosin oils are a random (but sometimes good)) mix of terpenes plus cannabinoids. It is more of a gamble on whether or not you get a good mix of terps or a bad mix because it is a “whole plant extract”.

For our products, we isolate each cannabis plant ingredient before emulsification so that we know the exact quantities of each for each batch. It allows for the same experience each time, holding all other variables constant.

Pocket Elixirs are infused with Delta-9 THC, a psychoactive compound found in both cannabis and hemp.  As with any THC product, just how high you get depends on your body’s response to THC, your tolerance, and the amount you consume.

No. Individual response follows a bell curve, and it shifts with tolerance and context. Precision dosing targets the useful middle for most people while leaving room to calibrate to yourself.

Start low and give it time before deciding whether to have more — the goal is the smallest amount that reaches the feeling you want, not a fixed number. Your useful range is personal and becomes clear over a few careful sessions.

Wait first. A well-formulated drink can take time to fully arrive, and redosing early is the most common way people overshoot. Give the first serving enough time before considering more.  Pocket Elixirs were designed to be used alone, together or one after another. It all depends on the experience you want to create when you are using them.  Experiment to see what works best for you. The great thing about our Elixirs is that you can precisely calibrate your experience over time.

If you use cannabis heavily and often, your CB1 receptors have likely adapted and become less responsive, so a small dose doesn't register. It's tolerance, not a failure of the product — and it reverses with a break.

Yes. Research shows receptor availability recovers toward normal after roughly a month of abstinence. A reduced-or-paused stretch is what makes low doses meaningful again.

The products contain THC which will show positive in a drug test.

We do not recommend driving after taking any substance which alters your focus, reaction time or attention span.  Always try any new products at home and in a safe environment.

No,   They work through a different mechanism than alcohol, whose next-day effects come from how the body processes ethanol. 

Pocket Elixirs allow you to enjoy wonderful evenings and wake up clear and refreshed in the morning. Finally you can have the fun aspects of alcohol with none of the bad stuff!

On alcohol, the evidence is clear: major health authorities now hold that no amount is risk-free. Low-dose THC doesn't act through those pathways, but it carries its own considerations (impairment, individual sensitivity, not for driving).

Alcohol is directly and well-documented to harm the liver over time. Cannabis is not metabolized through that same damaging route in the same way. This is general information, not medical advice — anyone with liver concerns should talk to a clinician.

Hold them over your beverage, fold them in half with the colored side up, gently squeeze the liquid from the sachet into your glass.

Yes, although we do not recommend adding them to alcohol as this interferes with the intended experience.

Sure, we strongly encourage this.   Some of your friends will like GLIDE and others will opt for SOAR.  That’s why we made the FLIGHT PACK.

Of course, but heavy or fatty food may change the timing and quality of the experience.  For the optimal Pocket Elixir experience, avoid having a very heavy meal before your Pocket Elixir. 

Our Elixirs are fully compliant with the 2018 farm bill. We use naturally extracted Delta-9 THC derived from hemp which accounts for no more than 0.3% of the net weight of the product.

Pocket Elixirs have been tested several times by respected 3rd party labs during their production.   For detailed information see the COAs available on our product pages.
