The Collaboration: 21st Amendment × Manzanita Naturals
Hella High represents a groundbreaking partnership between two Bay Area pioneers:
21st Amendment Brewery: Founded in 2000, 21st Amendment became a San Francisco institution with their South Park brewpub sitting just two blocks from Oracle Park. The brewery's name honors the constitutional amendment that ended Prohibition, and their philosophy — "Celebrate the right to be original" — now extends to cannabis. They bring decades of craft beverage expertise to every Hella High product.
Manzanita Naturals: A San Francisco-based cannabis beverage company specializing in all-natural THC and CBD-infused drinks. Their commitment to quality and innovation has made them a leader in California's cannabis beverage market. With Hella High, they've combined their cannabis infusion expertise with 21st Amendment's craft brewing heritage.
The Mission: This collaboration celebrates Bay Area community and culture, creating a local, artisan craft beverage line that showcases what happens when two craft industries unite around shared values of quality, creativity, and experience.
Flavor Profile
Hella High Watermelon delivers pure summer refreshment with every sip.
Aroma: The nose opens with bright, juicy watermelon — the unmistakable scent of fresh-cut melon on a hot day. Clean, sweet, and inviting without artificial candy overtones.
Taste: Mouthwatering watermelon flavor takes center stage — sweet, refreshing, and true to the fruit. The taste is bold and satisfying, delivering genuine watermelon character rather than synthetic sweetness. It's the flavor of summer picnics and backyard barbecues, elevated to craft beverage quality.
Mouthfeel: The nitrogen infusion creates a silky, smooth texture that distinguishes Hella High from standard cannabis drinks. Non-carbonated but never flat — the nitrogen adds body and creaminess that makes each sip feel premium.
Finish: Clean and refreshing with lingering watermelon sweetness. No bitter cannabis aftertaste — just pure fruit flavor from start to finish.
Tasting Notes: Fresh watermelon, subtle sweetness, clean finish
Effects & Experience
Onset: Cannabis beverages typically begin taking effect within 15-45 minutes — faster than traditional edibles due to liquid absorption. Hella High's formulation delivers relatively quick onset while maintaining smooth, controllable effects.
The High: At 100mg total THC, this is a high-dose beverage designed for experienced cannabis consumers or group sharing:
- Euphoric and uplifting
- Relaxing without heavy sedation
- Social and conversational
- Long-lasting (4-8 hours depending on dose consumed)
Character: The watermelon flavor creates a refreshing, summer-vibes experience that pairs naturally with outdoor activities, social gatherings, and warm-weather enjoyment. It's cannabis that feels like a celebration.
Duration: Expect effects to last 4-8+ hours depending on consumption amount. Cannabis beverages metabolize similarly to edibles, producing longer-lasting effects than inhalation methods.
Dosing Guide
This is a 100mg beverage — dose carefully based on your experience level.
| Experience Level | Recommended Dose | THC Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Start with 1/2 serving | ~5mg THC |
| Occasional User | 1 serving | 10mg THC |
| Regular User | 1-2 servings | 10-20mg THC |
| Experienced User | 2-3 servings | 20-30mg THC |
| High Tolerance | Adjust to preference | Up to 100mg |
Dosing Tips:
- Start low, go slow — especially if new to cannabis beverages
- Wait 45-60 minutes before consuming more to assess effects
- Use a jigger or measuring cup — the can doesn't provide precise serving marks
- One serving = 35.5ml (approximately 1.2 ounces)
- Share or session — 100mg provides flexibility for groups or multiple occasions
Why 100mg? High-dose beverages represent the most popular format in California's cannabis beverage market, offering better value per milligram and the flexibility to micro-dose throughout an event or share from a single can.

How to Enjoy
Straight from the can: Shake gently before opening. Drink chilled for maximum refreshment. Pace yourself — this isn't a single-serving beverage for most people.
Over ice: Pour over ice for an even more refreshing experience. The nitrogen infusion maintains smoothness even as ice dilutes slightly.
As a mixer: Hella High Watermelon works beautifully in mocktails:
- Add sparkling water or club soda for effervescence
- Mix with lime juice and mint for a cannabis watermelon mojito mocktail
- Combine with lemonade for a summer punch
- Blend with ice for a watermelon slushie
Temperature: Best served cold (35-45°F). Refrigerate before consuming for optimal flavor and refreshment.
Storage
- Store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate
- Keep can upright to maintain nitrogen infusion integrity
- Best consumed within 6 months of purchase for optimal flavor
- Once opened, consume within 24-48 hours (refrigerate any remainder)
- Do not freeze
Why "Hella High"?
The name is pure Bay Area authenticity. "Hella" — Northern California's signature slang — meets the promise of a serious cannabis experience. It's local, it's real, and it celebrates the spirit of the 21st Amendment itself: the right to enjoy what was once prohibited, now crafted with care and consumed responsibly.
Every can represents Bay Area pride — two local companies combining their expertise to create something that could only come from San Francisco.
Watermelon vs. Mango: Choosing Your Flavor
| Aspect | Watermelon | Mango |

| Flavor Character | Crisp, refreshing, summer | Tropical, creamy, rich |
| Best Season | Summer | Year-round |
| Mixer Potential | Great with citrus, mint | Great with coconut, cream |
| Vibe | Picnic, pool party, outdoor | Relaxed evening, tropical escape |
| Sweetness | Light, clean | Fuller, more complex |
Both flavors share the same 100mg THC, 12 oz format, and nitrogen-infused smoothness — choose based on your flavor preference and occasion.

Hella High is available in multiple flavors:

Cannabis Beverages: The Social Choice
Cannabis beverages offer unique advantages for social consumption:
Familiar Ritual: Sharing drinks, toasting, sipping together — these social rituals translate naturally from alcohol to cannabis beverages. Hella High fits seamlessly into social settings where smoking might feel out of place.
Precise Control: Unlike pre-dosed edibles, beverages let you control exactly how much you consume throughout an event. Take a sip, wait, assess, repeat.
Discretion: A can of Hella High looks like any craft beverage. Enjoy cannabis without announcing it to everyone around you.
No Smoke: For those who prefer not to inhale, beverages offer a clean, lung-friendly alternative with comparable effects to edibles.
