What Is Fast Acting THC?
By Angela Queen | May 6, 2025
As cannabis and hemp wellness products improve, fast acting THC is becoming one of the most exciting innovations. For those who want to feel the effects of cannabis quickly, faster onset times can be beneficial. This is especially true for relaxation, stress relief, social ease, or pain relief. But what exactly is fast-acting THC, how does it work, and why are so many people making the switch?
In this article, we will explain how fast-acting THC works. We will also discuss its benefits. Finally, we will show how our new Social Drops THC drink enhancer is changing the game.
We will also look at how nano THC technology is changing cannabis use. This might be the future of recreational cannabis. Especially for people who want specific effects in a convenient way.
What Is Fast Acting THC?
Fast acting THC means products made to give you the effects of THC faster than regular edibles or oils. Conventional THC products, such as baked goods or capsules, can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. That long wait can be annoying and hard to predict. This is especially true when you want to relax, hang out, or deal with symptoms right away.
Fast acting THC, by contrast, begins to work in as little as 5 to 15 minutes. This is a game changer for people who want more control, more consistency, and less waiting around.
The secret behind this faster absorption? Advanced science, especially a process called nano emulsification, is the basis for new THC and CBD products. These innovations are now possible because of the 2018 Farm Bill.
How Does Fast Acting THC Work?
In most traditional THC edibles, the compound goes through your digestive system. Your liver processes it before it enters your bloodstream. This slow, winding path delays the onset of effects and introduces a high degree of difference.
Everyone’s metabolism is different. This makes it hard to predict how strong the experience will be or when it will start.
Fast-acting THC products use nano technology. This technology breaks down THC molecules into a liquid THC that you can mix into any beverage. This process is called nano emulsification.
These tiny particles absorb more easily through the mouth, stomach lining, or upper digestive tract. This helps them avoid much of the slow digestive process and deliver the desired effects quickly and efficiently.
As a result, you get:
- Quicker onset
- More predictable effects
- Greater control over your experience

Introducing Social Drops: A Fast Acting THC Drink Enhancer
One of the most innovative products to harness this nano-THC technology is our RedeemRx Social Drops (coming soon).
🍹 What are Social THC Drops?
Social Drops are a fast-acting THC drink enhancer. They add no flavor and uplift people who want to feel relaxed, social, and at ease. You can enjoy them without alcohol, sugar, or waiting. You simply drop it into your favorite beverage (water, juice, mocktails, tea, etc.), stir, and sip.
Each serving contains:
- 2.5mg of fast acting THC
- 10mg of caffeine
- 50mg of L-Theanine (a calming compound found in green tea)
This carefully balanced formula helps you feel calm yet energized—social, but not over-stimulated. It mimics the relaxed buzz of a cocktail—without the hangover, calories, or dehydration.
Is it Delta 9 THC or Delta 8 THC?
Yes — Social Drops contain Delta 9 THC, specifically in a nano-emulsified, fast-acting form. Each serving contains 2.5mg of hemp-derived Delta 9 THC. This is made according to the 2018 Farm Bill. The bill made hemp-derived THC and CBD products legal and more available.

Social Drops vs. Traditional Edibles: What’s the Difference?
Are There Any Downsides?
While fast acting THC offers many benefits, it’s still important to approach it responsibly:
- Effects come on quickly, so be mindful of your dose.
- Start low and go slow, especially if you’re new to THC.
- Some people may find fast acting products wear off a bit quicker than traditional edibles—though this varies by person.
Most users find the benefits much greater than the drawbacks. This is especially true for federally legal hemp-based options that follow the 2018 Farm Bill.

Social Drops FAQ
Are social drops a water soluble THC?
Yes! Social Drops contain nano-emulsified, water-soluble Delta 9 THC. This means that the process breaks the THC into small particles. These particles mix easily into any drink and absorb quickly into your body—usually within 5 to 15 minutes. This makes them a fast-acting and convenient option compared to traditional edibles or oils.
Are they drops for anxiety?
Social Drops help create a calm and relaxed feeling. This can make it easier to handle anxiety in social situations.
Each serving includes a small, measured dose of Delta 9 THC, L-theanine (a calming compound from green tea), and caffeine for balance. Many users report feeling more relaxed, happy, and social after using them. They are not marketed as anxiety treatments, though.
Do they have side effects?
Like all THC products, side effects are possible, especially if you take more than your ideal dose. These may include:
- Drowsiness or fatigue
- Mild anxiety or paranoia (usually with higher doses)
- Dry mouth
- Impaired coordination
To lower the chance of side effects, start with a small amount. Begin with one dropper or less. Wait to feel the effects before taking more.
