Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about hemp, cannabinoids, and what actually matters

There’s a lot of noise in the hemp world. Buzzwords, half-truths, and recycled talking points don’t help anyone make good decisions.

This space is where we break things down in plain English—what hemp-derived cannabinoids actually are, why formulation matters, and how to approach these products responsibly.

No preaching. No scare tactics. No hype. Just information you can actually use.

How to Enjoy L13ERTY

Everyone experiences L13ERTY a little differently. Here’s some guidance to help you find what works best for you.

How much should I drink to feel the effects? 

Most people notice the effects with one can, typically within about 15–30 minutes. The experience is designed to build gradually and feel smooth and steady — not sudden or overwhelming.

Because everyone responds a little differently, we recommend starting with one can and giving it time to settle in before deciding to have more.

When should I drink this?

L13ERTY was designed to fit into real life — from active days to relaxed evenings. It’s less about the clock and more about the moment.

Everyone responds a little differently, so starting slow and seeing what works for you is always the best approach.

During the Day
  • After a workout or long day when you want to feel relaxed and settled without feeling sluggish.
  • Social afternoons or early gatherings as an alternative to alcohol when you’d rather stay clear and present.
  • Creative work or low-key focus time when you’re looking for something elevated but balanced — not overstimulating.
In the Evening
  • Wind-down time when you’re transitioning from “on” to relaxed and want something smooth and controlled.
  • Dinner parties or nights out when you want to enjoy the moment without feeling out of control.
Can I drink this every day? 

Yes. L13ERTY is designed to fit naturally into your routine.

If you choose to enjoy it regularly, paying attention to how you feel is always the best guide. Moderation and awareness go a long way.

Can I drink more than one a day? 

Yes — many people do. That said, one can is enough for most people to feel the intended effects.

If you choose to have more, spacing them out and paying attention to how you feel is always the best approach. Starting slow helps you find your balance and avoid overdoing it.

How much caffeine does it have? 

L13ERTY contains 100mg of plant-based caffeine per can, sourced from green tea and ginseng.

That’s less than a large cup of coffee — and because it’s paired with ingredients like L-theanine, most people find the energy feels smoother and more controlled.

What if I don’t usually drink caffeine? 

If you’re sensitive to caffeine or don’t consume it often, starting with half a can is a smart way to see how you respond.

Many people find the energy feels steady rather than jittery — but listening to your body and easing in is always the best approach.

Before the Ingredients

You’ll hear a lot of industry terms when it comes to functional beverages and hemp — words like cannabinoids and adaptogens. Before we get into the ingredient list, here’s a plain-English explanation of a few of those terms, and what they actually mean for how Liberty13 is designed to feel.

Cannabinoids  

(kuh-NAB-uh-noydz) 

Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant. They interact with systems in the body that help regulate balance, mood, and relaxation. 

CBD and other hemp-derived ingredients are cannabinoids. Understanding that helps explain why these ingredients tend to feel subtle and supportive rather than intense or overpowering. 

Most people don’t feel cannabinoids as a sudden shift. Instead, they tend to show up as a gentle sense of calm — more like settling in than switching on. 

Adaptogens 

(uh-DAP-tuh-jenz) 

Adaptogens are are natural plants and mushrooms that help your body handle stress and stay balanced.  

They don’t force energy or relaxation. Instead, they support the body’s ability to respond more smoothly to whatever the day brings. 

Think of adaptogens as part of the reason Liberty13 feels steady and controlled — not spiky or unpredictable. 

Ingredients, Explained Simply

Outside of filtered, lightly carbonated water and fruit purées, these are all the ingredients in Liberty13 — listed in the same order you’ll see on the label — and what they’re designed to do, explained simply. 

Each ingredient was chosen for a reason. Together, they’re designed to support focus, calm, and clean energy without feeling overwhelming. 

Everyone experiences functional ingredients a little differently, so we always recommend starting slow and seeing what works best for you. 

Hemp Extract

(hemp EK-strakt) 

Hemp extract derived from hemp grown in Georgia, sourced intentionally as part of our commitment to quality and transparency. Hemp is a variety of the cannabis plant that’s legally cultivated and regulated in the U.S. 

We include hemp extract to support relaxation and balance as part of the overall experience, complementing the other functional ingredients rather than overpowering them. 

Most people describe feeling more relaxed and settled, without feeling out of control or impaired. 

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) 

(tee-aitch-see) 

THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp. It’s the compound most commonly associated with feeling “high.” 

In carefully measured amounts, THC can contribute to relaxation and a more elevated experience. We use it intentionally — as part of a balanced formulation, not to overwhelm or overpower. 

Most people describe the feeling as gentle and controlled, not intense. The experience is designed to feel smooth and approachable, especially when enjoyed mindfully.

CBD (Cannabidiol) 

(see-bee-DEE) 

CBD is a naturally occurring compound found in hemp. It’s non-intoxicating and widely used in wellness products. 

We use CBD to support a sense of calm and balance, helping the overall experience feel smoother and more grounded. 

Rather than a strong or dramatic effect, CBD tends to show up subtly — as an easier, more relaxed state of mind. 

Everyone responds a little differently, so we recommend starting slow and seeing what works best for you. 

Lion’s Mane Mushroom 

(LYE-unz MAYN) 

Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom that’s been around for a long time and is known for supporting mental clarity. 

We include it to help support focus, especially on days when your thoughts feel scattered or overloaded. 

Most people notice a clearer head and an easier time staying present — not a jolt, just a more dialed-in feeling. 

Ashwagandha 

(ah-shuh-GAHN-duh) 

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to help the body manage stress. 

It helps bring things back into balance when life feels busy, loud, or nonstop. 

Many people feel more relaxed and steady — like the edge has been turned down without feeling tired or slowed. 

Green Tea Extract 

(green tee EK-strakt) 

Green tea extract provides plant-based caffeine along with naturally occurring antioxidants. 

We use it for clean, manageable energy that feels smoother than a hard caffeine hit. 

Most people feel a gentle lift that builds gradually, without the spike-and-crash effect. 

Ginseng 

(JIN-seng) 

Ginseng is a root that’s been used for generations to support energy and vitality. 

It adds a little extra support for both mental and physical stamina, rounding out the energy experience. 

The result is a subtle boost that feels supportive rather than overpowering. 

L-Theanine 

(L THEE-uh-neen) 

L-theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves. 

It helps smooth caffeine and support calm focus, which is why it pairs so well with green tea. 

Energy tends to feel more focused and controlled, with fewer jitters or anxious buzz. 

Monk Fruit 

(monk froot) 

Monk fruit is a plant-based sweetener. 

We use it to add light sweetness without sugar, artificial sweeteners, or crashes. 

The sweetness is clean and subtle — there to support the flavor, not overpower it. 

Mushroom Fiber 

Mushroom fiber is a natural dietary fiber derived from mushrooms. 

It helps maintain consistency and freshness while keeping the formula plant-forward and simple. 

You won’t notice it directly — it’s there quietly doing its job so the drink stays smooth and enjoyable.
