In the short time since they opened (just over a year!), Herban Flow has become a mainstay in the St. Pete drinks scene for functional, non-alcoholic, and alternative beverages. Not only is their full bottle shop at 6848 22nd Avenue North always full of life, but they have also become stars at just about every market, festival and event in town.

With THC in the news, now seems like the perfect time to highlight the spectacular lineup of THC-infused beverages Herban Flow offers. With so many types of drinks to choose from, it’s nice to focus on one style, and this happens to be one of the fastest-growing products in the state of Florida – and yes, it is completely legal in the state.

Luckily, our local shop has been way ahead of the game. In fact, Herban Flow has the largest THC selection in the entire state, showcasing more than 50 different cannabis brands and over 200 individual products. It’s also helpful to know that they are some of the nation and state’s most trusted bands, with product lines from such stalwarts as BREZ, Flora Hemp Spirits, Cheech and Chong, Milonga, and Cann.

Throughout those 50+ brands, there is a wide range of offerings to make sure customers get the experience they want. In addition to different dosages, options range from THC-infused seltzers, mocktails, juices, and sodas, to THC-infused spirits and mixers that allow you to create your own canna-cocktails. Plus, if you don’t feel like driving to the store, you can have all their products delivered to you with DoorDash.

For the unfamiliar, THC-infused drinks are similar to gummies, except that they hit much quicker because it’s a liquid. Skipping the wait for your body to break down the gummy certainly helps avoid accidentally overdoing it when you still aren’t feeling anything.

The beverage form also makes it more fun as a social activity, where you can take a six pack to the beach and work your way through it until you hit the perfect dose. Kick the booze and keep the buzz, all without getting a hangover, either.

And to be clear: it’s legal. Fully allowed in the state of Florida. The parameters around it have caused confusion, but boiled down, it’s relatively straightforward: THC is legal in Florida as long as it is derived from hemp. And all of Herban Flow’s THC products are hemp-derived, so you can purchase and drink them without any fear.

Derived from hemp, the THC still retains the effects and properties one would expect from other sources. Herban Flow co-owner Mike Smith has an excellent way of describing it, actually. Oranges and tangerines are both superb sources of Vitamin C, and it’s the same vitamin (with the same effect) either way. Florida is just saying you’re only allowed to get Vitamin C from oranges. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

We certainly recommend checking out Herban Flow’s shop in person, where you can try samples of many products, browse the shelves, and ask questions. They also regularly host big tastings and specialty events. Their products can also be browsed and ordered online at herbanflow.co.

For those who own restaurants, stores or other businesses and would like to sell Herban Flow’s products, they have also created their own dedicated non-alcoholic, functional beverage distribution company called Functional Beverages Distribution. Check out fbdistro.com to see their many offerings.

Herban Flow is St. Pete’s go-to NA and functional beverage store

Of course, Herban Flow is much more than just THC drinks. In fact, most of their products are something else entirely (we just thought the THC drinks were newsworthy at the moment). Even along similar lines, Herban Flow has a long list of CBD, CBG and CBN products for those who aren’t looking to get elevated.

The delightful shop offers an incredibly wide range of beverages, from non-alcoholic beer, wine and spirits, to herbal-infused beverages including kava, kratom, mushrooms, and cannabis. In addition to the take-home beverages, Herban Flow also has a tasting bar for sampling beverages and space for events.

Guests will also find healthy mixers, mocktails and more. The space truly has a wide range of offerings, with NA beer from the popular Athletic Brewing, canned mimosas, pre-made mocktails, and tons of wine from Rose and Chardonnay to a non-alcoholic Syrah. The zero-proof spirit selection runs deep, as well, with mezcal, gin, whiskey, rum and much more.

“Herban Flow is focused on establishing itself as a reliable and informative source for non-alcoholic beverages and wellness products alike, while helping to change the flow of social drinking,” ownership tells I Love the Burg.

Their arrival in St. Pete, greeted with enthusiasm, was a landmark for the state, as they became Florida’s first non-alcoholic + functional bottle shop.
